The Importance of Tackling Corruption.

Every choice we make today leans to a particular outcome. When we make choices between stark contrasts such as supporting corruption or in alternative supporting justice (some gradation in between) we always want to ensure that we are doing so in the best interests of society. That can be a complex question. It becomes increasingly complex based on who wants what.

There are times and places in history where protecting corruption was more important than justice. Some of these stories become horrendous displays of self interest. These incidents of the past do not need to be the future. Every time we are faced with an important junction in decision making we should walk toward the greater versus the lower.

Greater need of society, greater need of trust, greater need of safety & security, greater need institutional focus, great trust between consumers and business, greater means toward something better. There will be those who are afraid of that which is greater and so decide to move in the opposite direction. We always want to encourage them to be better through thoughtful self reflection. 

What we do well on we should encourage and what we do poorly on we should learn from, fix, and adjust to support our long term goals. Learning organizations can see where mistakes were made and they can correct those in the best interest of society. They develop and they adapt to their environment. The very process makes such systems more functional. 

Sounds simple to me, but may not be so simple for others. I encourage the youth to stand by their values because choices have an impact on society. To build the best systems, means we need to be thoughtful and in alignment with our most cherished values.  Be faithful in word and deed to the something more important. Believe that small actions can amount to cleaning up corruption when it occurs (Its not just in theory. Integrity is important.)

I personally find the next generation more moral when compared to our own generation. The Moral Delusion of Decline 23'

Its not my place to judge specific situations but it is everyone's place to encourage a greater pro social and moral stance when needed so as to enhance the possibilities for a brighter tomorrow. The youth are the inheritors of our choices. I believe in giving them the best start we can. That means correcting any deficiencies as well as praise what is good. A balanced approach focused on solutions through basic moral values.
