Corruption

    Eigen speaks mostly about Africa, can you think of some examples in Latin America where corruption may be leading to bad social results?

-Peru. Over the years, we’ve had many problems with corruption that affect the peace of our society, it has always been present and it has always affected our way of life. Other examples are pretty much all of Latin America, since many countries have problems with it.

     Why do Northern countries think that bribery is ok in the developing world?   What is the impact on the relationship between the producer companies and developing world in this scheme?

-      - Because it is something that happens all the time, everywhere in the world. People use bribery to get what they want and they get bribed to by others because they want the money to get what they need/want. The impact it has in this relationship is quite complex

      What does Eigan mean when he refers to “Soft Power” and “Civil Society”? 

-Soft Power, a power someone or something has but that is not strong or extreme. A power that you have over someone softly, not forcing people to do what you want, just slowly convincing them.
 Civil society would probably be the piece of society that still has their values and thinks about what is going on and wants to stop it because there is a need to and because it goes against their morals.
Civil society: Civils.People that don't work for the governent.

      What presidential election will you first be eligible to vote in?

-The one after the next one, 2019.

      How important is the issue of corruption to you?

-Very important. This affects the society and the way it works. It makes our society ugly. If we have a corrupt society, then people lose what they shouldn't and people gain what they shouldn't and our society simply turns unfair.

    What are you prepared to do about it?

-There’s not really much I can do about it. But I could try not to fall into it and teach the people around me about it, so they can avoid it.
