what is the difference between corruption and bribe?

Hello everyone,
I get where you are going, and I think it all needs cleaned up on both sides of isle. You couldn't get a job in Wal-Mart with the criminal records these men in women have that are making laws for us today.

I think both are type of evil act.
Taking Bribe is an ACT, when a lot of people start taking bribe, the SYSTEM is called Corruption. both are related each other. Or in other words bribe the only means to get your way out in a corruption riddled system.

Corruption is the misuse of public power, office, or authority for private benefit—through bribery, extortion, influence peddling, nepotism and fraud.
Bribery, a form of corruption, is an act implying money or gift given that alters the behavior of the recipient. Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.

A government servant who uses public resources for his own benefit then such an act is called as corruption.
A bribe is kind of corruption, when a government salaried servant in his office enforced public to pay him some money for their problem clearance.
