Corruption - A worldwide problem (Part 2) I wrote about corruption in Brazil in the preceding notebook. Brazil is a beautiful country and it has amazing landscapes. However, corruption is not just defect or imperfection. It´s a huge and deep problem of morality. Of course, corruption is not a exclusive problem of Brazil. " The extent of the problem is breathtaking (in Europe), according to European Commission Home Affairs Commissioner Ceccilia Malmström. Corruption threatens the legitimacy quality of government and the public's faith therein.The government raises taxes to make up for their losses and this in turn fosters more corruption and that's taking place in Brazil.
