Corruption has many Faces
Corruption has many
faces: extortive, nepotistic, investive, transactive, defensive,
willing, savior, taken for granted. In extortive corruption money is
wrested from a person by violence, intimidation or abuse of authority.
It is a kind of blackmailing, robbery, cheating and stealing. Nepotistic
corruption embraces undue benefits to the relations and known figures.
Investive corruption is not indulged into because of some current
benefit or favor. It is given for the future. It is a kind of
investment and can help when need arises in future. Transactive one is a
smooth two-way traffic between the: donor and the recipient. It is give
and take, no bargaining and no heckling. Benefit to the donor and the
recipient match. Defensive one is protective. It is indulged into in
self-defense. Willing corruption is when one gives money riot linked to
the job done. You give money to the man who brings your passport or
examination result card and so on. Savior corruption saves the skin of
the corrupted when they are caught red handed. Taken for, granted
corruption is that corruption when one has to shell out money even when
one is lawfully in the right., You know the officer will not allow you
to go. Nomenclature does not end here. Corruption is hydra-headed demon.
