Corruption is a general concept describing any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose.


Specific types of corruption include:

Putrefaction or decomposition of recently living matter. This physical process is the primary model of the metaphorical meaning of corruption, so advanced states of corruption in, e.g. a political structure are said to result in their putrefaction.
Moral corruption refers to corruption of the mind that transcends the moral and ethical dictates and standards.
Political corruption, dysfunctions of a political system or institution in which politically elected officials seek illegitimate personal gain through actions such as bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. "Rent seeking" is a closely related term in economics.
Bureaucratic corruption, relates to mainly to nepotism and pecuniary corruption by bureaucrats that pushes up the cost of functioning of public offices, penalizes the public exchequer or clients or both.
Police corruption, a type of bureaucratic corruption that infects police departments, and includes misuse of authoirty in addition to bribery. Police mis-conduct is a closley associated phenomenon.
Data corruption, the receiving of data which is different from that which was transmitted or otherwise intended.
Corruption (linguistics) of language or a text into a broken form or a different meaning.
Tempting a mind to do immoral things, e.g. corrupting the youth.


now who is not corrupt......well...
I have seen the people who are used to travel in the bus or train whiout paying the fare. Think ! Are we not filling the air in the balloon of corruption. We people are used to say that our leaders & politicians are corrupt from the core of their heart. No doubt ! I think so also. But if they are corrupt and decieving the countrymen then why don't we raise a voice of agitaion. Why are we the mute spectators?
If we people want free our country or nation from the paws of corruption then first of all we all have to clean our own soul first. I want to say if you want to bring an improvement in something then take the initiative yourself so that people could follow you. After that you'll be eligible to raise a finger against those who are corrupt...

According to the dictionary, "CORRUPTION" means inducement to a functionary to dispose a case in favour of that person by improper and unlawful means( such as bribe)!"
At least two persons are needed for acorrupt act. The 'giver' of the bribe as well as the 'receiver' are guilty!
Much is said about the receivers only and very little is said or done with the giver.
In such cases, obviously the person who bribes gets the advantage.Hence. to put an end to this practice both should be, aftyer proper trial. be punished with jail sentence for five years.

Corruption in real meaning is anything outside the normal course.

Most people use and understand the word in terms of money. But there could be political corruption, mind corruption, athics corruption and for that matter anything.

As the word Corruption is having diverse meanings in diverse contexts, every body is corrupt in his/her own way. The corruption can be dangerous either to self or to others.

Hence, simply put corruption is nothing but diluation of things resulting in bad effects most of the time.

All are corrupt in one way or other atleast once in their life.

Better forget the word itself.

The person who gives money or gift is corrupt, because he knocks off some for himself first, the person who takes should be dismissed from service for compromising public interest.

Corruption is the evil that politicians commit against the people by robbing them of the taxes that they pay instead of giving back public services.
