Corruption in Politics & Public in general

Many times we hear from people, media, socialites that politics in general today has been criminalized with corruption and for many problems politians are responsible, but I do have one view point here that we must remember that whether it is doctor, lawyer, sportsman, and similarly with politician, they all come from the society and one has to ask question as to whether public in general is honest or not and the answer is no. Everyone is involved in corruption directly or indirectly, willing or unwillingly and they all will have justification for it, so the real difference between politician and public is just scale. A common person gives bride to get his licence and so in general speaking it doesnt affect larger audience whereas if a politician assigns a big project to a company that actually should not have got that contract affects lot of people. I have over the years seen nobody wants their brother, sister, father, wife, or friend to be honest and truthful, in fact it is discouraged at every single stage and so eventually by the time child grows up and become elder, he/she is already got used to corruption and he/she doesnt find it really wrong with justification that for small things it is okay...so if we want clean politics, then i m afraid we will all have to start becoming honest ourselves and avoid getting into corruption for small gains or to save small amount of time.

Nature and its unchecked destroyal

I feel in recent times the man has taken the nature for granted for so-called development of the mankind. Particularly in developing countries due to nonadherence of environmental laws and corruption, we are doing so much damage to the nature that i am afraid may not be reversible. It is said that progress is a irreversible process and even if we dont do more progress, which as anybody can imagine is not even a distant possibility, even to sustain the present scenario we would have to do significant damage to the nature and thereby will have to bear the consequences of the same. I would like to know you people's thoughts
