    You were never taught that corruption is bad? I was. I was also told not to lie, cheat, steal, harm others, etc. I think most people were, and yet we still have crime. D.A.R.E. told entire generations of kids that drugs are bad, and yet people still use drugs.

    How do you prevent people from promoting corruption and making role models of the corrupt? That requires some method of enforcement, otherwise you might as well be wishing on a star.

      I personally don’t recall being taught about corruption specifically. I was teach about being a good boy in elementary school but after that i don’t recall any class about how to be kind and good.

      and yet people still use drugs.

      People are taught that drugs are bad but not much is explained about the underlying problems that make people do drugs, such as trying to cope with high competitive standards since childhood.

      We live in a corrupted society, i think the starting point would be to fix education (which is already “enforced”) in such a way that it doesn’t promote corruption of any sort
