      Bh Rpalli,
      Good answer. Good example that you have mentioned. It is relevant. You can show comparative analysis as to when more good is done than harm by corruption, then based on cost-benefit analysis it is not that harmful. However it should be used rarely and not be made norms. You have used good arguments. Overall a good answer.

      Keep writing.
