Topic:What are the major forms of bribery? Is Bribery an Inevitable Evil?
Bribery can be classified into three broad categories.
The first category consists of large amounts of money paid for political purposes or to secure major contracts. For example, a certain American-company offered big sums of money to support a U. S. presidential candidate when it was under investigation.
The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project. In such cases, the money is often paid to key government officials concerned.
The third category involves payments made in certain countries to make a business deal easy to get approved. For instance, a foreign company may pay to get permission to import equipment.
