This document discusses several major ethical theories that address how to determine right and wrong actions:
1. Virtue ethics focuses on developing good character and acting as a virtuous person would in any given situation. Thinkers like Aristotle, Confucius, and Socrates contributed to this view.
2. Consequentialism judges actions based on their consequences, with utilitarianism arguing an action is right if it produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
3. Non-consequentialist views like deontology and divine command theory argue actions should be judged based on adherence to rules, duties or divine laws rather than consequences. Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative is a key example of deontology

This document provides an overview of morality and ethics. It defines philosophy and explains how ethics relates to the study of morality. It outlines two approaches to studying morality - descriptive and philosophical. The philosophical approach includes normative ethics, which deals with standards of behavior, and meta-ethics, which analyzes the logic and reasoning behind ethical systems. The document also discusses where morality comes from, including objective theories based on supernatural beings or natural laws, and subjective theories that see morality as residing within humans. It explores the relationships between morality, law, religion and culture.
Ethics refers to moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity. Morals are principles of right and wrong established by a particular custom, religion, or other social authority. While morals are generally established by groups, ethics define an individual's character and can vary between individuals. Both play an important role in shaping human behavior and judgment.
This document discusses ethics, morals, and values. It defines ethics as the formal study of moral standards and conduct, addressing questions of good and evil.

It also discusses how principles, whether moral or ethical, influence behavior and come from teachings and experts seeking to understand human nature.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ethics, including:
- Moral intuitionism, which holds that moral judgments include an intuitive element that is naturally known to humans. There is disagreement over what exactly is intuited.
- The human person is continually searching for self-understanding and their moral consciousness develops over time. More specific moral precepts flow from the fundamental precept that humans should realize themselves as human.
- Love is the existential basis of morality and the form of all moral virtues and precepts. Moral development involves increasing awareness that acting according to precepts is acting according to love.
The document discusses debates around whether morality is universally valid or changes over
Ethics and morality attributes in public sector and more particularly, for the armed forces are prime requisites. The exercise of command and leadership need to be carried out in a fair and ethical manner. This presentation discusses the complexities and a suggestive proactive approach in this regard.
This document introduces several ethical theories: Kantianism focuses on treating people as ends rather than means; utilitarianism evaluates actions based on their consequences and maximizing happiness; social contract theory proposes that individuals implicitly consent to moral rules for the benefit of society; and virtue ethics emphasizes cultivating moral character through habitually doing right actions. The document provides examples applying these theories to scenarios around plagiarism, highway construction, computer viruses, marketing practices, and more.
Business ethics refers to codes of conduct that guide individuals in their dealings with others regarding what is right and wrong. While ethics are not enforced by law, they are important for both internal and external reasons. Organizations that comply with ethical standards and treat stakeholders like employees and customers with fairness, honesty and respect will be more successful in the long run. Managing ethics involves implementing techniques like codes of conduct, ethics committees and training programs to encourage ethical behavior throughout a company.
Deontological ethics focuses on adherence to moral rules and duties rather than consequences. It is based on the ideas of Immanuel Kant, who argued that an act is only right if it is done from duty and respects rational moral laws. For Kant, the only unqualified good is a good will, and morality requires acting only on principles that could become universal rules followed by all rational beings. He formulated the categorical imperative as a test of whether actions truly respect humanity as an end in itself.
Organizational ethics refers to applying moral choices guided by values and principles to organizational activities. An ethical organization has fairness, responsibility, purpose, and ease interacting with diverse stakeholders. Ethical ground rules foster honesty, responsibility, fairness, and participation. Managing ethics improves society, productivity, meaning, policies, reputation, and trust. Leaders are responsible for creating ethical organizations by confronting operational goals with moral obligations. Leaders must consider impacted values and interests and avoid harm. Building ethics requires leaders to develop influences, integrity, values, training, and plans for excellence. An organization's ethics reflect its leaders' ethics and skills.

