Answer 2

Difference Between Bribery And Blackmail

Answer 3

Reward is a gift (of money or other) for remarkable or exceptional service or work. This could be anything from turning in criminal to a tip for good service.

Bribery is paying (money or other) someone to do something they shouldn't--either unethical or illegal. This is an illegal act in the strictest sense (not the casual, common use of the word)

Blackmail is getting someone to pay in order to prevent the revelation of an embarrassing, immoral, or illegal situation. This action is illegal and coercive.

Compensation is payment for services rendered.

If you are a bag man for the mob, you could be compensated for blackmailing someone who took a bribe, and you could then get a reward for turning them in.

Answer 4

Reward=getting money for services rendered when, a reward is offered.
Bribery= Telling someone that you will tell on them, if they don't give you that apple.
Blackmail= Telling someone that you will kill thier cat , if they don't eat your cooking.
Compensation= Making up for something gone wrong or paying you back.
That's it! God Bless You!
