Class progress
Teacher. Hello, dear guys!Today in class we will talk about corruption. To do this, first, we will listen to a parable called “The Diligent Woodcutter.” A diligent woodcutter honestly collected firewood, he was paid well and praised for his hard work. Only one thing was hidden from him: the brushwood went to the fires of the Inquisition, where people were burned.
What is the parable about? It says that a person must always comprehend his actions, foresee their consequences, know what will happen as a result - good or evil. Today in class we will talk to you about how such evil committed by people leads to the degradation of our society. The name of this evil is corruption.. (slides 1, 2)

Depending on the field of activity, corruption manifests itself in the following forms:(slide 6)
Household corruption is generated by the interaction of ordinary citizens and officials. It includes various gifts from citizens and services to the official and his family members. Business corruption arises from the interaction between government and business. For example, in the case of a business dispute, the parties may seek to enlist the support of a judge in order to make a decision in their favor.Corruption of the supreme powerrefers to political leadership and supreme courts in democratic systems. It concerns groups in power whose unscrupulous behavior consists of implementing policies in their own interests and to the detriment of the interests of voters.
Causes of corruption:(slide 7)
Low wages for civil servants
Ignorance of laws
Desire for easy money
Frequent turnover of persons in various positions
Instability in the country
Corruption as a habit
Low standard of living of the population
Poor development of government institutions
Unemployment
Underdevelopment of civil society institutions
Let's try to figure out together whether there is such a thing as corruption in our society? How does she threaten you? How can you fight corruption?
Indeed, corruption is one of the most serious problems of our society, which requires an immediate solution. I am glad that the fight against corruption has begun very seriously. Back in 2003, the UN Convention against Corruption was adopted, and now every year on December 9 we celebrateInternational Day Against corruption. “A lot depends on your “no””...(slide 8)
Despite the measures taken, corruption is an inevitable consequence of excessive administration on the part of the state and continues to seriously hamper the normal functioning of all social mechanisms, impede the implementation of social reforms and increase the efficiency of the national economy. Corruption causes serious anxiety and distrust in state institutions in Russian society, creates a negative image of Russia in the international arena and is rightfully considered as one of the threats to the security of the Russian Federation.And it is the youth who must become the fighter against this disease.
Training (independent work of students)
The class is divided into pairs.(slide 9)
Each team is givenindividual task: Play out three situations and act out skits, observing all the knowledge acquired on anti-corruption policy.
Situation I: An institute teacher fails you in an exam for the third time. With all his appearance (and maybe directly) he makes it clear that you need to pay. Your actions.
Situation II: You, a managerial employee, are offered money in exchange for a certain service that does not comply with the law. Your actions.
Situation III: You urgently need a foreign passport to relax on a hot package. And you can get it only in a month. Your actions.
Time is given to prepare. Each couple plays out their own situation. Students discuss what mistakes they noticed in other team members. And what was the right thing to do under the proposed conditions.
Task: (slides 10-13)
Solve the puzzleswithin 3 minutes, explain the concepts.

"What folk wisdom says:"(slide 14)
Exercise: Remember what proverbs and sayings reflect corruption in modern society?
Examples:
- “If you don’t help, you won’t go” - extortion, bribery.
- “Hand washes hand” is a group planned activity in bribery.
- “Rake in the heat with the wrong hands” - unconscious complicity in fraud and scams.
- “The eye sees, but the tooth is not honey” - the ineffectiveness of anti-corruption efforts.
Task: (slides 15,16)
Summing up and rewarding teams.(slide 17)
Conclusion: Corruption is an obstacle to economic growth and development and jeopardizes any transformation. Any person with any kind of power can be subject to corruption: officials, judges, administrators, deputies, examiners, doctors, etc. All of them are driven by one incentive - to gain economic profit. But at the same time they run the risk of exposure and punishment. How should we combat fraud, bribery, extortion, and bribes in modern society? First of all, you need to start with yourself and demand the elimination of corruption from others. The effectiveness of the struggle depends on the interaction of all branches of government, their responsibility for the process of improving society. It is necessary to quickly respond to all types of corruption offenses and give fair punishments. Then, in the eyes of others, authority, faith and respect for the structures of power will increase, and society will realize the need to fight corruption.
