Bribery can be initiated by either party to the transaction. The person paying the bribe can offer it, or the recipient can demand it. Determine which party is the least ethical one, the payor who offers the bribe, or the recipient who demands it

Students should be evenly split on this question. Many will try to find ways to justify the actions taken by either party, but the fact remains that whoever initiates the transaction is operating unethically. Payment of a bribe allows one party to gain an unfair advantage over others who either cannot or will not pay.