The document discusses Pakistan's macroeconomic development objectives and performance over decades. It analyzes basic indicators related to population, GDP growth, economic contributions by sector, and human development. Pakistan's economy transitioned from primarily agricultural to greater roles of manufacturing and services. While growth occurred in most decades, Pakistan faces ongoing challenges including high illiteracy and poverty rates, as well as threats to continued growth and stabilization. The document calls for policies to improve competitiveness, reduce corruption and non-productive expenditures.
The Pakistani economy has experienced difficulties in recent years. It suffered from political disputes, population growth, and tensions with India that slowed growth. High inflation, especially above 9% in 2005, has also harmed the economy. More recently, widespread power outages have damaged industries, and the global financial crisis caused Pakistan's foreign reserves and balance of payments to decline sharply in 2008, resulting in an IMF bailout. The value of the Pakistani rupee against the dollar has also fallen over this period.

Ethics involves studying moral values and principles to determine right and wrong. It provides a systematic way to work through dilemmas and choose the best action. Moral standards deal with right and wrong human behavior and significantly impact people, taking precedence over other rules. They apply universally and impartially, guiding actions and eliciting emotions like guilt. Non-moral standards are unrelated to morality and lack ethical significance, including some rules, traditions, and laws depending on context. Moral standards differ from non-moral ones in their serious consequences, priority over other values, universal applicability, impartiality, and association with moral emotions.

Theories and principles of ethics and public governance copyMichael Kiganda
1) Ethics and integrity are important for good governance as they help control people's behavior and build trust between the public and officials. Upholding ethical principles like accountability, impartiality, and transparency is crucial for public servants.
2) There are two main theories of ethics - deontology, which judges acts based on adherence to moral rules, and utilitarianism, which assesses acts based on their consequences. Ethical dilemmas can arise when choices have benefits but may be considered unethical.
3) Unethical practices by officials, if left unchecked, can lead to corruption, which undermines governance and development. Promoting ethics requires adequate remuneration for officials as well as punishment for corrupt

Political Economy of a Post-Colonial State; Economic Development of PakistanShahid Hussain Raja
Despite all the ups and downs, Pakistan is now the 26th largest economy in the world in terms of Purchasing Power Parity, (44th largest in terms of nominal GDP). With per capita income of US$ 4550, Pakistan occupies at 140th place on this count in the world, thanks to her burgeoning population of 200 million people. Pakistan is one of the Next Eleven, the eleven countries that, along with the BRICs, have a potential to become one of the world's large economies in the 21st century. By 2050, with an estimated GDP of $3.33 trillion, Pakistan is expected to become world’s 18th largest economy, according to Goldman Sachs. However, this progress is not as impressive as it looks or should have been keeping her potential. Similarly her dismal social indicators, structural anomalies and income disparities leave much to be desired.
This presentation sums up the development experience—what Pakistan did marvellously, what it did marginally and where it failed miserably during her development journey. It ends with an the lessons other developing countries can learn from this development experience of Pakistan.

