There is no longer a society in Enga or PNG still living uncivilized, and the photograph here somewhat seem a society in the past. People nowadays have changed the way they live, having entertained the western influences engulfing all parts of the country: every societal protocol, the landscapes, seashores have all been transformed to something different. Consequently, it is very shocking to hear from most people that they would find it really hard to practice culturalisms. However, it is not a thing of the past as you might imagine, these things were withnessed by most of the middle-ages living in the province now..That is how, Enga is changing so is PNG... ..

“Good” corruption in Enga: is corruption a culturally relative phenomenon?
At a recent community forum in the Southern Highlands of PNG a participant said, “We don’t need any more bad corruption in the Southern Highlands. We need good corruption like they have in Enga.” This person went on to describe the public services delivered personally by some high profile politicians in Enga as “good” corruption, as opposed to the “bad” corruption in the Southern Highlands, where services are hardly seen to be delivered at all (at least in the view of this forum participant).

This statement highlights the challenges involved in applying the modern concept of corruption to societies with social structures dramatically different to that of developed societies, such as OECD countries.

The definition of corruption used by Transparency International is, “The abuse of entrusted power for private gain.” This definition is approximately shared by all international organizations such as World Bank and the UN, as well as bilateral donors such as AusAID. The common feature of the definition used by all is the separation of public and private realms. But as one delves into the application of this definition in a practical sense in societies such as PNG, an uncomfortable question arises: what about societies where the accepted differentiation between what is public and what is private is hotly contested?
