Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age

[coupable]

The title of the topic was very tempting to see the different ideas in this regard, especially since it is a specialty understood only by specialists (experts, lawyers...).  But is it really possible to believe that this can be taught to children?  
The rule is that children should be taught good deeds and then, in a slightly advanced year, they will ask themselves questions and try to find answers.  In principle, everything cannot be taught, since each field has special legal rules that may not include other cases.

What a timely topic for me. I was just browsing with some short videos and there's this interesting vid that I've watched that teaches about sin, lying and honesty.

I think what should be taught at a young age is to be honest. Corruption's root is from being dishonest so the other criminal minds do have these activities building up because of dishonesty.

And if we're going to imagine that all people in the government are honest, all companies are honest, everyone is honest. We'd be living in utopia.

These days the parents and teachers were much into educating the children than teaching them disciplines of life that makes him/her a good person in the society. Everything needs to start from the home, we need to teach them how to be good than how to become a physician/engineer/scientist, etc. When a kid is disciplined and know what to do and what shouldn't, automatically he/she will understand and learn the right thing to make a change and support the society.

This is agreed. 
The problem is whether it is permissible to teach children all possible dangers and how much this helps them in an early educational stage.  Studying the risks of anything is supposed to be part of the course.  It's really complicated and I don't think it's been seriously addressed even academically.

Most counseling would probably tell you this "children will follow whatever the parents show as an example not their words", and that is partially true. This may also be off topic but, you know people are honed not only by their home but also from their environment, life style, norms and traditions. In regards to corruption, a child can be taught that it has bad impact on your home, but the thing is, would they understand that? A child can slowly mature and learn the process of life through their experience and what we as parents can contribute is just to guide them not to lose their paths.

I think teaching the young ones about corruption wouldn’t have the effects in the long run like you think it would. We all know the difference between right and wrong and actually don’t need to be taught that stealing from the public funds is not a good thing to do. People will do whatever they want to do especially if there is no repercussions for their actions.
More people would be inclined to indulge in wrongdoings cause everybody would seem to be doing it. There will always be greedy and selfish people everywhere and you can’t change that with education about corruption
While teaching the young ones about the dangers of corruption wouldn’t totally eradicate it in our societies, it might just put a small dent.

Indeed socialization from an early age regarding corruption can have a positive impact on life in the future. It cannot be denied that corruption is a big problem. In my opinion, dissatisfaction with what is obtained from the work done is the initial factor for people to commit corruption. a thank you is not enough to repay hard work.

[Latviand]

I totally agree with you but I think that we should put that lesson somewhere along the age of 12-18 years old because the concept of corruption is complex and young underdeveloped minds might not be able to handle the complexities, to be honest I think that we should focus more on morality, behavior, ethics and individuality, with a strong moral and ethical foundation, even if they don't know the complexities of corruption, their conscience will be a big stop gap.

Teach the kids by example like how countries are destroyed by corrupt leaders and how corrupts damages a country and individuals. 
Now in our time where corruption is at its peak there is dire need to teach kids about what is corruption and what are its consequences.

In developed countries, the level of corruption is much lower, what could be the reason for this? Indeed, in these countries there is no subject, that studies the harm of corruption. Most likely, the standard of living in these countries is much higher, respectively, the population is more conscious and people have different values.

And if young people are taught that corruption is bad, but they will see a completely different picture that is actually happening in their government, then there will be very little benefit from such training, because there will be a discrepancy with reality.

[YUriy1991]

I think I really agree with the statement that corruption must be taught from an early age. Children are the future leaders of our society and it is important for them to understand the negative impact corruption has on individuals and the nation as a whole.

One effective way to teach children about corruption is through example. Educators can use real life examples of how corruption has caused the downfall of countries and the suffering of people. This approach can help children understand the seriousness of corruption and its long-term effects.

I would add In addition to using examples, it is important to emphasize the consequences of corruption. This could include discussing how corruption affects the economy, the environment and society as a whole. Yes, our children should be encouraged to think critically about this issue and realize that corruption is not just an abstract concept, but a real problem that affects everyone.

Most likely, the standard of living in these countries is much higher, respectively, the population is more conscious and people have different values.

Perhaps because most developed countries, having been in existence for far more longer than most developing nations and has had decades to go at it over and over till they finally got it right.
Now, you wouldn’t actually expect a developing nation that is obviously still developing to overnight have the characteristics and qualities of a developed nation. All that would take work and time which the developed nations has fortunately had a lot of.

