Ethics and politics: Spot the difference


Ethics has to do with choosing the best options and living the best possible way. Ethics has to do with our own freedom and how we deal with it. Ethics helps us to want the good things of life. It has to do with improving ourselves, wanting to be or become better human beings. Ethics helps to answer: How do I want to be?

The aim of poilitics is to organize the social affairs in order to let each member of the society to choose what is convenient or good for them.
Politics trys to coordinate what the whole does with its freedom in order to be beneficial for all.
In politics the results of the actions taken are important, no matter what for.
Politics' aim is that the majority of the whole work in armony.

From ethics... The ideal political organization:

a) It has to start from freedom, and it has to respect social freedom. It also has to regulate the social resposibilities.

b) It has to treat and consider the people as human kinds!
That's be able to stand on their shoes. Justice.

c) To be on other's shoes has to do with recognize them as equals and their dignity. It has to assist those who suffer within the society.


FREEDOM, JUSTICE and ASSISTANCE are the three fundamental pillars for an ethical and political organization.

The fragmentation of the world do nothing but hold up the possible solutions.

The break of the armony and balance caused by the selfish self-interests of the man make the situation worst, and blind them at the extreme of not knowing when to stop, where's the limit.



"Sólo cuando el último árbol esté muerto,
el último río envenenado,
y
el último pez atrapado,
nos
daremos cuenta
que
no se puede comer dinero"