Thus, all the necessary legal, economic and political prerequisites are created for a full and effective fight against corruption and the causes that give rise to it.
What can I do?
Corruption will not go away until we make it go away. Do the right thing:
- do not give or take bribes;
- strive to achieve desired results based on personal integrity;
- publicize cases of corruption.
- You also can:
- change the existing system and create laws that would protect active citizens who oppose corruption;
- write about cases of corruption known to you in local newspapers;
- take part in numerous campaigns and actions to combat corruption carried out around the world.
- Study this phenomenon
- Get acquainted with anti-corruption measures and methods of combating corruption.
Guys, if each of us does not give bribes or use our official position, then we will be able to win the fight against corruption .
I believe that our country has a great future, it will be able to survive all difficulties and become even more beautiful.
And you will help Russia with this!
As you can see, corruption is strong, but it can be fought. If you fight back against corrupt officials and bribe-takers, the octopus will remain without its tentacles.Soon you will become adults, you will have to solve many questions that life poses to us. Try to find the right solution in any situation without circumventing the law.

Teacher's opening speech.
At the initiative of the UN, December 9 is celebrated as International Anti-Corruption Day. On this day in 2003, the UN Convention against Corruption was opened for signature at the High-Level Political Conference in Merida, Mexico. The document obliges the signatory states to criminalize bribery, theft of budget funds and laundering of corruption proceeds. Russia was among the first countries to sign the Convention.
Our class hour is devoted to a topic that is often discussed. It cannot be otherwise, because it affects the interests of every person. But it is very important that everyone understands what corruption is, what harm it causes and how it can be fought.
What does the word corruption mean?
Student answers :
This is “the bribery and corruption of government officials, officials, as well as public and political figures in general”;
This is an abuse of one's power, work or professional position;
This is illegal enrichment, bribery, theft;
Teacher: Guys, you gave the correct interpretation of this word. In the modern concept, corruption also means the use of power for personal gain. Corruption acts as a complex social phenomenon that originated in ancient times and continues to exist today.
Unfortunately, corruption exists in almost all spheres of society and manifests itself in a wide variety of forms and types.
We will now look at some forms of corruption:
Appreciation, gratitude;
The usual fee for a service, for work;
Abuse of official position;
Corrupt practices;
Bribe;
Corruption.
Showing skits rehearsed in advance by students:
The driver gave money to the traffic police officer. The employee did not demand to be paid, but did not refuse the money.
The official helped the company conclude a lucrative contract. The company paid the official a certain percentage for his assistance.
A large company agreed with the deputy that he would vote in a way that was beneficial to the company. For this he is paid a reward or provided with services.
The patient gives the doctor a gift for attentive attitude and service out of turn. The doctor does not refuse the gift.
The head of the passport office, having received the money, greatly speeds up the registration of the visitor.
The city's chief architect gives permission to a private firm to build a building that greatly degrades the surrounding landscape.
Analysis of the scenes shown.
Teacher: Very often we assign the names of bribe takers only to officials. But the problem of corruption cannot be reduced to them. The people who offer money are just as corrupt.
Sociologists conducted a survey of the population about bribes. As a result, it turned out that the readiness to solve their problems by giving a bribe still remains quite high - this was said by 61.3% of respondents. However, not all people who find themselves in a corrupt situation resolve their issues by paying a bribe. Research shows that about 30% of citizens do not pay bribes on principle. Is the issue resolved after citizens refuse to give a bribe? In most cases, even after refusing to give a bribe, the issues are resolved. Of course, this will require more effort and time, or the issue will not be resolved on the first try. However, 32% of respondents responded that after refusing to pay a bribe, they managed to solve their problems, and 41.6% solved their problems partially or in a longer period. There are no situations that cannot be resolved with the help of law.
