    Obligations of Integrity

    1. As suggested by Waldo’s essay, the advice about ethical behavior in the public office is a set of “maps” divided into 12 different obligations: to the Constitution, to Law, to Nation or Country, to Democracy, to Organizational-Bureaucratic, to Profession and Professionalism, to Family and Friends, to Self, to Middle-Range Collectives, to the Public Interest or General Welfare, to Humanity or the World and to Religion (or to God). The difference between Waldo’s views compared to those of Barnard, Bailey and Appleby is that they think “safeguards” can satisfy ethical behavior in the public office. I think that Waldo’s advice is better because he lays everything out in numerous categories so that nothing gets overlooked, which in my opinion makes thing flow better and does not leave as much room for flaws.…

    Stephen L Carter Just Be Nice

    “Just Be Nice” is an article written by Stephen L. Carter. Carter is the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at the Yale Law School. This article was written in May 1998, and was a response to former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s remarks that the citizenry should give up their rude ways. Carter first touched on the fact that, in the Nineteen Sixties and seventies, some of his classroom time was spent in the study of manners and politeness, and no one objected to it. He believes that if these types of things were taught in school today, that there would be a public outcry. Furthermore, he believes that society today is different than what it was…
