Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We live in an age that demonstrates the powerful need for ethics in government. Democracy is a privilege that carries with it important responsibilities for the people and their representatives. As we look back on this era and determine the future of this nation, Dr. Long Thompson's book will be a resource for Americans who are seeking ways to secure our democracy and our future as a nation." Congressman John Lewis, Georgia's 5th District. Ethical leadership, steeped in integrity and fairness, matters. The future of our nation and our world depends upon the quality of America's character. In this uncompromising, absorbing look at our government and society today, Jill Long Thompson persuasively argues that we all have a meaningful role to play in shaping America's character and future. The citizenry, as well as their elected officials, are responsible for protecting fairness of participation and integrity in elections, as well as in the adoption and execution of laws. In this troubling time when the public is losing trust and confidence in our government, Jill Long Thompson shows us a bipartisan way forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions of ethics in public administration are increasingly in the news, where commentators seem too often detached from the sources of those ethics and their application to current political conflicts. American Public Service: Constitutional and Ethical Foundations examines public administration ethics as contextualized by constitutional, legal, and political values within the United States. Through case studies, hypothetical examples, and an easy-to-read discussion format, the authors explore what these values mean for specific duties of government managers and for the resolution of many contemporary issues confronting public sector officials. Key Features: • Describes the philosophical underpinnings of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights • Identifies the values that anchor and define what government and public administrators should do. • Indicates where these values fit into a framework for moral decision-making in the public sector, and how they apply to discussions of current controversies in public administration. • Written by authors with rich experience as both lawyers and academics in public administration programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents three systematic methods for analyzing public policy issues: utilitarianism, deontology, and prudent pragmatism. It argues for the superiority of prudent pragmatism to the other two approaches. These are described in Part One, together with substantive American values which form the assumptons of ethical analysis. Part Two contains an historical discussion of six public policy areas and presents two detailed case studies in each area. Each case is analysed from the standpoint of utilitarian, deontological, and prudent pragmatic ethics, and an effort is made to show why prudent pragmatism produces the most satisfying results

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion, capital punishment, gambling, homosexual rights, pornography, physician assisted suicide, and sex education are among the most controversial issues facing public policymakers today. All involve controversial questions of first principle that render public policy no less than legal sanctions of right or wrong, or morality policy. Mooney brings together top researchers in the field to explore the unique characteristics and politics of morality policy. The result is a definition of the current state of knowledge in the field and a guideline for future observation.