Teacher: Guys, what conclusions can be drawn by analyzing the data from a sociological survey?
Students' response:
The consequences of corruption lead to the ruin of private entrepreneurs;
Decrease in investment in production, slowdown in economic growth;
Reduced quality of overall service; ineffective use of people's abilities;
Growing social inequality;
Increased organized crime;
Feelings of powerlessness and injustice.
Ways to combat corruption.
Teacher: What ways to combat corruption could you suggest?
Student answers:
– don't give any bribes! And for those who take, dismiss from work, fine, confiscate all property. Another way is staff rotation;
Install video control;
We must make sure that there are no queues, no red tape with documentation;
The dysfunctional state of society must be eliminated.
What leads to corruption?
Large income gap;
A sharp drop in wages;
Weakening of government control;
Uncertainty of market behavior norms,
Gaps in legislation.
Teacher: Guys, I present to your attention sayings about corruption, what worldly wisdom do they represent?
Corrupt practices: Gifts blind even the wise.
A stupid person gives money, a stupid person does not take it.
Self-interest: Self-interest gives rise to envy.
They beckon you - they want your money.
Punishment: For good - thank you, but for sin you will pay. No matter how you cut it, the seams will come out.
STUDENTS' ANSWERS: Children give an analysis of sayings in the format of a general conversation in class.
Final conversation
What is corruption?
What are the forms of anti-corruption activities?
What organizations combat corruption?
How do criminal penalties for corruption crimes differ in Russia in comparison with European countries?
Final words from the teacher:
Corruption destroys society from within. It can be compared to a splinter: the longer it remains in silence, the larger its size and the worse the consequences. I think corruption can be defeated and eradicated only if everyone fights against it together.
Read Aristotle's lines carefully and thoughtfully. How little is needed and how much needs to be changed in order to become a “morally pure” person.
We tried to find out what you need to be careful of so as not to go astray.

PROGRESS OF THE EVENT.
Introductory conversation.
Corruption(from lat. corrumpere- “corrupt”) is a term that usually denotes the use by an official of his powers and the rights entrusted to him for the purpose of personal gain, contrary to the law and moral principles. Most often the term is used in relation to the bureaucracy and the political elite.
In most European countries, corruption is a criminal offense.
A characteristic sign of corruption is a conflict between the actions of an official and the interests of his employer, or a conflict between the actions of an elected official and the interests of society. Many types of corruption are similar to fraud committed by a public official and fall under the category of crimes against public authority.
Any person who has discretionary power- power over the distribution of any resources that do not belong to him at his own discretion (official, deputy, judge, law enforcement officer, administrator, examiner, doctor, etc.).
The main incentive for corruption is the possibility of obtaining economic profit ( annuities), associated with the use of power, and the main deterrent is the risk of exposure and punishment.
According to research, corruption is the largest obstacle to economic growth and development, capable of jeopardizing any transformation.
According to Kazakhstani legislation, corruption is abuse of official position, giving a bribe, receiving a bribe, abuse of power, commercial bribery or other illegal use by an individual of his official position contrary to the legitimate interests of society and the state in order to obtain benefits in the form of money, valuables, other property or services of a property nature, other property rights for oneself or for third parties, or the illegal provision of such benefits to the specified person by other individuals; as well as the commission of these acts on behalf of or in the interests of a legal entity.
Abuse may be one of the forms of corruption (one of the criminal acts of an official or group of persons), but does not exhaust the entire definition of corruption.
