The word 'corruption' has multifarious meanings. It means bribery, it means tax evasion, it also means favoritism. It is an immoral practice which existed in our society since times immemorial in one shape or the other. But today, it has raised its giant shaped head in every facets of life. Be it ministers or officers or even clerks, nobody is free from this evil. Social laws are manipulated; rules and regulations are overlooked just to give favour to somebody and taking money from him in return. Although, corruption is a worldwide phenomenon in India. It has become rampant. Even great men like Bacon, Hastings and Walpole had been accused of corruption. But today, the whole India system has been inflicted with it. From an officer down to a peon, everybody seems to be corrupt. Efficiency, integrity and morality have gone to the winds. They have become a thing of the past. The devil of corruption is so powerful that it has shattered our economy and destroyed all the noble values of life. Besides, it has tarnished our image in the eyes of the world. Nepotism, smuggling, hoarding, favoritism and black-money are some of the popular forms of corruption. Tax evasion, adulteration in food, drinks; medicine and other articles of daily use have become the order of the day. There is corruption in every profession. Lawyers, 'doctors and even teachers have lost their integrity and they place money above service. There are many reasons of corruption in our society. First, the poor economic position of the people is responsible for wide spread corruption. Second, there is lack of national character and moral values. Third, people have developed love for money and they want to maintain a high standard of living at all costs. So, they have no conscience to amass wealth through under hand means. They have no time to think of the national interest. The long term solution to the problem is to develop national character. Our education system needs to be overhauled. Honesty should be appreciated and rewarded publicly. Besides this, every department will have to gird up its loins. A strong vigil should be kept on one and all. No one if caught red handed should be spared. Moreover, the officials should be duly paid their salaries so that they do not feel the need of being corrupt. The country needs complete cleaning up from the corrupt officials today.

Impact of Corruption:
- The economy has been shattered: Corruption has led to a misallocation of resources, inefficiency in government spending, and a lack of trust in the system. This has resulted in a negative impact on the economy, hindering growth and development.
- Social values have been compromised: The prevalence of corruption has eroded integrity, morality, and honesty in society. People have become more focused on personal gain rather than the common good, leading to a deterioration of social values.
- Efficiency and morality have become powerless: Corruption undermines the efficiency of public institutions as decisions are often made based on personal gain rather than merit. This has weakened the moral fabric of society, with individuals prioritizing wealth over ethical conduct.
- Overall, corruption has had a detrimental impact on various aspects of life, including the economy, social values, efficiency, and morality. It has tarnished the image of the country and hindered progress. Addressing corruption requires a collective effort to promote honesty, integrity, and accountability in all sectors of society.

The US Treasury Department recently announced that it would start demanding details of the shell companies that rich foreigners use to buy real estate in Manhattan and Miami-Dade County. This is a good step that should help law enforcement agencies crack down on money laundering, tax evasion and other crimes. The program should be broadened to cover the whole country, and must be forcefully carried out.In recent years, there have been certain sections of people that have stashed billions of dollars of wealth in the United States by buying property and other costly assets. These purchases are generally made through limited liability corporations that are not required to disclose their wealthy owners or beneficiaries. While limited liability corporations have many legitimate purposes, there is no justification for allowing owners to shield their identities even from law enforcement and regulators. The secrecy is so complete that law enforcement officials say they are often unable to identify the true owners. All efforts by lawmakers have been thwarted by lobbying from the financial and real estate industries and state governments.The department currently requires mortgage lenders to know the identities of the true owners of shell companies in transactions that involve loans. Under the new policy, the departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Network will require details of limited liability companies that buy properties without loans. However, the order applies only to Manhattan and Miami-Dade County, and will be effective for only 180 days, starting in March.The department should also adopt pending regulations that would require financial firms to know who owns the limited liability companies whose accounts they manage. It is absurd that regulators would not require such basic transparency as a matter of course. The current system practically lays out the welcome mat for some foreigners hiding assets from their governments, making United States one of the worlds biggest tax havens.Supporters of the current system may argue that requiring more transparency would burden financial institutions without ending money laundering and tax evasion, since determined criminals will find ways to thwart the law. But that doesnt justify doing nothing about this hole in financial regulations.Q.Paragraph 2 talks about sections of people who have invested in various assets in the US for tax evasion. In the context of this passage, choose the group of people who are most likely to partake in this overall activity.

