Summary/Abstract: In carrying out this study we started from the continuous experience of some essential interrogations „Why are we, Romanians, considered among the most corrupt in the world?”, „are we tributes to mental paradigms specific to the historical past that the Romanian people have gone through?”. The answer to such questions can only be extremely complex, so honesty compels me not to pretend that I could include this research theme in a few answers, which also suggest that it is the ultimate truth. Without proposing an exhaustive study, through this approach I intend to highlight some connections between the mentalities of Romania and the historical evolution of crime in the field of corruption, a crime that profoundly affects the current generation, but especially future generations. In this study I consider focusing on the register of social subjectivity, determined by the mentalities with important imprint in Romanian society.
