BLOG 6: "Social Issue"

One of the more important social issue for me is political corruption because is the basement for another issue. If politicians did their job well, fighting for social causes, many problems would not exist, but money always wins.

Politic corruption is based on the governors making decisions benefiting private companies or people with a lot of economic power.

It can affect the health, economy, politics, education, and even the culture of a country, generating benefits for a certain part of the population. Currently, the greatest corruption is concentrated in countries of Africa, South America and Asia.

In Chile things are not the best, we can see political corruption in emblematic cases such as “Pinocheques”, “Caso Penta”, Caso MOP-GATE”, “Pacogate”, “Milicogate”, and laws benefiting fisheries and foresters.

At this moment you may be wondering why political corruption is a social problem but is very easy to see the answer, in addition to not seeing the social benefit, the people chosen by the citizens seem to be governing only a sector of the population, forgetting the real ones problems and not creating laws to protect those most in need, it even makes one wonder if some social problems benefit certain people with greater power.

I hope that in the future corruption is punished with jail and things really start to change in the country.
