SUMMARY and Response

In Zussman’s (2005) article “Fighting Corruption Is a Global Concern,” he discusses anti-corruption conference in Beijing that helps corrupting think about corruption in word. First, he talks about Transparency International report and making corruption issues visible to public. Many countries global are walking together to abolish corruption in society and governments. Thus, many countries are occupied with anti-corruption efforts. Next, he points out the four factors help government development of anti-corruption. Those are making laws, knowing rules, enforcing laws, and choosing right people to help the government. Also, the author uses Canada to prove the four factors are useful. In conclusion, the author states all of laws for anti-corruption need the strong support of people.

It is clear that anti-corruption is very important. The author tell us corruption makes many problems such as economic problems and citizen’s quality of live problems. Corruption has many bad influences. Therefore, people should reject corruption because it makes many unfair situations, social problems and wrong personality.

First, corruption causes many people live in the unfair situations. A lot of people have low opportunity to get job because of corruption. For example, there are two person, one is rich the other one is poor; they want to work in the famous company such as Microsoft. The rich one person gets a job because he gives money to someone. On the other hand, the poor one can not get a job. Moreover, wrong people will not get punishment. For instance, a speeder gives money to a police so that he will not get speed ticket. Rich people can get many advantages; however, poor people can not get those advantages. Therefore, corruption makes our live in the unfair environment.

Second, corruption not only causes unfair situations but also it makes many social problems. Corruption lets some people break laws. For example, a judge receives money from a guilty person. The judge may acquit the guilty person even though the guilty person killed someone. So, our society will become unsafe because many guilty people still stay in our society. Furthermore, corruption creates gap between rich and poor. Rich people can use money to make more money or get what they want. On the other hand, poor people can not do that because they do not have enough money allow them give money to someone. Thus, rich people become richer and poor people become poorer in our society. Corruption let our social development tend to the wrong way. Government should make laws and stop people still accept corruption.

Finally, corruption also makes personality development in the wrong way. Corruption makes people to think about money is everything because we can use money to get everything what we want. Therefore, people will not care about anything beside money. Moreover, corruption causes some people no conscience. People can do very bad things because of money. They will not care about what bad things will happen on the other people even though they kill people for money. People will consider money can solve everything and get everything. People should stop corruption for tending our personality in the right way.

In conclusion, corruption has a lot of influence such as unfair situations, social problems, and personality that develop the wrong way. Government should make laws to stop corruption and teach us to reject corruption. Corruption should disappear from in our world also anti-corruption is necessary so that many things can become legitimatize and candid so that we can have nice life in our world.
