Effects on People participating in Corruption

Two weeks ago, we started a mini-series on integrity. The motivation behind pushing for education on integrity came after I was invited to facilitate an integrity workshop at UB.

But, when I speak to people participating in corrupt practices they usually honestly don’t care about the effect their greed has on others as long as it lines their pocket. They generally ignore the blatant facts and statistics of the horrific effects of corruption and simply say “who does it hurt if I get a little more money? People are just jealous!”