The level of corruption would seem higher in developing countries than in developed countries. I do not doubt that. But like I stated, developed countries has had some good time to put in place working policies that would deter and punish wrongdoers irrespective of who the person is.

Greed is a part of being human, we can control our own greed but cannot control the greed of others. Today, corruption has become a cultural feature of government work, and its elimination is impossible, and no politician wants to eliminate it. We are citizens, so it is very frustrating and annoying to see so many others corrupt. But I believe that if you or I become a politician, corruption will happen.

[bayu7adi]

When a country is deeply rooted in a culture of corruption, starting from the lowest levels of government institutions, corruption becomes the heart of the administration and will continue to regenerate across future generations. Its ever-growing presence within the government makes it difficult for anti-corruption fighters to prevail, as other legal channels within relevant institutions are also compromised. Corrupt officials with established financial and political power can easily defeat anti-corruption warriors. In light of this, many countries should follow China's example, where every corrupt official deserves the death penalty. No obstacles such as Human Rights that have become a shield for corrupt officials.

In fact, in one country, this action has already become public knowledge. Many people openly engage in corruption, but society chooses to remain silent, realizing that their actions will not lead to a better outcome.

Obviously a word of thanks would not be enough to pay for any work today as they are just additional words to complete the payment of wages to each worker. I also agree with the matter of early socialization for corruption problems because it is also an effort to eradicate corruption from an early age before it continues to happen in the future, and things like a person's dissatisfaction with what he has done are because he cannot be grateful. existing income so that they still want to take the rights of others by committing corruption.

Even when everyone is aware that corruption is occurring, authority is frequently entrenched, making it difficult to eradicate.  People who gain from manipulating a system typically take efforts to stop others from destroying it.  They always strengthen their position and increase their own authority.  Education by itself is insufficient.  People must take action at some time, which frequently entails using violence and civil unrest.   

[Faisal2202]

However, I believe that if the problem of corruption can be addressed at a young age, every country's degree of corruption will significantly decline in the near future.

You raised a very good point mate, No wonder if we start to teach our Childs from a young age, How? By doing it ourselves if we will not avoid embezzling money whenever we will get a chance, at some point our child will see us and will try to copy us because that's what the children do, (copy us).

Like, i have seen many people at work, taking their children with them and then they embezzle things that are valuable to the owner in front of their Childs. Sometimes, it's the nature of a child to not adopt the act of corruption but once he/she does it, all becomes so easy for them.

So we definitely stop them at an early age by showing them the good and bad. Even if we think about it, we unintentionally do it. Like when we want to get our children to do something we give them the excuse of something like a smartphone or candy or money maybe. Is it, not a type of corruption we are teaching them unintentionally because at the start things look small and unimportant to some extent that we ignore them but when they got big (our Childs) and then things get out of hand to that extent that they will not listen to you. So we should not take our acts as a light and should teach them the basics by not doing it in front of them.

It is very sad that corruption has eaten deep into the society and world at large. There is not a government in the world where you can not see a corrupt official both elected and Services workers all do the same thing all in the name of gratification.

Like I always tell my friends, if you must fight corruption in a system then you will need to overhaul the entire system and bring in new minds and mentality totally different from the previous because once there is a mix up again, there is the tendencies that the new ones would face challenges as a result of the old making things difficult for the changes and thereby forcing them into the system. That's how corruption works.

It is not all about teaching the children, but instilling discipline in them so as to grow up with it and doing the right thing irrespective of the situation they find themselves in.

no matter what principle you are going to teach the children, it is up to you how you show them what life truly is. financiially they will teach what's the most effictive way but is that the most efficient way?

In addition to all of the aforementioned factors, I believe corruption in society can be combated at a young age.

I disagree, as strenuously as one can disagree with any sentiment.  Why?  Because all of that corruption you mentioned has been going on since the beginning of mankind, and it's part of human nature.

Corrupt practices constitutes some of the world's problem today and has show its effects in the part of slow development as those put at public offices see it for a chance to enrich themselves and change the scale of things for the rest of there generation.

Corruption is a broad thing and not something you just put to some kid and hope that they understand that, such is what it entails. Its a matter of moral standard. If you don't think a thing is right, see reasons why it's wrong and choose to stay clear of these practices that you've deemed wrong, there would be less corruption in our society.

Meanwhile, corruption doesn't reside in just politics but, in the little things we do to undermine fair practices. It's how it grows to a spegerr that is felt by neighbours far and near.
