I believe it is possible. Although it requires a lot of determination and self discipline. I have seen people who have done it this gives me the courage to say it is possible.

I think that if you find no way to make a difference and try to prevent the corruption then one should leave that place as it may eventually change his personality to the worse.

I do not believe. That was one of a dislike I noticed. He should have been a little bit affected by the corruption negatively.

That is one of the greatest challenge I felt Steve had to face. I don't think it's possible for that to be done in present day. Steve didn't let people around him get him corrupted.

Yes, I agree. The best decision to do.

It is possible. However, if you're not very disciplined it may be hard to keep being the good amongst corrupt people

Yes, it is possible. I know few people who work with corrupted colleagues while not being corrupted themselves. They are only a few and difficult to come by.

Nah I personally think it is impossible. Unless you have are super resolute and believe in doing everything justly like the protagonist, it is quite impossible to not be influenced by the people around you. Also, if everything does come down to violence, at that point, it's much better to resign. It's not worth it.

I know it is hard to live in such an environment where corruption has eaten deeply. However, I think biy is quite possible to live in such environment and not be corrupted by it. It depends on the person's resolve and the values they hold dear.

I believe it is possible to work in a corrupt setting without being corrupt. Although it will be challenging because everything seems to irritate you, one may stand strong with the appropriate mindset.
