It's a new lens for seeing it.** Most people see corruption as a simple bribe or a scandal. But it's much more. CorruptipediA is developing a broader definition of Corruption and building a living map to reveal how different forms of corruption—political corruption, corporate corruption, and social corruption — connect to and reinforce each other. See the system. Understand the problem. # We present a **[[Theory|Corruption Theory]]** consisting of 4 phases of Corruption: **[[1.0) DECEPTION]]** **[[2.0) DIVISION]]** **[[3.0) EXPLOITATION]]** **and** **[[4.0) VIOLENCE]]** ![[Corruption Map1.jpg]] # Corruption Theory <span style='font-size:1.0em; color:rgb(0, 112, 192)'> </span> **Some values strengthen our societies and are undeniably GOOD**, — values like: <span style='font-size:1.2em; color:rgb(0, 112, 192)'> **TRUTH, TRANSPARENCY, JUSTICE, UNITY, BENEVOLENCE, and PEACE**.</span> <span style='font-size:1.0em; color:rgb(0, 112, 192)'>They build trust, foster cooperation, and create a foundation for collective progress.</span> <p></p> <p> </p> **And their polar opposites corrode our societies from within**; — these are the forces of **CORRUPTION:** <span style='font-size:1.2em; color:rgb(0, 112, 192)'>**DECEPTION, DIVISION, INJUSTICE, EXPLOITATION, and VIOLENCE**. </span> <span style='font-size:1.0em; color:rgb(0, 112, 192)'>Where these take root, trust erodes, divisions deepen, and the fabric of society weakens. <p><br></p></span> <p></p> Let's dive into more detail... ![[Theory|no-title|]] --- "Exposing Corruption and holding the Corrupt to account can only happen if we understand the way Corruption works and the systems that enable it." (["Transparency International"](https://www.transparency.org/en/what-is-corruption)) This knowledge base is a tool to help the public identify and expose the sources and propagators of corruption in their local communities, so that they will be removed.