History of corruption
(viewing and protecting the presentation)
The historical roots of corruption probably go back to the custom of giving gifts to gain favor. An expensive gift distinguished a person from other petitioners and helped ensure that his request was fulfilled. Therefore, in primitive societies, payment to the priest or leader was the norm. As the state apparatus became more complex and the power of the central government strengthened, professional officials appeared who, according to the plans of the rulers, had to be content only with a fixed salary. In practice, officials sought to take advantage of their position to secretly increase their income.
The first ruler who was mentioned as a fighter against corruption was Uruinimgina, the Sumerian king of the city-state of Lagash in the second half of the 24th century BC. e. Despite demonstrative and often brutal punishments for corruption, the fight against it did not lead to the desired results. At best, the most dangerous crimes were prevented, but at the level of petty embezzlement and bribes, corruption was widespread. The first treatise discussing corruption - "Arthashastra" - was published under the pseudonym Kautilya by one of the ministers of Bharata (India) in the 4th century BC. e. In it, he made a pessimistic conclusion that “the king’s property cannot, at least in a small way, not be appropriated by those in charge of this property.”
The corruption of judges was of particular concern, as it led to the illegal redistribution of property and the desire to resolve the dispute outside the legal framework. It is no coincidence that the leading religions, of all types of corruption, condemn first of all the bribery of judges: “Do not accept gifts, for gifts make blind those who see and pervert the work of the righteous” (Ex. 23:8, see also Deut. 16:19); “Do not misappropriate one another’s property and do not bribe judges to deliberately appropriate part of other people’s property” (Quran 2:188), etc.
However, starting from the end of the 18th century, a turning point occurred in the West in society’s attitude towards corruption. Liberal reforms took place under the slogan that state power exists for the benefit of the people subject to it, and therefore subjects support the government in exchange for officials’ strict observance of the laws. In particular, according to the US Constitution, adopted in 1787, accepting a bribe is one of two expressly mentioned crimes for which the President of the United States can be impeached.
Society began to exert more and more influence on the quality of work of the state apparatus. As political parties and government regulation grew stronger, episodes of collusion between the political elite and big business became a growing concern. However, objectively, the level of corruption in developed countries during the 19th-20th centuries decreased significantly compared to the rest of the world.
In the second half of the 20th century, corruption increasingly began to become an international problem. Bribery of senior officials abroad by corporations has become widespread. Globalization has led to the fact that corruption in one country has a negative impact on the development of many countries. However, the countries with the highest levels of corruption were no longer limited to the Third World: liberalization in the former socialist countries in the 1990s. accompanied by flagrant abuses of office. In its issue of December 31, 1995, the Financial Times declared 1995 the “year of corruption.” To promote awareness of corruption, the UN established International Anti-Corruption Day (December 9).
CONVERSATION WITH ELEMENTS OF DISCUSSION.
Have you ever heard of corruption? What do you know about this phenomenon? (the guys give their associations, read excerpts from works of literature)
How do you feel about this phenomenon? What about your relatives and friends?
What harm do you think corruption causes to the state and society?
Student performance
Speaker:
How does corruption and its manifestations - bribery and bribery affect various areas of activity and organizations?
Bribery hinders businesses, which cannot thrive in a corrupt system, leading to a reduction in the country's overall wealth;
Embezzlement leads to the fact that money allocated by the state for the provision of social services (schools, hospitals, roads, sewerage, police, etc.) is not used properly, which deteriorates the quality of services;
Bribery creates the conditions for people with money and connections to change laws and government regulations in their own interests;
Corruption entails a reduction in the amount of money that the government must pay to workers and spend on supplies: books, medicine, computers, etc.
undermines trust in government.
Speaker:
Corruption affects you even if you are not directly exposed to it through various services and organizations. The World Bank estimates that one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) is wasted around the world each year.
Corruption leads to a decrease in a country's wealth and a decrease in living standards.
According to the study, when countries fight corruption, government revenues quadruple in the long run. By reducing corruption, business could grow three percent faster and infant mortality rates could drop by as much as 75%.
