Corruption


On my researchs, I found a map with different levels of corruption, each level had its own color, green was the lowest, and red was the highest. It's sad to see that 6, maybe more countries, are in green. The others are in different levels, but our country, imagine in what level is: red.

I came to realize that the people that claims to serve and protect the people of a community, are the ones that succumb to tentations that go against the laws, leaving our pilitical system in doubt and affecting the very same people that elected them to be in power. Where are the values in this kind of situation? There's a lack of responsability in their charge and their obligations, they should be working and trying to improve the situation of the cmmunity in which they work, that's why they were elected for, but some are just there for the power and the benefits, so they have no problem to accept something that's not approved by the legal system and make it confidential and secret. Of course in our world, there's good and bad people, but unless we know everything about someone, we can't know in what team they play. We have to trust in them. So I think it's unfair, they're not just giving their backs on people just for their own benefits, they betraying the people who wanted them to be there, those who were in their side. We are all humans, we can make mistakes, but if you have that kind of power, at least you could try to do the honorable thing, the one that is better for the people they're supposed to help. So we have to analyze the people who are willing to obtain power, and which are their intentions really.
