Life is about choices. We deal with choices in our personal lives everyday. Most of us are guided by such questions as, “Is this the correct thing to do? Is this the right decision to make?” We are guided by our own sense of morality, i.e. the difference between right and wrong.
Ethics, ethical behaviour, and the culture of ethics starts with the leadership of an organization. Associates in an organization emulate the behaviour of the leaders of the organization. So, if the leaders behave unethically, then, it stands to reason that subordinates will, also.

Change army: The New Face of Modernizing Civil Service In EthiopiaDr. Gebre Miruts
The Ethiopian People’s Democratic Revolutionary Front (EPDRF) currently ruling party came to power after17years struggle for liberty and egalitarianism against the Military government. The May 1991 change of government (Socialist to Federal) was therefore a turning point for the civil service modernization. It was during the early days of the EPDRF that the government has tried to restructure the civil service system as a structural adjustment with the federal sentiment. It was with this intention that, the autonomous civil service institutions were also established and the civil servant was begun to serve with merit principles. It is believed that, a modernized and successful civil service institution is the cornerstone of government institutions to implement public policies and strategies. This in turn can comprise direct impact on the development performance of a nation. In recent years, the government has also introduced the Change Army scenario as a new modality of civil service modernity. However, some empirical evidence indicates that, though the new modality in the civil service (i.e., Change Army) is in place, the civil service effectiveness is inhibited by many administrative bureaucracies. Therefore, the objective of this research is to examine the practice of the Change Army scenario which is the new face of modernizing civil service in Ethiopia: the case of Addis Ababa. To examine the practice of Change Army as a new face to modernize the civil service, the relevant data were collected both from primary and secondary sources. Finally, the factors that impede the implementation of the change army were identified and the discussion was concluded that regardless of the institutional framework in-place and some positive changes cited, the application of the change army scenario was highly inhibited by misunderstanding and poorly leading the way, the application of change army as a tool to implement organizational goals was not uniform across the civil service institutions and the change army scenario is not internalized, the better performed one-to-five teams and individuals civil servants were not rewarded, lack of appraisal uniformity (some evaluate their day to day performance weekly hence select the highest performer and others used it monthly and even some of them conduct after six months). At its most important, celebration of success was almost not practiced. Hence, the reality of the change army concepts and goals need to be well communicated, follow-up should in place to make uniform the application of the new practice, civil service leaders and process coordinators have to internalize and play their active role in leading changes are among the major recommendations.

A Framework for Thinking Ethically
This document is designed as an introduction to thinking ethically. We all have an image of our better selves-of how we are when we act ethically or are "at our best." We probably also have an image of what an ethical community, an ethical business, an ethical government, or an ethical society should be. Ethics really has to do with all these levels-acting ethically as individuals, creating ethical organizations and governments, and making our society as a whole ethical in the way it treats everyone.What is Ethics?
Simply stated, ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on.
It is helpful to identify what ethics is NOT:
· Ethics is not the same as feelings. Feelings provide important information for our ethical choices. Some people have highly developed habits that make them feel bad when they do something wrong, but many people feel good even though they are doing something wrong. And often our feelings will tell us it is uncomfortable to do the right thing if it is hard.
· Ethics is not religion. Many people are not religious, but ethics applies to everyone. Most religions do advocate high ethical standards but sometimes do not address all the types of problems we face.
· Ethics is not following the law. A good system of law does incorporate many ethical standards, but law can deviate from what is ethical. Law can become ethically corrupt, as some totalitarian regimes have made it. Law can be a function of power alone and designed to serve the interests of narrow groups. Law may have a difficult time designing or enforcing standards in some important areas, and may be slow to address new problems.
· Ethics is not following culturally accepted norms. Some cultures are quite ethical, but others become corrupt -or blind to certain ethical concerns (as the United States was to slavery before the Civil War). "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is not a satisfactory ethical standard.
· Ethics is not science. Social and natural science can provide important data to help us make better ethical choices. But science alone does not tell us what we ought to do. Science may provide an explanation for what humans are like. But ethics provides reasons for how humans ought to act. And just because something is scientifically or technologically possible, it may not be ethical to do it.
Why Identifying Ethical Standards is Hard
There are two fundamental problems in identifying the ethical standards we are to follow:
1. On what do we base our ethical standards?
2. How do those standards get applied to specific situations we face?
If our ethics are not based on feelings, religion, law, accepted social practice, or science, what are they based on? Many philosophers and ethicists have helped us answer this critical question. They have suggested .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