Nevertheless, attitudes towards corruption are different, and now we will provide you with some statistical studies on the topic of corruption. The numbers that we will now announce speak for themselves.
Of the 163 countries surveyed, the cleanest were Finland, Iceland, New Zealand and Singapore, where governments have successfully eliminated all possible channels for the spread of corruption. The USA is in 17th place in the world, our country took 111th place out of 163. Honduras, Belarus, and Ukraine are in positions 1107-110. Russia is in 128th place
Considering the fact that without constant counteraction, corruption tends to expand and adapt to new conditions, it is necessary to create a unified mechanism to reduce the scale of corruption in the shortest possible time, as well as to develop the main directions of work to implement anti-corruption policy as a permanent organic function of the state.
Thanks to the clear, consistent anti-corruption policy of the Head of State, an atmosphere of intolerance towards corrupt officials has been created in society and conditions have been created in order to wage a “merciless fight against corruption, regardless of persons and positions.”
Speaker:
Thus, all the necessary legal, economic and political prerequisites are created for a full and effective fight against corruption and the causes that give rise to it.
What can we, the younger generation, do?
Corruption will not go away until we make it go away. Do the right thing:
do not give or take bribes;
strive to achieve desired results based on personal integrity;
publicize cases of corruption.
You also can:
change the existing system and create laws that would protect active citizens who oppose corruption;
write about cases of corruption known to you in local newspapers;
Take part in numerous campaigns and actions to combat corruption carried out around the world.
Study this phenomenon
Get acquainted with anti-corruption measures and methods of combating corruption.
I think that today’s event touched on a very serious problem, there is something to think about and discuss.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
“If I were the President...” - the class is divided into small and large groups and each of them, within 5 minutes, proposes ways and measures to combat corruption. Then the group presents its proposals, and during the discussion the most rational ways and measures of struggle are selected.
SUMMARY OF THE CLASS HOUR.
As you can see, corruption is strong, but it can be fought. If you fight back against corrupt officials and
bribe takers, the octopus will be left without its tentacles. Soon you will become adults,
you will have to solve many questions that life poses to us.
Try to find the right solution in any situation without circumventing the law.
If each of us does not give bribes or use our official position, then it will be possible to win the fight against corruption.
I believe that our country has a great future, it will be able to survive all difficulties
and it will become even more beautiful.
And you will help Kazakhstan with this!

Together against corruption Extracurricular activity
Corruption “is the root from which flows at all times and under all temptations contempt for all laws.” Thomas Hobbes
Many compare corruption to a disease. Each disease has its own causes that need to be treated. What are the causes of corruption?
Causes of corruption: - Low wages of civil servants - Ignorance of laws - Desire for easy money - Frequent turnover of persons in various positions - Instability in the country - Corruption as a habit - Low standard of living of the population - Poor development of state institutions - Unemployment - Underdevelopment of civil society institutions
Depending on the field of activity, corruption manifests itself in the following forms: Corruption in public administration Parliamentary corruption Business corruption Corruption in enterprises Household corruption

Bribe Embezzlement Fraud Extortion Favoritism - in state and public life, passionate patronage of favorites (favorites) and the appointment of favorites to high positions, despite the fact that they do not have the abilities or knowledge necessary for their service Abuse of official powers
Consider the situations and indicate which of them represent cases of corruption and which do not. 1 . In gratitude for the fact that the doctor cured her seriously ill child, Galina gave the doctor a bouquet of flowers from her garden. 2. Accountant Ivanova S. used fake accounts that contained incorrect information. 3. The candidate for deputy agreed with the company to finance its elections to government bodies, in return he promised to help this company receive good orders. 4. A public official uses a company car and fuel for personal purposes. 5. Ivan was forced to thank the official who was deliberately stalling for time to resolve his issue. 6. A government official comes to work late, returns early from work, and attends to personal affairs during working hours.
