Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts everyone whose life, livelihood or happiness depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority." Corruption involves more than just accepting bribes. Corrupt public officials sometimes appropriate goods, take advantage of services to which they are not entitled or even steal funds outright. They may also use their position to favor their friends and relatives unfairly. Sadly corruption is a pervasive reality. It can exist in any human organization, but it seems that corruption in government is the worst. Government corruption has deep roots. It is clear that no region of the world is immune to the perils of corruption- Transparency International. The former US deputy secretary of state said: " We all recognize that the cost of bribery is high. Bribes undermine good governance, harm economic efficiency and development, distort trade, and penalize citizens around the world." Bribes for winning business contracts in other countries are just the tip of the iceberg. Governments are funded by their citizens, most often through taxes and duties. This flow of money tempts some officials to steal, while others accept bribes from individuals who want them to reduce their taxes or other payments due the government. This is often just a vicious cycle that in turn fosters more corruption. Often corruption comes in the form of kickbacks, money paid to speed up the payment process for services rendered to government authorities.

What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?
The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."
