βœ…Gs-2 : IR
βœ…Gs-4 Ethics- International Ethics

πŸŽ–Humiliation as a theme in foreign policy

⚜️The central point- In international relations (IR), some states often deny the legal status of others, stigmatising their practices or even their culture. Such acts of deliberate humiliation at the diplomatic level are common occurrences in modern diplomacy.

⚜️Impact? = National pride is hurt-> Leads to aggressive Nationalism- any historical examples?- Yes- Hitler- and Nazis obsession with German pride.

⚜️The author feels that India does not have such national humiliations and whatever humiliations we had are self inflicted
or different humiliations affected different social groups unequally .

⚜️In present times- China uses its historical humiliations to build national pride. Should India take the same stance?- Author says No as it leads to jingoism. Also difficult due to inequalities.

βœ…Gs-4 : Ethics- Leadership

πŸ”°Importance of political leadership- Personality cult in shaping the role of institutions- Is it a good or bad trend?

πŸ…ΎοΈAns : In today’ democracies, we, citizens, elect individuals to represent us, to talk on our behalf. In this way, political leaders embody the beliefs, wishes, and will of populations, and must act as citizens’ representative

βœ…How can political leaders build institutions?

πŸ…ΎοΈThey do so by being an embodiment of moral values- They should be role models

πŸ…ΎοΈMorals are often subjective in nature- they can have opposition- It leads to ethical dilemmas-

πŸ…ΎοΈThus, ethical dilemma represents the search for the good, which implies to have bad consequences on others, or at least, on a part of the population.

πŸ…ΎοΈIn short , whatever stance one takes, there will be consequences in a multicultural society- Leaders shape the institutions by bringing more people on board to accept that change

#Ethics

βœ…Gs-4 : Ethics- Moral responsibility.

πŸ”ΊDo you think there is a moral responibilty for famous personalities in public life?

Ans : The social advantage public figures have in life is wider access and avenues to communicate. Such communication cannot be insensitive to one's inabilities. While trying to correct a person's mistake is totally fine, it shouldn't happen at the expense of one's dignity.

βœ…Does it mean one should have no freedom of speech ? That certainly is not what is advocated.

Whenever I read this, I think about the word: collective consciousness

What is the impact of this collective consciousness? - it is the guru that teaches us lessons- it is the collective experience of the mistakes each one of us makes... And if we are open to learn from them, a new door always opens and let's the light in... no matter how dark it seems ...

We are what we learn from others and I thank every guru in my life on this day- Happy Guru purnima to all- let this day be a reminder to listen to what others have to teachπŸ™πŸ™‚
