Corruption will take a long time to overcome
Corrupt practices are so entrenched in some societies that it will take generations to overcome the issue. And corruption is only the tip of the iceberg. Fairness is a whole new story. Nepotism is the norm in many countries (e.g. Mexico) whereas in others (United Kingdom) it is actually illegal (in the context of job applicants).
It will take decades to fix the global corruption issue - but fix it we must.
