I`m really thrilled by Prof. Nikos Passas` analysis of the Corruption problem in Greece. Kind of similar to the Ugandan problem. The solutions are well thought out and would partly work with regard to solving corruption problems in Uganda as well.
"which leads to widespread culture of tolerance...especially when corruption solves practical problems in everyday life" that is so scary. i don't think I realized that it was something that the average citizen would be desensitized to.
Nepal is much better. Come to India and look at it carefully and you will feel absolutely frustrated about it. All the higher officials steal the money of common people in any association, private or government. So much that you'll feel like renunciating everything and lead a monk life. I love the positive side of the my country, but I hate it bitterly again. I'll escape it by moving to another country. Because even if I want to change it, I know it's difficult and a waste of time. I'll leave it to God.

But in one area Corrupt Ideas are OPENLY preached Religions like Christianity & Islam claim that Heaven cannot be Earned! The only way in is for the well-connected! In Corrupt countries you think you have the best qualifications until some cheap suit walks in and tells you that yes you have the best qualifications but that is not enough, either you pay up or some higher up must pull for you Well, Religions like Christianity say the EXACT same things - Works(Qualifications) are not enough, you must have a higher up pull you up & lucky for you they have direct contact with this higher up! How many educated have spoken up against such sleazy and corrupt methods? Zero!
Corruption in various forms including Bribery is a power of individual mental and physical control, which glorifies greed. Imposed as a tool of continued colonisation, despite countries calling themselves independent. Countries which had minimal European occupation are the least corrupt and countries with years of European occupation are the most corrupt in the world! As Mahatma Gandhi said "the world has enough to satisfy everyone's needs but not enough to satisfy one greedy person"
we need, u need, they need , every one has to change him self and fight corruption by reports to web, and the result will be great country , My country is fallen in corruption by 90% , i hope we will not be the next Greece
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
Converting to a religion isn't really hurting you. Its a belief at the end of the day. Having to depend on others for the wrong reasons if you get a job is corrupt. That's a job that pays for my living.
backed up by a sponsor bank, corruption even taking place in this promotion, if u know the problem, you might be able to find the solution, but when even the info given is corrupt and incomplete you may never see the bigger picture.
This is quite a shocking presentation. Seems this person tries to blame "all others" for the Greek crises (which is the base of the Greek crises: everybody always blaming others, justifying their own clientelistic situation). If you look at the debt graph he shows: local debt grows constantly. At a certain moment that is not possible anymore and then, indeed, the foreign debt starts and start to grow spectacularly. Really: Germany is not in the same situation as Greece, but they have the same foreign banks around. So if Greek do not start with really understanding that there is a real problem it will never solve its problem. IF the Greek government had shown it would take internal problems serious, they would not have been continuously be pressured to reform, by indeed nearly being blackmailed to do so: they would just reform, even if that would hurt themselves. They do not do that, as they do not want any pain.
First half is man complaining about how this is German banks fault and not the Greek government Then for the last 3 minute as a THOUGHT LEADER on a TEDX stage he says we as a society need to come up with solutions. No man that is your job to add to the discussion
the demand for German bonds rose, as investors were looking for strong assets. The higher demand drives down the interest rate the bonds pay, so the German Treasury saved tens of billions with its bonds paying a lower interest
economic nonsense. Greece did not get into trouble with predatory lending through military spending. further, even accounting for predators, “supply driven” goverment debt is oxymoronic. the what-aboutism is just moronic. sure, the whole situation is horrible, like many places, but denial isn’t helpful anywhere.

Jesus can't save you when the priest and preachers are some of the biggest crooks in the world. The only charity they are interested in is everything being laid at their feet.

This is brilliant! My favourite parts on fighting corruption on an empty stomach and about the islands of integrity. Thanks, Dr. Passas!

People from Nepal Should watch it. I am too from NEPAL and I am watching this because I am tired of these corrupt so-called leaders.

As a Filipino I wish I could help my country overcome this :
Stronger laws means less corruption
@Shreyas P Sad ;(, seems like India’s whole governing system is corrupted?

You can fight corruption in a empty stomach.
What is the vehicle of anticorruption? Private companies willing to become islands of integrity?
Too relevant to Nigeria, even today. Great job.

I would love a personal driver. However.... F*** corruption! 😄👍🏽
Being corrupted is one meme or lie away... nowadays
What about big tech being being corruption?
Whoever fights corruptiin is considerd a criminal
Why did the banks rates of the german banks when down after the crisis?? I didnt get that part
the demand for German bonds rose, as investors were looking for strong assets. The higher demand drives down the interest rate the bonds pay, so the German Treasury saved tens of billions with its bonds paying a lower interest
the crisis created higher demand for German bonds, so the interest rate the German Treasury had to pay went down
Fight corruption in the world
