During our class discussions pertaining to ethics and morality, I kept asking you questions about graft, bribery and ethical conduct in your countries and cultures. Some of you said that bribery is quite common in underdeveloped countries because officials are underpaid. I gave you examples of Guanxi in China, Bustarella in Italy and Reshveh in Iran, etc.

For instance, there are countries in which giving a gift or money to bureaucrats or police officers are accepted with one closed eye. In other countries, including Canada, you may end up in prison. However, in many countries, if you want to win a business contract, you are required to bribe an official.

Using APA with reference. Each student should write between 400-600 words justifying or debunking the idea of whether the money paid constitutes a bribe or gift! Upload your findings with citation into Turnitin. Do NOT copy any phrase, sentence or paragraph without proper citation or giving credit to the authors!

The paper should start with an intro followed by a main/body and conclusion.
