Vivir sin corrupción | Sofía Ramírez | TEDxUniversidadPanamericana


thank you very much everyone first of all

I want to tell you three things about

australia is not only at the end of the

literal world but they drive from the side

left of the road there are spiders so

big ones that can eat a little bit and

people trust him a lot in front and

Well, about 13 years ago it exploded

exchange being a student in

australia and and I was living with my companion

of department than the Dutch and for

the paragolpe cries so boring was a

person who was dedicated to follow the

rules to the letter in the

cafeteria could choose the food and not

pay it not me first I made the pay

and then I took it, I stopped at the

pedestrian bridges to pass the

pedestrian crossings to pass the

the pedestrians nor did I sell vice handled the

left side of the right side of the

street he did fairly well and he

It gives a lot of courage and then when we

we went on a trip in the holidays

we took a borrowed car a shop

borrowed campaign and pines we went camping

without knowing a rule capable of knowing how to handle

across the street good so that

give an idea the first few nights

it illustrates very well

the tonic of the rest of the first trip

night arrived

we come to a comparator our

admirers on the edge of the road and

could we settled down satellite

we slept campaign and not just

early in the morning when the sun rises

there was a patrol waking us

telling us clearly here is not a

camping site

then at that moment I like them

the rules of the apprentice game

so there are little symbols for not camping

in tulsa and do not camp second night

a similar thing happens to us but good

we have seen that there was one of these

there was not then there we got there was a

very cute little monkey with the grass clipped and

those rare australia is like means

arctic we said here is nice possible

a tent and put as before

once they told me that the bathroom looking

little trees I started to walk in

of the duckling and since I was in my

place suddenly the lights come on

like scams and clear over in a house

and the owner of the house did not like it

that they were camping their garden

then I also learned that not only did not

they are camping where I say a

symbol but if there is no

little symbol said camping

neither can camping then good

how much he did not really learn much

He still wanted to camp, he grabs us

night and over speeding and

Manjar from the mouth very risky street

but it’s because where he comes from he is

Yolanda have a very high level of civic

high and for example its index

perception of corruption is 8 over

10 points

then if they separate us the garbage

or literal copy exam as a level of

civics continue falling a little bit from 8 to 7

6 but with a bit of luck at the end

of the day this Dutch will have paid

your taxes and they will not have given a

bitten the transit officer then

they will end up returning to similar levels

of himself and corruption with those who

woke up then they are still in an 8 in

mexico mexico we have a qualification

of 3 out of 10 3 out of 10 is worthwhile

other we are in place 123 of 136

countries and that is why it leads us to have a

very different national reality

the one from australia and the one from holland

so while I like to say the

rules because I come instead of following

the rules is very difficult corruption

in Mexico is the second problem that most

it worries us even over the

unemployment poverty and only by

under the security and yet

we justify ourselves permanently

with which everyone does

in the case of for example buy

piracy eight out of ten people do not

they feel at all with no type

of remorse and also

we saw that corruption is far from

succeed the officials to the

politicians do not

Six out of ten people believe they are

they who break the law and we do not

we realize that we are made of what

same and we also have to think that the

people in our closest circle

we have nothing to do with the

corruption only two out of ten

people think that their family or their

neighbors are corrupt and well this is

it’s no surprise

one in ten people trust the

public and private institutions

then we do not feel sheltered either

to know how we are going to solve the

problem

then I come to speak of

make a decision responsibly

staff and choose to do things

well most of the time and good

because we as people have this

perception that it does not matter what

decide in the end was the best decision

possible because we wanted to minimize the

risk then that make us get to

come to conclusions of actions that do not

they are necessarily the best

we always think that the punishment will be

bigger than it really is and and

we are willing then to

strive to pay to avoid that

punishment what we are not seeing is that

every act of corruption has an effect

very important butterfly if you by

example in the university will be devoted to

buy final works or copy in the

exam also with a bit of luck go

to become good people and it will not happen

nothing

but it turns out that in cases where

for example if it happens and there is a novelty

who wants to buy beer or enter

the clubs and buy a credential

fake elector is feeding a

voter credentials market

false that it costs the state

mexican a lot of money and all

it costs us in terms of

quality of democracy because then it goes

to have a workshop that is going to

specialize in making songs of

false elector and then there’s going to be

electoral frauds and then it’s going to

have again less

in the institutions then really

a small cost of what I paid him

100 pesos in the window at

official is going to become

quickly in costs of 10 thousand 100 thousand

millions of fish

then he the subject that is that also

there are heroes in this story in the

history corruption is not that there

good and bad but we all have

this option to decide and the heroes are