Let's Talk About It: Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tiredbkling
Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most challenging treatment-related side effects. Your level of cancer-related fatigue may vary from day to day or last for extended periods of time. Let's talk about how to address your fatigue in mindful ways so you can navigate the days ahead.
To help navigate current and future uncertainty and disruptive change, while effectively delivering on its mandate, UNEP has been implementing an institutionalized approach to strategic foresight and horizon scanning with the view to developing an anticipatory and future-oriented culture. This mirrors the growing interest and demand for foresight that is also reinforced by the United Nations reform agenda and the Secretary-General’s report on ‘Our Common Agenda’, which calls for all UN agencies, as well as all UN member states, to engage foresight practices more deeply and apply the derived insights to address global systemic risks. This process has culminated in the development of the present report “Navigating New Horizons – A Global Foresight Report on Planetary Health and Human Wellbeing”, produced by UNEP in collaboration with the International Science Council. The report calls for the world to pay heed and respond to a range of emerging challenges that could disrupt planetary health and wellbeing. It presents insights on eight critical global shifts that are accelerating the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity and nature loss and pollution and waste. Eighteen signals of change – identified by hundreds of global experts and distilled through regional and stakeholder consultations that included youth – offer a glimpse into potential disruptions, both positive and negative, that the world needs to keep a watching brief on. The report outlines how to create an enabling environment for better decision-making by creating a new social contract, embracing agile and adaptive governance, and increasing integrated accessible data and knowledge. The report offers a stark reminder of the interconnectedness and fragility of our systems in the 21st Century and warns that prioritizing short-term gains over anticipatory action and preparedness jeopardizes long-term prosperity and planetary health. However, it also points to the tremendous potential and human ingenuity that can be leveraged in the spirit of discovery and cooperation to deliver solutions across the triple crisis. The outcomes of the report will be integrated into UNEP’s strategic planning, potentially influencing the next UNEP Medium-Term Strategy, presenting an opportunity to consider expanding programmes in areas like artificial intelligence, new technology, and robotics in agriculture, prompting discussions on the level of engagement in these issues. This will ultimately serve UNEP in adopting a proactive posture and modernize tools for efficiency and cost savings. Furthermore, the report will serve as UNEPs contribution to the Summit of the Future. While it is not expected to substantively influence the Summit of the Future as such, it will serve to provide inputs into the preparatory discussions and events, including the High-level Political Forum, in the lead-up to the Summit of the Future as they relate to environmental dimensions.

near future but positive at immediate for political gains (e.g. re-election), such as
indiscriminate borrowing, creation of temporal jobs, indiscriminate reduction of interest rates,
favoring of few (mostly to fund campaigns). For instance, the British Prime Minister will always get whatever law, policy,
reform etc. it wants from both the Legislature and Executive arms, The American president
will get whatever it wants from the Legislature and the Executive because the American vice president is the head of the Legislature and it will be more autocratic if same party has a majority in the House of Representatives. And the head of the Judiciary is an appointment made by the Executive and the Legislature, a single ideology, which is a single person.
From the American and British established political systems, the believed existence of
separation of power is a delusion.
Active Digital Twins for Critical Infrastructure_ What & Why_.pptxStarr Long
Active Digital Twins are real-time virtual representations of real world spaces & data (people, vehicles, objects, weather, etc.) that provide actionable insights. In this talk we will explain why you would build one (versus a traditional dashboard) for Critical Infrastructure (Ports, Utilities, Airports, Emergency Dispatch Centers, etc. ) & how they differ from regular Digital Twins (that are focused on simulation). We'll show an example of an Active Digital Twin being used today- in the real world, for the Port of Corpus Christi- to manage Security Incidents & Cargo Flow (called OPTICS).
Active Digital Twins reduce the cognitive load it takes to process data while decreasing the amount of time to assess the overall context.
Active Digital Twins merge multiple systems into a single "pane of glass" and therefore provide faster & more accurate overall context assessment.
Active Digital Twins improve security, resiliency, safety, efficiency, & the environmental impact of critical infrastructure over traditional methods.
OPTICS is high-resolution, dynamic 3D Active Digital Twin of the Port of Corpus Christi (PCCA). OPTICS displays active vessel presence and movement information from ship transponders (AIS) and security information to provide a cohesive and tactical overview of Port situational awareness in real-time. The project is funded through a Port Security Grant from FEMA.
OPTICS is a custom solution built with The Acceleration Agency’s Project Gemini Active Digital Twin platform.