34. Challenges of Ethics Erosion of Values Now in many cases, people do not feel any hesitation to take paper, pen or ink from the office to home for personal use. But once taking pen or pencil or ink from office to home for personal use was considered a serious mental pressure. Mr Mohammad Ali Ex, Chief Minister of Pakistan after submitting resignation letter from his office, he took pen of Bangabhaban with him beyond his knowledge. But when he had seen the pen in his pocket, he came back and returned it to Bangabhaban. If this is happened now a days, people might say it is done just as a administrative standbazi.
35. Materialistic social expectations Now demand of a family has increased. In a family it needs many things to run life. Once employee did not expect any color TV, car and or anything like that costly items. This has increased cost of living which compels in many cases to do unfair means. d. Unwanted intervention: Unwanted intervention also creates some impediments for maintaining ethical judgment of a person. e. Undue pressure: This is also responsible for demoralizing of ethical judgments.

37. Teaching of Hazrat Muhammed SA (Peace be upon him) An example is seen in the life of Prophet Muhammed sa (Peace be upon him) As the head of the Madina state, the Prophet once appointed Abdullah-bin –Laithai of Banu Jargan tribe as Amil (tax collector). At the time of depositing the collected zakat (compulsory tax on wealth from Muslims) before the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), Abdullah had divided that into two parts and said, “O Prophet (Peace be upon you)! One part of this is zakat money from people, and the other is the gift presented by people to me.” Hearing this, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, “Would the people have given the gifts to you if you had not been given the responsibility of collecting zakat?” Saying this, the Prophet of Islam instructed Abdullah to deposit the gifted amount along with the collected revenue to Baitulmal (government treasury), and the following morning issued an official circular prohibiting officials to receive any gift from people. He added further: “If anybody is entrusted with official responsibility, he will be given salary sufficient to meet his needs. If he receives anything beyond this, that would be a breach of trust”(Al-Buraey,1985:245). Another related Hadith (Teachings of Prophet Muhammed sa, (Peace be upon him) is that: “ He who receives bribe, he who offers bribe and the mediator between the two, are all equally doers of punishable offence”.

40. Way Ahea d Fairness : We should make decisions and act in a fair and equitable manner, without bias or prejudice, taking into account only the merits of the matter respecting the rights of affected people. Responsiveness: We are required to serve the legitimate interests of citizens, in a timely manner with care, respect and courtesy and without any special favor to a particular cast, creed, race and religion. Efficiency and Effectiveness : We are required to obtain best value for public assets deployed in or through public management, and to avoid waste in expenditure and the use of public assets.
41. “ No responsibility of a Government is more fundamental than the responsibility for maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior by those who conduct the public business. There can be no dissent from the principle that all officials must act with unwavering integrity, absolute impartiality, and complete devotion to the public interest. This principle must be followed not only in reality but in appearance. For the basis of effective government is public confidence, and that confidence is endangered when ethical standards weaken or appear to weaken”. President John F. Kennedy, April 27, 1961.
42. Concluding Remarks It goes without say that, we are required to observe a number of responsibilities of good citizenship, in relation to honesty , lawfulness, and the prevention of corruption. Discipline and management practices must be objective, fair, and reasonable. Perhaps most important of all, Our salaries must reflect the cost of an adequate standard of living, both to minimize individuals' temptation to corruption, and to maximize the ability to attract and retain talented officers in the profession who can make a contribution to the society. The promotions also may be ensured after a certain duration of time as per rules equitably without prejudice.

Editor's Notes
At this point, the trainer should explain the meaning of ethics and facilitate discussion.
Each of these issues will be discussed to show how they contribute to the ethical crisis facing people and law enforcement officers. Reference: 1998 Michael C. Braswell, Belinda McCarthy, and Bernard McCarthy, Justice, Crime and Ethics , 3 rd ed., Cincinnati, Ohio: Anderson Publishing.
What is your purpose? What kind of person do you want to be? Have a balanced amount of pride-not too much or too little. Be patient. Persist, even when it is not popular. Have perspective-choose your battles and make priorities.
Additional principles. Be just, truthful, and trustworthy. Be morally courageous and do the right thing in the face of hardship. Exercise autonomy and make your own ethical choices. Be benevolent-kind. Reference: 1998 Michael C. Braswell, Belinda McCarthy, and Bernard McCarthy, Justice, Crime and Ethics , 3 rd ed., Cincinnati, Ohio: Anderson Publishing.
Raise the question of whether we can do anything about the ethical crisis.
