Activity: In teams of 3, write a two-page brief (Times New Roman 12, single spacing) about one of the previous corruption measurements. Upload it to the class's Google Drive before midnight on November 11. Make sure to cover the following points:

• What is says about corruption.
• What it does NOT say about corruption.
• Who made it (both institution and, if possible, individual people who were involved).
• How it is made (methodology: is it a survey? is it a group of surveys? is it an academic study? any others that may apply).
• Where it is made and published. (Country, city, institution, and URLs you checked)
• A description of least two examples of its use. (Is it used in government documents? in laws? in academic papers? in non-academic papers? in political speeches? Any that apply).
• Answer this question: Is there a connection between what it says about corruption and how it is used? Does it make sense?
