Is every country really corrupt?

[anushkasachith888]

YES every country on this planet has a corrupt government employee somewhere in the chain

I am not sure about that. There are countries such as Denmark, Iceland and New Zealand, where the corruption levels are practically zero. For the past many years, none of the government officials have been convicted of taking bribes in these nations. Japan is another country where corruption is close to zero.

Denmark belongs to Scandinavian countries. The list of Scandinavian countries are
Denmark, Faros Islands,Finland,Greenland,Iceland,Norway,Sweden, these countries high level of good governance and democracy. high living standards and social security. almost zero crimes rate,
So Scandinavian countries are being considered as the world best countries to live in.

I don't know, but everyone from my country thinks that ours is the most corrupt in world. Is it the same in yours too? If so...why, or how come?

In my country thier are too many corrupt people in our government  like our police high way patrol group etc.  But the most corrupted  person in our country is the past president.

The fact is that there is no country without corruption... Its just the level by which it's been committed that differs

I dont believed that every country is corrupt. I do believed that the politician is corrupt in the government. They are the reason why their people having poverty.

I think there are many country are also corrupt , not just your country . My country are also corrupt a lot because I heard some bad news about politics and my country seems to be slowly developing because of that

Actually, its not the country itself is the corrupt but to those people official who has an authority in the government are the corrupt but I'm not saying all officials but some of them and every country has it own officials which is corrupt.

for me,no matter what country it is there is still corruption. i think it would not be disappear. maybe it's really part of human life.

[thugpi]

Well I believe that is true, every country  has corrupt pitician, small time or bigtime it is always there. The only difference is the wealth of the country. Because if that country is rich, people don't feel the effect but if the country is poor it causes  huge effect to its people

[randal9]

more or less, I think that each...but there are also minimally corrupt countries where people's lives are fairly harmonious and comfortable

I don't think so. Many countries are corrupt, because the people, especially politicians, take advantages, earn wealth by ignoring rules, sacrifice other people. but I had ever read an article about the most happiest Country in the world, it said that Bhutan (Middle Asia) is the number one, even though Bhutan is a poor country. but it said that Bhutan's people don't care about wealthy (money). the thing they care the most is religion (and culture). yes, Bhutan is a religious country, their society run based on religious teachings, helping each other is a must, having a lot of money and luxurious house are disgrace. They thankful what they've got.
I won't say no corruption at all is there, but I think the collective happy people can minimize corruption.

No country is free of corruption. A few have done a great job reducing it - Northern Europe in particular. Most are pretty terrible for corruption. Transparency International publishes a Corruption Perceptions Index that will provide an overview of any country's perceived corruption level.

Often, specific power structures and management architectures offer easier ways to corrupt politicians, businessmen or the military to exploit the system. Many governments find their roots in the constitutions of past generations and have outgrown their current systems. Many other countries are governed by a number of independent tribal leaders and often lack a centralized power structure with any significant influence.

Evil is everywhere, so I think corruption is also everywhere.

Corruption is the biggest problem in the ex-USSR countries. Even in Georgia they try to fight against it, but have progress for short period of time.

[Kalu1]

In my own view, everybody on the planet in one way or the other is a corrupt individual. Corruption in my own view can be considered as inborn for human race.

[shaun98]

I'm sure every country faces corruption. While the entire government may not be corrupt, for sure there will be a few officials who are greedy and power hungry. These people just think of themselves and will end up spreading their disease of corruption all over the country if not weeded out.

[yoseph]

Even when those who are in the higher hierarchy of power are not corrupt there is bound to be someone somewhere who is really corrupt and loot the national resources for their own gain. There is without doubt corruption in very country of the world.

[Clefnick]

Almost all countries of the world are corrupt, they only at different level

[Kira Del Rosario]

Corruption cannot actually be stopped. Because it signifies in a country that there is leadership. The corrupt get to corrupt others, that's what the government is doing. And this is an opinion that we can't even somehow accept.

[leppyj]

every country is corrupt its only the level of corruption that is different.
