Across the board in public and private sectors and all governments past and present, it's pretty much agreed that corruption on some level is endemic to our institutions and areas of economic activity. That is not to say everyone is corrupt, but rather to acknowledge a sociocultural reality whose origins are historical.
In their Carnival presentation titled Miss Miles–Mas Corruption, Tony Hall, Peter Minshall, their creative team and masqueraders offered us a refreshing portrayal of who–under such a reality–we might become.International, cross-cultural research notes whistle-blowers reveal larger amounts of fraud than all regulatory authorities, police agencies and governments put together.
They also reveal more fraud than compliance officers and professional corporate auditors, whose sole job is to uncover such malfeasance. Understood in this light, whistle-blowing has an essential social and political function in battling abuses of power.This is not to say whistle-blowing is a simple choice. It is not. For all the veneration and admiration of Gene Miles' integrity and moral courage today, we cannot forget she was socially outcast at the time and died young and a pauper.
