Power of corruption | Lucy Koechlin | TEDxHSG

"Corruption" evokes many a powerful idea - and it affects the little things in life in myriad ways. What is the power of corruption? Can little things change it? Or does it take a powerful idea to fight corruption? In a quest to explore the power of big and small ideas Lucy will take you on a whirlwind tour of clean villages in Europe and dirty cities in Africa - and end up with an appeal to the power of the little things in life.
Lucy Koechlin is Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Social Anthropology, University of Basel, Switzerland. She teaches a wide range of courses in development studies, and is a leading expert on governance and anti-corruption. She also worked for various international organizations notably as a vice president of Transparency International Switzerland.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    What is amazing is that religions use the same corrupt tactics and even the brightest are totally blind to their tactics! In Corrupt countries the best resume does not get you the job, the best product does not get you the contract - wait buddy, you have to go thru us - either you pay or must have the right connections to get what you want Religions say the same thing - you could be the greatest person in the world - a Gandhiji, a Buddha but wait buddy, you have to go thru us - only our God can get you Heaven, so first you must convert Works do not matter - all you have done in your life does not matter The only thing that matters is religion Just like the Corrupt people rig the system, religions also use the lure of Heaven to push conversions Corrupt religions dominate the world! They dominate because the moral, ethical, educated seem totally brainwashed by religion

    Sad reality is that many who got where they are through nepotism/ corruption would likely agree that nepotism / corruption is a bad thing. Think about that and it all really seems so helpless, right? The scariest are those who embrace corruption and feed on the naitivity of the masses.

    The thing is that they had two choices in order to gain power. They could either choose to become corrupt, or they could choose to stay true to themselves and everyone around them. In this case, they chose the wrong choice. It doesn't seem so helpless when you have multiple choices, does it?

    My take: -a corrupt public official, is proud to be corrupt. -currption is the first power of governance in Society, the judicial, executive and last legislative -corruption at customs, allows imported goods to be cheaper for the public to buy -
