Abstract

Corruption has been a subject to social construction and reconstruction for a long time. The social dimension of corruption means that this is a phenomenon whose meaning, positive or negative values are determined by people. Corruption changes, since it was already a subject to changes in the past. Therefore, if we currently believe that negative effects of corruption is something right and promotes the stability of society, then it is not enough to refer to research, analyses or descriptions of the phenomenon. Even if in certain situations society is forced to offer bribes, lead anti-corruption policy or take specific actions, we have to make moral choices all the time and prove to ourselves that this activity is undesirable, especially in the developed countries. The aim of this article is to analyze and assess the issue of corruption, including topics such as: emergence of corruption, effects of corruption, reducing the level of corruption, Poland against the background of corruption and the correlative analysis of corruption in the world.