Download or read book American Values written by Laurence O'Rourke and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the measurement of three values that scholars consider critical values in American political culture. My research employed in-depth interviews to explore how individuals think about the values of limited government, moral traditionalism and equality. The research used the values battery of questions in the National Election Studies (NES) as a starting point. The NES survey, funded by the National Science Foundation, has asked a battery of questions related to values for decades, providing a comprehensive time series measurement of the values of the public in the United States. The research described in this book advances the study of public opinion by systematically evaluating the sources of instability in the measurement of values. Chapter 1 reviews research on how values and ideology structure public opinion. What are the most important values for understanding public opinion? Do core values serve as an anchor for many specific attitudes? The next three chapters explore how individuals think about each value. Chapter 2 explores the value of limited government through in-depth interviews. What is limited government? Should the scale of government be expanded to address social problems or guarantee jobs? What does the public believe about why and how government power should be limited? Whether a respondent used an individual or a social frame of reference to think about limited government often affected how they answered this question. Consideration of different types of government programs or parts of the government also could affect how individuals answered. Chapter 3 discusses moral traditionalism. A number of questions are addressed, including the following: Are moral beliefs absolute? Should different moral systems be tolerated? What is tolerance? Should morality change with the times? How important are traditional family ties? Are new lifestyles leading to the breakdown of society? Individuals were conflicted when they considered different meanings of what tolerance was and who it should be applied to. Chapter 4 explores the value of equality through discussions of many specific questions, including: What is equality? Would society be better off with more equality? Can equal rights be pushed too far? For equality, individuals were often conflicted between different dimensions of equality, including equality before the law, equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. Chapter 5 provides conclusions on why the public is so conflicted about their own core values. How do people think about and define values as they answer survey questions? What are the sources of instability in the values expressed by the public and what are the implications for American politics and public policy? About the Author Laurence O'Rourke is a public policy consultant at ICF, where he engages in multidisciplinary research on transportation, energy and environmental policy issues. He writes about a range of issues associated with public policy and governance. He is also the author of the book "Great Debates in American Political Science" as well as numerous journal articles, conference papers and reports on a range of public policy issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These new essays prepared to commemorate the centennial of the National Institute of Social Sciences have been carefully crafted to deal with an overriding concern of our time--those elements in political rule that go beyond legal rights and responsibilities into the moral requirements of effective governance. The principal theme of this book is presidential leadership. The presidency personifies government authority, including moral authority. In the first part of this book most of the essays argue that the moral authority of leaders depends on high personal standards as well as policy outcomes. The second segment on the rule of law and character raises considerations not limited to the presidency. Character and the authority that derives from it are demonstrated most effectively not by what someone does in his or her personal life, but in the moral values of the causes espoused and effectiveness in pursuing them. In the realm of international affairs, governmental leadership must wrestle with the moral and constitutional guidelines known as "reasons of state." Under what circumstances is it morally acceptable for a leader or government to practice deception upon the citizenry, to overthrow other governments, to bomb civilians? Many contributors raise the issue of what permits a government to take actions that would be immoral or illegal in individuals or groups. The final segment expands and deepens this theme by exploring the work and role of non-governmental agencies that influence both leaders and citizens in the public arena. In short, at a period that brings to a close a period in which the presidency has become more visible as well as more prominent, this collective effort sheds new light on classic themes. It will be an invaluable guide as we enter the new century. The contributors include an illustrious galaxy of public officials and political scientists, including Madeleine K. Albright, Judith A. Best, Betty Glad, C. Lowell Harriss, Travis Beal Jacobs, Ruth P. Morgan, Stanley A. Renshon, Donald L. Robinson and William vanden Heuvel. Moorhead Kennedy is author of several works on terrorism and recipient of the Medal of Valor from the Department of State. R. Gordon Hoxie is founding president of C.W. Post College, chancellor of Long Island University, and founding president of the Center for the Study of the Presidency. He is author and editor of many books, and founding editor of Presidential Studies Quarterly. Brenda Repland studied at the University of Oregon and Harvard Business School. She was formerly corporate account manager at Digital Equipment Corporation, and current president and managing partner of the Moorhead Kennedy Group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Michael Sandel takes up some of the hotly contested moral and political issues of our time, including affirmative action, assisted suicide, abortion, gay rights, stem cell research, the meaning of toleration and civility, the gap between rich and poor, the role of markets, and the place of religion in public life. He argues that the most prominent ideals in our political life--individual rights and freedom of choice--do not by themselves provide an adequate ethic for a democratic society. Sandel calls for a politics that gives greater emphasis to citizenship, community, and civic virtue, and that grapples more directly with questions of the good life. Liberals often worry that inviting moral and religious argument into the public sphere runs the risk of intolerance and coercion. These essays respond to that concern by showing that substantive moral discourse is not at odds with progressive public purposes, and that a pluralist society need not shrink from engaging the moral and religious convictions that its citizens bring to public life.

Book excerpt: Learn to recognize and assess the strengths and weaknesses of moral arguments in the making of public policy with ETHICS AND POLITICS: CASES AND COMMENTS. You'll find coverage of the ethics of process: the morally questionable means--violence, deception, and corruption--that are most commonly used by public officials, as well as the ethics of policy: the valuable but often competing ends that public officials strive to achieve. Conflicting values, scarce resources, and stakes as high as life and death combine with the duties of public office to make choices among policy goals controversial and morally difficult. Each ethical issue is paired with case studies in contemporary American politics. For example, the controversy over the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay; or issues during the campaign and election of 2004.

Book excerpt: How Can we Fix American Culture and Politics Gone Wildly off Track? Saving America's Grace presents a progressive moral values framework that challenges typically held assumptions about family values, "culture wars," and morality in politics today. You will discover: -What it takes to create happy homes, healthy souls and well-adjusted children-Why a new moral focus for American politics is crucial-How to rectify a culture gone terribly awry Author Michelle Deen tackles taboo topics-family, religion, morality and politics-with intelligence, aplomb, and a powerful sense of purpose. Her manifesto for a better America calls for integrity of character and humanistic values, not the authoritarian values embraced by today's Republican Party or the fundamentalist sexual mores culture warriors obsess over. Saving America's Grace redefines what it means to be a moral society by articulating the progressive values that are the heartbeat of America. It's a clarion call for the Left to rally together around shared moral principles and boldly move forward with clear moral conviction for a better America.www.michelledeen.com
