Corruption is a harmful force that hinders government and represses
individual in many countries throughout the world. It is generally a
word used to qualify the existence of common social ills that affect the
entire aspects of our society.
Victimization is the process of being
victimized, becoming a victim or being unfairly punished. Victimization
means making someone a group of people to suffer unfairly because you
do not like them, their opinions or something that they have done. The
trauma of victimization is a direct reaction to the aftermath of unfair
punishment. Victims suffer tremendous amount of physical and
psychological trauma. The physical injury suffered by victim may be as
apparent as cuts, bruises or broken arms and legs. It is common for
victims to be fatigued, unable to sleep or have increased or decreased
appetite.
Many victims believe that the stress caused by
victimization endangers or exposes them to physical or psychological
problems later in life.
In our society, people are victimized because
of or for many reasons. In the ancient days and still in some places
women are being victimized after their husbands' death and when they are
unable to give birth to children. Women are often socially and
psychologically victimized in the absence of their husbands and
children. Men who are impotent or childless suffer victimization by not
allowing them to comfortably air their opinion in their fellow men’s
social gathering.
When one is denied of his rights and possessions
and is maltreated for no justifiable reasons, he is being victimized.
Such a person often tries to avoid society and especially the company of
his victimizers or those opposed to his way of life.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Nations,
Organizations, Institutions and individuals especially those mentioned
in the novels understudy participate in or experience corruption in
different ways that are often overt or covert. Euphemisms are often used
to make corruption and/or victimization less offensive or palatable in
the society. Often, their perpetrators are ―honourable‖ or important
people, in short ―sacred cows‖ in the society—Those people ―respect‖ or
fear to confront. This study intends to explore the terminologies the
culprits invent and often use to hoodwink the society.
