                                             "No" to Corruption


Corruption is a major problem in Armenia. It is in every area of life: government, education, elections, employment, hospitalization system, etc... People of Armenia have lived in these conditions so long, that it is very hard for them to look for other ways to live. There are very few adults (40+), who believe in honest elections and participate in elections. It is very hard for youth to find jobs, because of the corrupt way of employment. In short, corruption has become a huge disaster that keeps pulling Armenia back and preventing it from moving forward. I want Armenia to act against corruption and become a developed and real democratic country!
Social Media can be a very good help for this situation! First of all, if someone has become a victim of corruption, he can share about it in special anti-corruption groups, or create his own blog or group to speak up and make others to join. When users see it in webs like Facebook or Twitter they start to think about it and talk about it, so corruption becomes more discussable for public.
Then people can create special web pages against corruption, collecting data against particular corrupt actions, from actual victims, and use it in the court. They also can get together, and join powers, because together they will be a stronger power. Social Media is a good way to do that. It’s easy to communicate and rich people from the one end of the country to another, which will help to organize a stronger opposition.

  1. corruption is destructing the government from inside and the government itself has to find out how to omit all corruption activities. Indonesia has a big trouble with corruption. I hope social media can help oppose corruption in the world.

  2. It sounds like a really big problem, especially in elections. They can't just ignore people's thoughts and cover the problems in their gov't with money.But as you said, social media can be the most important helper. Also, i liked your project! Keep up good work!

  3. Most of countries in the world have a same problem, corruption. It's difficult to find honest and clean government nowadays. Need a good system to find out who's corrupt in government.
