I grew up in a country where having friends working as civil servers and politicians was a great asset to have.
I remember that getting an ID card or the passport was a big and slow process but having a relative working in that department make this process quick and smooth.
Do you consider helping a relative to get thru the system faster corruption?
What about helping a friend to get his passport in a easy way as a return of a favor?
Does this happens every where?
Have you taken advantage of having a friend or relative working in a Administration?, per example to get you Id, passport, driving license, social security number, any paperwork with the local council,etc...?
Is there a small line between corruption and a favor?
