Nepotism and favoritism are also forms of corruption because the terms of participation and inclusion are not transparent. Not everyone is given an equal opportunity to participate.
Explanation:
Corruption is a serious problem the world over as it divests many national governments and political systems of valuable resources as funds and state resources are diverted to personal interests and personal gain. One example of corruption that is highly prevalent is nepotism -- political figures and other persons of power will use their influence in order to find positions of influence for their friends and family that are generally well renumerated and/or allow the person to grow their sphere of influence and to tilt the balance of decision making on government spending and allocating resources in their favor. This is also unjust and unfair in that other qualified individuals, who are also generally more qualified for positions are not considered because they do not have the same family and professional connections.
