Corruption can happen anywhere as it is naturally part of human need and greed. Those locations that have less corruption are often higher economic and social functioning when compared to those who have more corruption. Since resources are scarce and should be used for the best interests of society, corruption robs many people of resources they need to succeed. Similar mechanisms that related to the selfishness of corruption also comingled with other poor beliefs like hate came forward in our philosophical learning example.
We are using a hypothetical thought experiment on corruption and comingling with hate to explore how closed systems can function and how they impact others. Up until the community stood up to protect resources and victims the behaviors were unimpeded and well known. What typically exposes poor actors is when outside pressure, mistakes by corrupt officials, overplaying power dynamics, lost resources discovered, or a history of prior bad decisions arise. Often, it’s the small things that open a bigger can of worms.
In our example, there was well known protections for poor actors and someone misusing their employment and social position led to misbehaviors against others, putting kids in harm’s way and helped to enrich themselves and fellow clan members. The coordinated aggression often seen in group corruption opened exposure of a wider poor behaviors. Official reports were retaliated against, and it was found later that these reports were relatively accurate.

In our learning example, the victims intentionally have no recourse due to extreme hate and closed clan-based systems with few checks and balances putting people at future risk. A hyper focused on gaming technicalities while ignoring the purpose of laws. Questions arose as to essential purpose and mechanisms for ensuring that the wrongs are righted, future victims are protected and that the system adapts to a higher state of development.
