Both the giver and taker of a bribe are wrong. The giver is offering something in exchange for an unfair advantage, while the taker is accepting a bribe to act in a way that goes against ethical or legal standards. Bribery undermines trust, fairness, and justice in society.

Does the media corrupts the minds of the youth today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some argue that the media can have a negative influence on young people by promoting unrealistic body standards, glamorizing violence, and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. However, not all media is negative, and it can also provide valuable information, entertainment, and opportunities for self-expression. It is important for young people to be critical consumers of media and for adults to support media literacy education.

Who is corrupt in Hamlet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He isn't. Oh, he is not innocent, since he did in fact murder his brother in order to steal away his wife. But his administration is not corrupt, at least at the start of the play. He deals with the threat of Fortinbras efficiently and prudently; everybody seems to be happy with the job he is doing as king. Everyone except Hamlet, of course.

Hamlet hates Claudius, even before he meets the ghost. Whether it's because he expected to succeed his father as king, or he has the usual feeling of a stepchild to a step parent or both, nothing Claudius does can be right in Hamlet's eyes. When Claudius maintains the honoured custom of Denmark, Hamlet sneers "'tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance."

In many productions, the director creates a Claudius who is just how Hamlet imagines him to be--licentious and alcoholic. Sometimes, though, the director shows that Hamlet is unbalanced, and can even go to the length of implying that what the ghost says to Hamlet is in fact what Hamlet hopes the ghost will say by having the actor playing Hamlet also voice the Ghost.

However on the face of the play itself, there is no particular reason to think that Claudius is a corrupt king until Hamlet sets the kingdom on its ear by killing Claudius's chief counsellor and causing disturbances at theatrical performances. The problem of dealing with Hamlet, both for his own safety and the safety of the kingdom, increasingly occupies Claudius's thoughts as the play proceeds. In Kenneth Branagh's film of the play, he has Fortinbras leading a full-blown invasion of Denmark, which the whole royal court is too distracted to even notice until it is too late.

One of the factors in Shakespeare's mind was likely the question of succession to the throne. As Queen Elizabeth had no children, many people became worried as she neared death about whether she would be succeeded in an orderly way. During her lifetime she had been threatened by those who wanted to replace her with Mary Queen of Scots, and her sister had been threatened by the pretender Lady Jane Grey. To the Elizabethan mind, the proper person to succeed Hamlet Sr. would be Hamlet, and Claudius was an usurper. Part of the theme of the play (as in other Shakespeare plays such as Macbeth, the eight plays in the War of the Roses cycle, and Julius Caesar) is that to disturb the passage of power to the heir is to cause an unstable political situation. In this sense the adminsistration of Claudius might have been seen to be corrupt just because he was the king's brother, not his son.

How do you get the media interested in a story of a corrupt family court judge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, gather what evidence you have and organise it so that when questions are asked of you, you can answer them quickly. If you know other people who can confirm what you allege, ensure they write down what they know. Having done this, start looking for an investigative journalist. Look at your local newspapers and see which journalist's names are attached to stories like the one you want to tell. Pick one that you think may be interested in your story and then write to him or her. Writing has much more impact than telephoning or sending an email. Give them enough information but do not be overly dramatic. No journalist likes a drama queen. Above all, be honest. Do not try to manipulate the journalist, as we hate being manipulated! Good luck.

Why is government so corrupt in canada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We like to think our corruption isn't too bad but trying to address it does show why is is as bad as it is. Our system lacks accountability and transparency. Even when we know there is corruption we are unable to address it.

A good example was our Long Gun Registry. This was a data base with approximately 8 million entries, or long guns. The information for the data base was required by law to be supplied by the owners of the long guns and kept updated by those owners. Just about the easiest way to build a data base. If I contracted someone to build a similar data base it would cost maybe $2 million and that was the original estimate. Even with cost over runs $10 Million would be high.

It cost us Billions of dollars. We know it is impossible to spend that kind of money on such a program without corruption, theft and fraud yet all we get is assurances that all the money is "accounted" for and we got good value for our money.

Corruption can only exist when there is no accountability and a lack of transparency. Systems that do not require the government to account for the money it is spending and let people see where the money, right down to the dollar, is going are going to be corrupt.
