Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the impact of corruption on the loss of social cohesion in Colombia. To this end, a tour is made throughout some events that have meant economic and social costs for the country and that have had a negative impact on the credibility of institutions, on the increase of inequality and poverty and on the gradual configuration of an anomic state. Likewise, this chapter deals with the ethical implications of corrupt practices, as well as with the way in which a proper ethical education can contribute to the restoration of trust and the strengthening of the social fabric. It is concluded, among other aspects, that corruption, particularly in Colombia, has fragmented the social fabric and has contributed to worsening poverty rates, hunger, lack of employment, and the low levels of both education and health.
