Abstract
The goal of our study is to investigate the multifaceted impacts of corruption on society, focusing on how it erodes trust, weakens democratic processes, hampers economic development, and exacerbates social issues. Specifically, we aim to understand the mechanisms through which corruption deteriorates institutional and social trust, undermines governance and electoral fairness, distorts economic markets and public resource allocation, and intensifies social inequalities and environmental degradation. Corruption profoundly undermines society by eroding trust, weakening democracy, hampering economic development, and exacerbating social issues. When corruption is rampant, trust in institutions and social relationships deteriorates, fostering a cynical and suspicious society. Democratic processes suffer as corruption undermines fairness and discredits governance, leading to voter disillusionment. Economically, corruption distorts markets, increases costs, and siphons public resources, hindering growth and development. Socially, corruption exacerbates inequality, entrenches poverty, fuels social divisions, and contributes to environmental degradation by promoting lax regulatory enforcement and policy manipulation.
