Discuss possible consequences that corruption may have on a person's career ​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

It can be disastrous or beneficial

Explanation:

If we look at a country such as China we can see how this works.

After Mao's death economic reforms were put in place to transform and modernize the Chinese economy. However parallel political reforms were not introduced.

This meant that the Chinese political elite, those in senior positions in the communist party, controlled the transformation of an economy where at the time, 1 in 5 of the world's population lived.

This gave them the potential, through corrupt practices, to amass vast fortunes. In this way corruption was extremely beneficial both financially and in gaining promotion through being part of a corrupt system.

However set against this was the periodic need, by the Chinese Communist party to be seen to be tackling this problem. If you happened to be an official caught up in such anti-corruption waves then it could mean stripped of all assets, imprisonment or even execution.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

- Back stage.

Explanation:

As per the given description, Amanda would be considered in the 'backstage' as per Erving Goffman, the famous social psychologist.
