first paper..scared.. planning and governance.. dualism - public vs private..ethics vs policy..public policy as a product of public ethics.. public ethics as a branch out from normative ethics..looking at how things should be done than what ought to be done.. 3 parts to normative ethics - deontological and teleological (action based theories of morality) and virtue based ethical theories. deontological ethics - judge morality based on how well the set of rules are followed teleontological ethics - actions judged morally upon the consequences of the actions; John Stuart Mill - concept of harm, Jeremy Bentham - greatest happiness of the greatest number; similar to utilitarianism. while utilitarians weigh costs and benefits, teleological ethics look at a certain 'end' 2 models of democracy - representative and participatory model strengths and weaknesses. populist approach as the primary shortcoming of participatory democracy. representative model criticised to have too much centralised power. it is however, a better model in view of the diverse and pluralistic society. hence, the positive traits of participatory democracy can be incorporated into representative democracy through the principles of personalism, subsidiarity, pluralism and the application of Berger's postulate of ignorance, calculus of pain and calculus of meaning. this would provide a better way of answering questions about governance, consultation and public participation. as we examine policies and plans, it is important to examine the underlying assumptions and expectations to critically assess and understand the existing standpoint or biasness of the policy maker(if any). an example would that of Arnstein's ladder of participation. ranging from tokenism to delegation, the 8 levels of participation are formulated based on the model of participatory democracy which sees effective participation as effective control. .. sins of omission is almost equivalent to concept of indifference.. dennis ford's framework to integrate morality - experience, framework of interpretation (stories, traditions as a reference for interpretation) and power embodiment. tradition and politics are different sides of the same coin. governance and consultation are same sides of the same coin..to be done hand in hand. sigh..there are so much more. i do remember some. but applying it in the new zealand context.. i only know that much.
