Corruption is spreading as popular culture across the globe - What is your opinion to prevent this? By Jacqline Wolf Tice · East Stroudsburg University It is a complex question. Corruption exists because, on some level, it is incentivized. Therefore, society must reshape its normalized rewarding of corruption. The reward seems to be both economic and social. Money and power. Money is just a tool without power. Power is impotent without money. But, together, they are too hot to handle and breed corruption. Corruption is always about having more, not less. So, you are asking a question of human nature: can one manage money and power without losing impulse control over the intoxicating potential of over-consumption/greed/corruption? No one is hiding anywhere anymore. Heterogeneity is standardized by Facebook on a sociological level and by the World Bank on an economic level. Both are just part of the evolution of our world, but as you said, popular culture has a love affair with corruption. Its easy to suggest unplugging your TV and defecting from Facebook, but even the Guardian is not immune to trolling commentary, which is its own form of corruption. I am concerned about the culture of criticism that permeates popular culture and its effect upon ethical perception. Roberta Richin, along with others, write about preventing adolescent bullying through character training. Their method involves an acronym I find helpful: R.I.C.E.: Respect, Impulse Control, Compassion, Equity.