What does folk wisdom say... Remember what proverbs and sayings reflect corruption in modern society? “If you don’t help, you won’t go” – extortion, bribery. “Hand washes hand” is a group planned activity in bribery. “Raking in the heat with the wrong hands” is unconscious complicity in fraud and scams. “The eye sees, but the tooth is not honey” - the ineffectiveness of anti-corruption efforts.
The main signs of a corrupt action: Mutual consent of the participants in the action. The presence of mutual obligations. Obtaining certain benefits and advantages by both parties. The decision being made violates the law or is contrary to moral standards. Conscious subordination of common interests to personal gain. Both sides are trying to hide their actions.
Team 1 When violating traffic rules while drunk, the driver paid the traffic police officer, who, instead of filling out a report, took the money and released the offender. 2nd team The civil servant responsible for the distribution of free medicines to patients sent some of the medicines to private pharmacies for their further sale at high prices 3rd team To the relatives of the sick citizen N., the head physician unequivocally says that he needs an emergency operation, but in the general queue the operation will have to “ wait a very long time."
Let's say "No" to corruption!
The fight against corruption must begin with oneself and demand the elimination of corruption from others. The effectiveness of the struggle depends on the interaction of all branches of government, their responsibility for the process of improving society. It is necessary to quickly respond to all types of corruption offenses and give fair punishments.

- Opening speech by the class teacher.
At the initiative of the UN, December 9 is celebrated as International Anti-Corruption Day. On this day in 2003, the UN Convention against Corruption, adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 1, 2003, was opened for signature. The document obliges the signatory states to criminalize bribery, theft of budget funds and laundering of corruption proceeds. Russia was among the first countries to sign the Convention.
Our class hour is devoted to a topic that is often discussed. It cannot be otherwise, because it affects the interests of every person. But it is very important that everyone understands what corruption is, what harm it causes and how it can be fought.
Today we will analyze the answers of our respondents, consider what corruption is, what are its forms and causes, find out what kind of damage corruption can cause both to the country and to each individual; We will find out what methods of fighting corruption exist in the world and in Russia.
II. Food for thought.
- Vocabulary work. 1) What does the word corruption mean?
Student answers:
Corruption from the Latin corumpere - to spoil, corrupt, corrode with rust.
Corruption. Original Russian synonyms for this word: “bribery”, “embezzlement”, “extortion”, “bribery”, “connivance”, “abuse of official position”. One of the most brief, but quite succinct definitions of corruption is given by the Dictionary of Foreign Words: it is “the bribery and corruption of government officials, officials, as well as public and political figures in general.”
I understand corruption as the abuse of one's power, work or professional position.
According to S.I. Ozhegov’s explanatory dictionary, “Corruption is the moral corruption of officials and politicians, expressed in illegal enrichment, bribery, theft and merging with mafia structures.”
(students analyze circuit-cluster, shown on the board).
Teacher: Guys, you gave the correct interpretation of this word. In the modern concept, corruption also means the use of power for personal gain. Corruption acts as a complex social phenomenon that originated in ancient times and continues to exist today.
Unfortunately, corruption exists in almost all spheres of society and manifests itself in a wide variety of forms and types. Corruption can be seen in the works of Russian classics, for example, in the works of N.V. Gogol. Remember how in the work “The Inspector General” the writer denounces the entire bureaucratic system. He brings to the fore a whole team - officials, their wives and children, merchants, townspeople, police officers and other ordinary people. The bribe in the work is one of the central elements of the overall picture. I think that the problem that Gogol discusses in his work is still relevant.
Corruption includes two components: legal (corruption offenses, crimes) and ethical (moral and ethical corruption deviations, violations). Being an antisocial phenomenon, it is immoral in its essence. In many ways, it is society's tolerance for everyday manifestations of corrupt behavior that makes corruption so widespread. Corruption corrodes public morality, cultivates greed, greed, disregard for the law, and violence. There are always two sides involved in corruption, and it is always a matter of moral choice. To make this choice more meaningful,balanced, objective information, knowledge, clear examples of negative consequences, a clearly defined position of the state and the entire society are needed.
