Ethics and politics of public function

Abstract

In the history of the Peruvian and Latin American republics it is noticed that it is not yet possible to get out of social underdevelopment, there are still in many places of South America serious illiteracy, poverty, sickness and unemployment indexes in detriment of the economic and social progress of the peoples, which raises the question What to do? We consider that these social ills are the responsability of our political, judicial, social or other authorities,because they did not prioritize efficient public management, making political action compatible with public ethics. The ethics governance will allow a positive change to public management. Therefore, ethics as politics must be democratic and social tools of state power to get out of underdevelopment, understanding ethics as a guide to doing the right thing in search of values and principles that contain social peace, legal security, commom well-being, freedom and human dignity, that is to say, ethical values and ethical purposes that fight against a greedy and prejudiced society product of certain estimative illness that does not channel, nor prioritize the real change that must exist in all public management in favor of the villages.
