What is the image of corruption? Some visualize it to be a picture of one party handing an envelope full of cash to another party, but in day-to-day life this is seldom seen. Images are important to all of us—some people need to “see it to believe it.”
People are commonly more sympathetic to pain and suffering if they can see the physical signs, such as cuts, bruises, broken bones, and tears. Some people who cannot see the signs of depression and anxiety are less likely to be sympathetic to those suffering from mental illness. Thus, in much the same way, the images of the impact of corruption are seldom seen or visualized—it is as though they sit in an abstract, disconnected place.
