Around the world, the perception and reality of corruption and bad governance in public places remains very high. But it isn’t just in governments that these are found; they can permeate through society, where they are rampant in private enterprises and even religious institutions. We need to deal with the causes, not just consequences. You will need to play your role, both as a good example as well as part of the social police force. Cultures and beliefs must change at a personal level as well as at institutional levels.Archibald Marwizi
About This Quote

Your role will be to play your part in changing the social structure of your country. You will need to take a revolutionary approach and start by taking a clear look at your society and culture and then start to dismantle and rebuild it.
