Meaning
Corruption refers to the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, often manifesting in various forms such as bribery, embezzlement, and nepotism, which undermine ethical standards and institutional integrity within both public and private sectors.
💡 While often associated with government and political contexts, corruption can also occur in corporate environments and non-profit organizations; it is important to distinguish between different types and scales of corruption to accurately address issues.
