Bribery is not just about money but could also include holidays, school fees and internship offers

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement under examination concerns the nature of bribery and whether it can extend beyond monetary exchange. 
Option 1: True. Bribery is typically defined as offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in a position of trust. While money is a common form, the concept encompasses a broad range of benefits, including holidays, school fees, internships, or other favors, that aim to sway decisions or gain improper advantages. This broader view aligns with ethics and anti-corruption frameworks that treat non-money inducements as bribery if they create a corrupt obligation or bias. 
Option 2: False. This would claim that bribery is limited to financial payments alone. Such a view is too narrow and inconsistent with many legal and ethics definitions that recognize non-cash inducements as bribes when they influence behavior or decisions. It risks underestimating the forms bribery can take and thus fails to capture real-world scenarios where perks or benefits are used to illicitly influence outcomes. 
In summary, considering bribery as any act that seeks to unduly influence a decision through valued benefits (not just money) avoids an incomplete view and reflects common understandings in law and ethics.
