Corruption does not happen because of the four pillars concept but because of the people itself. Corruption is an act of misused position in order to enrich themselves, or groups. Corruption at state government level is very detrimental because it would increase poverty level of a country. In addition, the country would experience a big material loss. Corruption is advantageous for oneself, but have a negative impact on the public and the state (Musdaliva, 2015). For example, there’s a case in Kutai Kartanegara, a bridge collapsed. There’s a lot of cases that happened because of wrecked public facilities. It takes a lot of victims. And it all happened because of corruption. It’s not a secret anymore that this kind of thing happened because of corruption. The government may give out a lot of expenses to advancing public facilities. But it’s not reached into the right hand. The money flow through a lot of government officials and then, the money got trim here and there. In the end, the money that should be used for the advancement of public facilities become lesser and it makes the public facilities qualities become bad. In the process, the workers that work to build this public facility also suffered from the minimum standard of safety, minimum payment and health protection (Musdaliva,

    Indonesia has experienced the melting of cultures for thousands of years since it is along important trading routes between the Middle East and Far East Asia. Every culture that has interacted with the Indonesian groups has left a mark on their culture, producing a mix of cultural norms, ideas, and religions. One factor that has allowed so many distinct groups to maintain their cultures in the fact that these cultures developed and grew on islands, which cuts down the amount of interaction that a culture has with others.

Also, because the cultural groups think of themselves with a local identity over a national identity this allows the groups to hold on to their customs and beliefs more…

The primary difference between individual corruption and institutional corruption is that institutional corruption does not necessarily “involve quid pro quo exchanges” as individual corruption requires (Satz, 2013, p. 997). Also, it cannot be obtained in a single incident like individual corruption can. An act that otherwise may be completely harmless but over time and when adopted as a widespread practice tends to demoralize the objectives and purposes of the institution is the central cause of institutional corruption (Satz, 2013).…