To decay morally, not to be “pure” morally – is this worthy of a self-respecting person? How to answer this question is up to you. This answer will determine your position in life.

Teams are given forms with a table, which they fill out within 5 minutes.
Teacher: Very often we assign the names of bribe takers only to officials. But the problem of corruption cannot be reduced to them. The people who offer money are just as corrupt.
Sociologists conducted a survey of the population about bribes. As a result, it turned out that 61.3% of respondents expressed their readiness to solve their problems by giving a bribe. About 30% of citizens do not pay bribes on principle.
Discussion “What causes corruption”?
Exercise: write down the reasons for corruption on a piece of paper. One reason - one point. Whose team writes more reasons, that team earns more points.
Students may be calledthe following reasons:
Low wages for civil servants
Ignorance of laws
Desire for easy money
Frequent turnover of persons in various positions
Instability in the country
Corruption as a habit
Low standard of living of the population
Poor development of government institutions
Unemployment
Underdevelopment of civil society institutions
The teacher complements the students' answers:
- The main cause of corruption is human greed. This is due to the desire for personal well-being. Therefore, politicians and officials begin to use their positions to create personal wealth. Observing this, young people perceive public service as a convenient and attractive way of life.
- Yet, despite the same human nature, societies are corrupt to varying degrees. The level of corruption may be related to the culture, mentality and traditions of a society. For example, it is believed that Protestant societies perceive corruption as an evil more easily, since the Protestant ethic clearly distinguishes between public and individual values. Corruption is easier to take root in countries with a low level of social development and immature civic consciousness.
- The level of corruption is also affected by the maturity of the legal system. Corruption is encouraged by unclear, contradictory and constantly changing legislation, and distrust of law enforcement agencies. Therefore, the level of corruption is lower in states with long-established statehood, and whose law and democracy are based on ancient traditions.
Teacher provides additional information about the types and forms of corruption:
Depending on the field of activity, corruption manifests itself in the following forms:
Corruption in public administrationconcerns government officials (officials) in power who manage state resources and make decisions not in the interests of the state and society, but based on selfish convictions.
Parliamentary corruptionexpressed in the purchase of votes during elections.
Business corruptionarises from the interaction between government and business. For example, in the case of a business dispute, the parties may seek to enlist the support of a judge in order to make a decision in their favor.
Corruption in enterprisesis expressed in the fact that an employee of a commercial or public organization manages resources that do not belong to him and thereby illegally enriches himself.
Everyday corruptionis generated by the interaction of ordinary citizens and officials. It includes various gifts from citizens and services to the official and his family members.
In life, our rights are often violated, we have to defend the rights and restore the violated ones. Teams need to recover the words within a certain time.

- Interactive conversation.
- Defense of the first group of the project “Consequences of Corruption”.
(Students talk about the economic (material) and psychological (intangible) consequences of corruption.
Material consequences: ruin of private entrepreneurs; decrease in investment in production, slowdown in economic growth; reduction in the quality of overall service; ineffective use of abilities and people; growing social inequality; strengthening of organized crime.
Intangible consequences: damage to the political legitimacy of the government; decline in public morality; erosion of values; feeling of powerlessness and injustice.)
- Ways to fight corruption (protection of group II of the project “Ways to fight corruption”).
Classroom teacher:You are teenagers who are faced with choosing a future profession. 5-6 years will pass, and you, certified specialists, will start working. Perhaps some of you will occupy a high position, some will engage in entrepreneurial activities... What ways of fighting corruption could you suggest?
Student answers:
1) - In order for the fight against corruption to bring results, the desire of all people is needed. After all, bribery exists not only thanks to those who take, but also to those who give. Many people prefer to resolve their cases in an “expedited manner” by offering money. This is often easier than waiting for cases to be resolved on a general basis.
