What do each of the following quotations mean to you in the present context?

(a) “The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject anything, is not whether it has any evil in it; but whether it has more evil than good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgement of the preponderance between them is continually demanded. ” Abraham Lincoln ( 150 words) CSE 2018

Ethics - RTI/Transparency

Some recent developments such as introduction of RTI Act, media and judicial activism, etc., are proving helpful in bringing about greater transparency and accountability in the functioning of the government.

However, it is also being observed that at times the mechanisms are misused. Another negative effect is that the officers are now afraid to take prompt decisions.

Analyze this situation in detail and suggest how this dichotomy can be resolved. Suggest how these negative impacts can be minimized. Mains 2015 (150 words)

@yummy Question No. 1


1.Though you covered in intro that politics + Ethics part of same coin. But can explicitly mention, what's your opinion. 

2. You have given more examples on politics without Ethics= disastrous.

3. (Politics + ethics) need more elaboration. 

overall good effort.
