The corruption takes place when the responsibility and trust is taken over by bribery and private interest. This leads to relaxation of basic social rules. What a responsibility is? In a history of philosophy the concept of responsibility is developed on moral virtues. As an ethical category, the responsibility is built on a concept that people perform their activity voluntarily and deliberately and simultaneously take into consideration their obligations towards the others. The knowledge what this performance should be like derives from many different sources - rules and standards which are included in collections of rules and principles such as codes of ethics. The example of such a code could be “Rules of Professional Ethics for Border Guard Officers” which state the principles of performance of professional duties. The proper performance requires not only performing these rules but also include moral sensitivity and internal belief that what we do is right and proper. The symptoms of that responsibility are developed by practicing virtues such as: prudence, fortitude, moderation, justice. They help to define properly the way of conduct, purpose and their consequences. A person who is responsible is guided by moral standards.
