♻️Administrative ethics

1. Transparency:
Administration must not only adhere to transparency laws but must also voluntarily disclose all information to the public so that corruption and mala fide decisions are prevented and public knows the true picture of the government. Woodrow Wilson rightly said ‘corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places.’

2. Integrity: Integrity is often called the value of values. It demands that administrators must strongly and uncompromisingly uphold the values of civil service. It is said that if integrity is there, nothing else matters…if integrity is not there, nothing else matters.
Civil servants like Ashok Khemka, Sanjiv Chaturvedi are shining examples of integrity and inspire present and future civil servants.

3. Objectivity: Civil servants must take decisions in an objective manner based only on facts and logic without the undue influence of bias or prejudice. For example, a civil servant’s advice to politicians should not be based on personal beliefs but facts of the matter.

4. Compassion: In an underdeveloped country with widespread poverty and hunger, civil servants must show compassion towards the weaker sections in order to fulfil their needs. For instance, if a needy beneficiary under a scheme does not have valid documents, an officer should not simply reject the application but make efforts to get him necessary documents and provide him due benefits.

5. Dedication to public service: Governance in a democracy involves many challenges and pressures and hence, requires utmost dedication on the part of civil servants so that they can strive to serve the people despite the challenges. Such dedication ensures that civil servants remain motivated throughout their long careers. Recent UN Award for community policing to Bastar police shows the dedication of the police department of the district.

6. Impartiality: Civil servants should treat everyone equally regardless of their religion, class, caste etc. This is essential for rule of law and maintains people’s faith in democracy. Article 14 and 15 of the Indian Constitution establish the right to equality for all citizens of India.

♻️Empathy and Compassion

✅Empathy is an act of feeling another person's pain in the same way as he/she is feeling. On the other hand, compassion is about walking the extra mile to alleviate the pain of the person in pain.

✅Empathy helps you feel the pain of someone emotionally, whereas the compassionate person always has an inherent compassionate view for other human beings. Empathy is specific to the situation, whereas compassion is a permanent quality of the person for all other human beings.
E.g. Empathy would make you feel the pain upon hearing that your friend has lost his mother and compassion is what Mother Teresa had about all human beings.

♻️Teleological ethics

✅Teleological ethics is the theory of morality that derives duty or moral obligation from what is good or desirable as an end to be achieved.

✅Consequentialism or teleological ethics is based on the premise that the morality of an action is contingent with the outcome of that action.

✅ It is also known as consequentialist ethics, it is opposed to deontological ethics (from the Greek Deon, “duty”), which holds that the basic standards for an action’s being morally right are independent of the good or evil generated

✅ Different types of Consequential ethics/ Teleological ethics include:-

a) Utilitarianism (Rule Utilitarianism, Act Utilitarianism)
b) Hedonism
c) Ethical Egoism
d) Ethical Altruism
e) Epicureanism
