I don't have this issue with my parents. You parents are responsible for brining you up and children are in an ideal position to learn from their example, so it is likely that a child brought up by people like this would see corruption as being normal. My parents brought me up to value ethics and fair play, so if I found out they were corrupt then I would be devastated and would probably want no further contact until they cleaned up their act. I have a friend whose mother worked in a large university which I went to. He openly admitted to being proud of her. The reason? She had found out something (never found out what) about the the president of the uni. He wanted to fire her, didn't dare and kept paying her although she never showed up to work again

Try to confront them with the issue but, make sure you will not get into a heated argument, you can inject your values through a more civil method coolly. Of course, they will deny it. But making them aware of the ills of what they are doing, will make a difference. At most times, people are into doing what is wrong because, nobody ever dared to open their eyes and see the evils of their acts. The next best step will be for you never to become just like them. Follow the honest and truthful ways which a good conscience dictates. This will be a much better world to live in if we all do just this.
