The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publishes a Summary of Ethics Rules. One of its statements is "Employees shall not use public office for private gain." Some counties view using public office for private gain to be corruption, to others, it may be the status-quo.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• Researchdefinitions of the term "corruption."
• Stateyour opinion on using public office for private gain (is it right or wrong?), and state to which classical ethical theory your outlook aligns.
