The cases related to corruption never stop in our country. As the corruption becomes widespread cases, from the government officials to businessmen, it is very urgent for us to protect our society from this action.
Regarding to acute corruption phenomena, Thomas Lickona (1992) states corruption becomes the hardest demoralizing of the society. This is because corruption doesn’t only destroy the individuals, but more than that, it creates problem towards the social life and norm. It infringes the law.
This demoralizing will cause long term effects toward the vanishing of our character as society. One thing that can uphold the problem is by re-moralizing the society through a good education system. This is to create new (better) character of our society.
As we know, education is to give society a diverse point of view toward life. It is a tool to create educated people. We have to protect our youth with good education.
Instead of squealing with the case of corruption, the government should prioritize education as a media to bear new society, who can do something properly, in the best way. This will shape the people mind about whether corruption is good or not. Moreover, it is expected that the education should not only give the perspective about the concept of true or false. This emphasizes on introducing the habits of how to do something good.
When having good habitual activities is as the characters of the society, the society always respect the others’ rights. The demoralizing as like caused by corruption will not exist because the corruption is something that the youth don’t want to do. This is the new character of our society: educated and respectful people.
corruption will never stop as long as generations of people were still victorious