2) - First of all, we need to educate ourselves and stop solving problems financially. If there were no bribe givers, then there would be no people who receive them. We ourselves accustom those who can solve our problems to money and various kinds of rewards.
3) - Nowadays, there are long queues in many places; you can wait for a document for years; It takes a lot of effort to get somewhere. To make things easier or to do something very quickly, people give money. And this really speeds up the necessary process.
4) - Most people most often view corruption from the point of view of compensation for low pay of an official. However, there are many people around us who receive low salaries!
5) - In my opinion, it is possible to eliminate corruption only by eliminating its cause - the dysfunctional state of society. If we want our republic to develop successfully, we must fight corruption.
6) - The concepts of honor and unblemished reputation should become unshakable for every citizen of the country. It is necessary to eliminate the gaps in the legal education of the population.It is necessary to form the ethics of citizens.
What leads to corruption?
Large income gap;
A sharp drop in wages;
Weakening of government control;
Uncertainty of market behavior norms,
Gaps in legislation.

VI. Closing remarks from the class teacher.
Corruption destroys society from within. It can be compared to a splinter: the longer it remains in silence, the larger its size and the worse the consequences. I think corruption can be defeated and eradicated only if we all work together.
Carefully and thoughtfully read the lines from the Bible, the words of the sages: Aristotle, Luc de Vauvenargues, A.P. Chekhov. How little you need and how much you need to change in order to become “morally pure.” Everyone strives for this in their own way. And although many roads lead to morality, no matter how many people there are on the planet, it still has its own patterns, its own components. We tried to find out what you need to be careful of so as not to go astray.
Youth! Take it with you on the road
The most cherished dream
For people there is mental anxiety,
Hearts are hot and thoughts are beautiful,
Wisdom of feeling
Resilience in the storms of life,
Courage in everything and to the end,
Loyalty to a friend
Devotion to the Fatherland,
The name of a citizen and a fighter.
Conclusion: Corruption is a negative phenomenon. It undermines the foundations of society, creates threats to development, contributes to a decline in trust in government bodies, and destroys the economy and morality of society. It depends on you and me - what kind of state will we live in: honest or corrupt?

A little from history...(student report): Corruption is a complex social phenomenon that originated in ancient times in the countries of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, Judea (i.e. in the centers of ancient Eastern civilizations) and exists today in all countries regardless of level of its development, differing only in its scale.
The historical roots of corruption probably go back to the custom of giving gifts to gain favor. An expensive gift distinguished a person from other petitioners and helped ensure that his request was fulfilled. Therefore, in primitive societies, payment to the priest or leader was the norm.
The legislation of the Russian Federation allows civil servants and employees of municipal bodies to give ordinary gifts, the value of which does not exceed five minimum wages established by law.
The ancient Indian treatise on the art of government, “Arthashastra” (IV century BC), emphasizes that the most important task facing the king is the fight against embezzlement. Here
40 ways of stealing government property are listed and the conclusion is drawn that it is easier to guess the path of birds in the sky than the tricks of cunning officials.

punishments: death penalty, trade penalty (whip). The Code of Law expanded the range of acts recognized as criminal offenses: sedition, “church theft” (sacrilege), snitching; gave the concept of crime, as well as especially dangerous crime.

What does the term "favorite" mean? (a courtier who enjoys special trust from the monarch and influence on the country’s domestic and foreign policy)
During the reign of the Romanovs, corruption was associated with favoritism (student message):
Elizabeth Petrovna's favorite, Chancellor Bestuzhev-Ryumin, was an agent of influence from the British crown.
The favorite of Peter I, Prince Alexander Menshikov, is a talented administrator and commander who was known for his love of money and a major embezzler. He embezzled 1.5 million rubles during
reign of the Romanovs. Peter more than once punished him with his own hands, beat him, threatened him with resignation, but soon forgave his friend.
