Corruption
Corruption is a multi-faceted term these days. Corruption may be committed in two ways --corruption above the table and corruption under the table. Mahathir Mohammad once said the former can be checked through the rules or laws but the latter cannot be rooted out through the mundane rules, it is related with the moral values and norms. Corruption is a practice which deviates from the accepted norms. It is prevalent in every society from primordial times. In the eighteenth century the level of corruption in America and the UK was less in comparison with the later centuries.
Corruption is virtually the result of the ignorance or the failure of political institutionalisation.
