腐敗した組織の中では腐敗を自覚する事は難しい
今回の自民党の裏金事件で、安倍派の幹部から収支報告書への記載は不要だと言われたので、そのようにしたと発言した議員がいた。記載するなと言われた訳ではないが、不記載に誘導されたのでそのようにしたという事だろう。
この例のように腐敗した組織の中では、腐敗したやり方や考え方に逆らうと、反って居辛くなったり敵を作ったりするので、益々腐敗が進行してしまうという事が起きる。
また、腐敗は個人に利益を与えると同時に、多くの仲間が同様に腐敗していれば、組織の構成員は腐敗している状態が通常のあり方だと認識してしまうだろう。
It is difficult for the members to recognize corruption in a corrupt organization.
In the Liberal Democratic Party's slush fund scandal this time, one lawmaker said that he did so because he was told by senior members of the Abe faction that it was unnecessary to include it in the income and expenditure report. It's not like he was told not to include it, but he probably did it because he was guided to not include it.
In a corrupt organization like this example, if you go against corrupt ways and ways of thinking, you will become uncomfortable with it and make enemies. So, the organization leads to further corruption.
Furthermore, while corruption benefits individuals, if many of their colleagues are similarly corrupt, members of an organization will perceive corruption as the normal state of affairs.