you are me, we are all those who

the freedom and the privilege to decide

we chose to do things well the

most of the time and well then I

it seems that it is also relatively

simple to realize that at the moment

in which everyone takes their option is

generating this environment of greater

trust in others because there is also

studies that prove that effectively

when someone when someone from a

corrupt environment moves to an environment not

corrupt in relatively short time

change their attitudes and their

preferences and their tolerance to

corruption

in the second term of this thing there

they serve for where you play rogue

Second, it is important that

let’s understand that the responsibility

it also involves teaching the acts of

corruption of other acts of

corruption of third parties that

Sometimes they are as close as in my house and

in my family and that is always the most

difficult when one names corruption

it’s as if it did not exist and it’s as if

we were in a lane in a

eight lane road and we have left

very clear on which side is the end of

the road on one side and from which side

is the end of the other’s road

side but these eight lanes are 20

meters away then we are not

so clear if within those 20 meters

eight lanes

we are really going corrupt or not and

that can be diminished that distance is

can locate to the extent

that we name it and say what you’re

doing you is an act of corruption already

Sometimes it ‘s painful because nobody

like to be corrected, for example

I ride a bicycle and I’ve been 20 years

riding a bicycle and just yesterday

at night I saw that there were no cars

on the cruise and that there were no people

that it was very easy for me to pass the high

I almost took a tie or one to one

pedestrian and lady very angry flavors

of table who high at that time

well I fell twenty that

I actually saw the lady but

I thought I could dodge it and really

if she does not tell me

I would have a clear conscience today and

I’m a santa biker and that’s not

it’s true then we need that we

they remember permanently what

we do wrong and the same with corruption

well we all talk about that the

probability we start

identify it and then these 20

road lanes

these twenty meters of road are

reduce to about 10 centimeters goes to

be much easier and we will be of

one side or the other with greater clarity and

good finally the this responsibility

It also leads us to have a

prioritization of our actions with

about what is good for everyone and

for that we Mexicans against

We always pose corruption

options of what people can do

because it is very frustrating

always talk and hear about

corruption because it ‘s everywhere and

feel that there is nothing that we

we can do then in the first place

is denouncing

It is proven that making complaints does not

only before the authority but before the

academic authority at the university or

before the line of complaint of a company

whenever we can announce it will be

much easier than all the efforts

of that organization focuses on

detect that problem in particular the

second term

we also always want

promote that there is citizen demand or

student’s requirement

or requirement of the employees of a

company that has better mechanisms of

detection and that there are better and greater

penalties because that combination makes

that corruption

in particular bribes are diminished and

be much easier

empower the one who is reporting and

then already that way it decreases

very much the incidence and in third

term seems to me like the most important

of this talk is that we stop using

intermediaries

I mean example in the coyotes when

when one wants to do a formality

Government is always very hard worker

and it’s very slow and it’s inefficient and

rested but then what we

we have to do as Mexicans is and

of hiring a manager that is going to

do the procedure and that agency can

be much more expensive than it is

evident because at the moment in which

I hired someone to do it

a procedure and many times they will be

faster more efficient with older

prerogatives and permits stopped naming

to the possible corruption involved and you

called agency and then what ends

happening is that not only did he not denounce

that endorsed and promoted it and then it is

extremely expensive for all as Mexicans

it’s good that finally the offer or the

proposal that we have is

resist temptation and only the fact

to resist as I said I do

All of us believe that our option

our last option was the correct one and

if we question ourselves if

true to minimize the risk is the way

in which we want to live

we have to transform reality and

think that maybe we want to maximize the

benefit then as far as the

that we offer resistance to

Bribe offers or offers

of corruption

we are going to have a better environment and

then we will stop having this

tolerance for corruption then

in short we all have the potential to

be a hero and do things right

most of the time

we all have the responsibility

that gives us Monday

city ​​and have the freedom to power

choose to do things well of

point out and name corruption because

an important fact is that we in

average we pay 14 percent of

our income in corruption 14% is more

or less one eighth of our

income but as always they finish

paying the broken dishes are the most

vulnerable and the people who have the

lowest income in mexico just

paying up to a third of your income in

bitten and bribed in the end

translates into it simply the right of

be able to access a social program

then the victimization of the people

most vulnerable of the most companies

girls is always greater than the

average to the people then important

fasting corruption and finally

know that if it is in us to change and

that the environment that we want or

not for our children and new

generations but for today for us

there

is in our ability to decide

in being corrupt are many thanks

[Applause]
