Corruption is a big problem in our world, so how can we remove corruption?

If we knew how to stop corruption, there would surely be
less of it in the world.  We do not know for sure how to end corruption in all
places.

One way to end corruption is to give better
salaries to those who tend to take bribes.  For example, if civil servants had better
salaries (particularly in developing countries) they might not feel like they need to
take bribes from those who come in to get licenses or other such things.  Here in the
US, civil servants get decent pay and are less likely to be corrupt than in many
developing countries.

It is also important to reduce the
culture of corruption.  In many developing countries, even those who have no real need
take things for themselves.  We can see this in the cases of people like Qadaffi in
Libya whose family had so much ill-gotten wealth.  When there is such a culture, of
course the "lower" people will want to take advantage of their
positions.

Of course, neither of these is easy to do, which
is one reason why corruption continues to flourish.
