The newspaper editorial says corruption and normalization are two parts of the same coin. Nothing wrong for corruption to occupy the first place as its destruction is more dangerous than normalization. The nature of corruption is to destroy all human values, principles and morals, though the most apparent features are theft and seizure of the state's or others properties.
It is regrettable that corruption in our society to become a phenomenon. Its continuation and development leads us to cultural, political and economic normalization in accordance with the manner the corrupts want.
