Abstract:

Corruption has become a culture that has developed within Indonesia's bureaucratic system. The prevalence of corruption has led to the conclusion that corruption is a cultural issue, as it is a cultural phenomenon that makes it so easy for every institution to engage in corruption. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and formulate strategies to address corruption from a cultural perspective. Corruption is a deviant act in social, cultural, societal, and state life. Corruption occurs everywhere, between businesspeople and powerful bureaucrats. It seems that in various conversations, the word "corruption" is no longer a strange term. It seems to have become commonplace. Corruption is no longer considered a violation of individual ethics but rather a violation of social ethics as a general agreement.
