Activism, as a social worker I participated in programs regarding everything from reform of motorcyclists being targeted to protecting Children and their rights. What is described above is different. Corruption causes many of the problems from drug abuse, Pharma, child sex abuse and so many that I cannot name all of them. All of the abuses take place because of one form of corruption or another. All of our political leaders are corrupt on both sides. and it doesn’t stop there, it advances those who have real wealth and power in the G 20. who’s rule has been in power since before Biblical times so if the party in power is trying to get rid of some of it great , as long as they don’t fall and become the problem.

Yes clarify, Activists, works only are viable when they have a concrete agenda to work for and not agendas that create kaos. Also, it is corruption that allows for almost all of the abuses to our little ones and persons. In my 35 years of social work experience most issues and victim categories are caused or related to corruption. almost always when a person comes into counseling for one reason there are always underlying issues from childhood and beyond. I blame corruption for at least 75%, the other 25% is parental or lack of.