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage.Persons do not become a society by living in physical proximity, any more than a man ceases to be socially influenced by being so many feet or miles removed from others. A book or a letter may institute a more intimate association between human beings separated thousands of miles from each other than exists between dwellers under the same roof. Individuals do not even compose a social group because they all work for a common end. The parts of a machine work with a maximum of cooperativeness for a common result, but they do not form a community. If, however, they were all cognizant of the common end and all interested in it so that they regulated their specific activity in view of it, then they would form a community. But this would involve communication. Each would have to know what the other was about and would have to have some way of keeping the other informed as to his own purpose and progress. Consensus demands communication.We are thus compelled to recognise that within even the most social group there are many relations that are not as yet social. A large number of human relationships in any social group are still upon the machine-like plane. So far as the relations of parent and child, teacher and pupil, employer and employee, governor and governed, remain upon this level, they form no true social group, no matter how closely their respective activities touch one another. Giving and taking of orders modifies action and results, but does not of itself effect a sharing of purposes, a communication of interests.Not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication (and hence all genuine social lif e) is educative. To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience. One shares in what another has thought and felt and in so far, meagrely or amply, has his own attitude modified. Nor is the one who communicates left unaffected. The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated. To formulate requires getting outside of it, seeing it as another would see it, considering what points of contact it has with the life of another so that it may be got into such form that he can appreciate its meaning. All communication is like art. It may fairly be said, therefore, that any social arrangement that remains vitally social, or vitally shared, is educative to those who participate in it. Only when it becomes cast in a mould and runs in a routine way does it lose its educative power. In final account, then, not only does social life demand teaching and learning for its own permanence, but the very process of living together educates. It enlarges and enlightens experience; it stimulates and enriches imagination; it creates responsibility for accuracy and vividness of statement and thought. The inequality of achievement between the mature and the immature not only necessitates teaching the young, but the necessity of this teaching gives an immense stimulus to reducing experience to that order and form which will render it most easily communicable and hence most usable.Q.The author mentions that within even the most social group there are many relations that are not as yet social in order to highlight

A major telecom company recently hired a new Chief Financial Officer to take command of the company’s finances. This move came against the backdrop of national and global economic crises.The CFO is charged with the responsibility of realigning the finances of the largest Strategic Business Unit which deals with network solutions to major corporate clients in the country. In wake of the overall financial slump, many of the corporate clients have been delaying the payment of their recurring dues for the monthly network and internet services utilised. The local account managers handling those clients and their respective Regional Managers had been given the authority to maintain client relations and if necessary allow the delayed payments with a view to continue a long-term relationship with the key clients. However, the new CFO after taking stock of the situation decided to put an affirmative end to this practice. He sent a mail to every regional and local account manager asking them to discontinue services to the defaulting clients. In spite of such a strong communication, most major clients delayed the payments in the next month. As a response to this, the CFO resent his earlier mail asking for comments. In the next month, the single largest client defaulted on the payment and the regional manager promptly asked the technology company to terminate services to that client. The regional manager merely informed the client that the delay in payment was responsible for the termination of services and the service would be reconstituted on payment of the dues.The client faced severe difficulties due to discontinuation of the internet and local network services. The CEO of that company wrote a scathing email to the Chairman of the telecom company.The CEO pointed out the sudden, mishandled and improperly communicated decision and its severe impact on his company’s business. He pointed out that they were one of the largest clients of the telecom company. The CEO also hinted that his company would want to reconsider their future engagement. The Chairman decided to maintain the relations with that important client and yet protect his company’s image. He promptly restarted the network services and yet requested the client to clear the dues within a week and to avoid major delays especially in these times of crisis. The client replied to this communication, agreeing to the specified norms. However, the Chairman decided to severely reprimand the Regional Manager and suspended him for 2 weeks. He also severely questioned the CFO for his error. At the next board of directors meeting, there was support for the Chairman’s action in spite of protests by some senior directors who defended the CFO and the Regional Manager's actions.The client’s action, and the Chairman’s response to the same, display what important aspect of decision-making shown by the Chairman?