2. Introduction
What is morality
What are ethics
Why need them
What they entail
Conclusion
4. Ethics and morality are two interdependent but distinct
concepts at conceptual as well as at practical levels
They are the basic foundations of any individual, an
organization or a civilization for survival and growth.
Greek –character is destiny aptly describes this
fundamental truth
If you cannot stand for something, you will fall for anything
5. Personal norms and values about good and bad, your
beliefs about fundamentals
Your own behaviour and the one you expect from
others
Product of your life experience, knowledge and
training
Can differ from person to person even in one social
setup
However there are certain moral values which are
universal
6. Norms and values of an organization, normally
formalised in the shape of codes
Expected conduct and behaviour of the members
of that group
Can differ from personal moral values but not
substantially from universal morality in case of
ethical organizations
Up to a certain level, ethics and morality are the
same-honesty, integrity, transparency, fair play
are the universal norms
7. It is the highest value which distinguishes humans
from animals, a basic denominator not the highest
pedestal.
It is also a legal requirement -you signed an affidavit
to remain honest throughout your career.
It is also a social obligation-society expects highest
moral standards from its paid servants.
It is constitutional duty- you took an oath under a
constitution and all the service framework is based
on constitutional provisions, underpinning ethical
behaviour
8. 1.Ethical standards for public service should be clear
2.Ethical standards should be reflected in the legal
framework
3.Ethical guidance should be available to public servants
4.Public servants should know their rights and
obligations when exposing wrongdoing
5.Political commitment to ethics should reinforce the
ethical conduct of public servants
6.Decision making process should be transparent and
open to scrutiny
9. 7.There should be clear guidelines for interaction between the public
and private sectors
8.Managers should demonstrate and promote ethical conduct
9.managemen policies,procedures and practices should promote
ethical conduct
10.public service conditions and management of human resources
should promote ethical conduct
11.adequate accountability mechanisms should be in place within the
public service
12.approprite procedures and sanctions should exist to deal with
misconduct
(OECD Guidelines for Public Service )
10. Giving best of you
Ends do not justify means
Conflict of Interest and roles
Confidentiality of state secrets
Application of merit principle
Transparent public dealing
Personal morality vs. organizational ethics
Financial prudence and integrity
11. Public service is a trust; not putting in your best
efforts is a breach of trust
Working according to job description is your
duty, working beyond is ethics
Work is honour; salary is not its compensation
Life long learning is must to improve your
competency and giving best of you
12. Yes, they don’t ! Never fall prey to shortcuts
Only self-alienated person mixes the both
Do not rationalise your procedural lapses by
successful execution of a plan
Do go for positive interpretation of rules
provided the spirit of the legislation is intact
13. Do not deal with any case where your own, or
your friends' or family’s interest are involved.
Do not accept any assignment which conflicts
with your job description
If you want to do business/consultancy, seek
permission and take leave
14. There may be certain moral values which you prefer
but if they are in conflict with the organization, then
you have to follow these. It is ethical behaviour
You are bound by the rules of the game not by your
own moral values how high they may be
In case of conflict between your personal morality
and organizational ethics, the latter will be your
guiding principles not your own set of values
15. You are bound by the law to keep state secrets to
yourself
Access to Information Act is applicable to non-
classified information only
Loose talk about cases you deal is unethical
Giving off-the-record information to press is
also unethical and immoral
Settle your score by writing dissenting notes on
files ,not through press leakage
16. Always apply the merit principle-whether
recruiting, posting or appointing a person
Or making any decision about a career,
contract or award without any fear or favour
Non-discrimination-on the basis of
gender, religion, caste, except where bound by
law
Besides being right in itself, in these days of
judicial activism, media exposure and civil
society intrusion, your career and reputation
depends on your being ethical
17. Transparency in public dealing is the essence
of ethical behaviour
Withholding information with mala fide
intentions is as criminal as taking bribe
There is a thick red line between transparency
and confidentiality-the intention
18. Acceptance of gifts by public for any reason
is totally forbidden
Deposit them with the concerned ministry in
case given by the foreigners
Elaborate rules exit for purchasing these gifts
if you feel a fancy for any gift
Misusing public funds for personal gain or
use-avoid it
19. Ethical behaviour is contagious
Your example will be quoted and followed
Leave better examples to be followed
