The
word corruption means the destruction, ruining or the spoiling of a society or
a nation. A corrupt society stops valuing integrity, virtue or moral
principles. It changes for the worse. Such a society begins to decay and sets
itself on the road to self destruction. Corruption is an age old phenomena.
Selfishness and greed are the two main causes of corruption. Political
corruption is the abuse of their powers by state officials for their unlawful
private gain.
