issue 43 " To be a effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standars."
字数 440 第一篇望猛拍
When asked about whether a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards, people may find it hard to come to consensus due to their different experiences and conflicting values. The speaker thinks that because they are leaders, thus should set up an example for our general public to follow; while others think that as long as the leader performs well in his position, we can ignore his tiny immoral behaviors. From my perspective, I basically agree with the speaker.
On one hand, officials are required to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards, such as honesty and braveness, thus he can correctly arrange challenge. Our leaders must have these qualities and, in this way, they can bring profits to our country and citizens. For example, Zhou Enlai, the then premier of China, who had the highest ethical and moral standards, did his best to China and brought many profits to Chinese. From this, we know the advantages of the highest ethical and moral standards.
On the other hand, if public official have a bad ethical and moral standards, he will do bad to his country and let their citizens’ credits drop. When two leaders are run an election campaign, the one that have moral behaviors always loose may partly result from his opponent's storming on his moral behavior. The opponent may make the best use of his intelligence to win the election. Otherwise, the immoral scandals may be damages to both the leader himself and the general public. For example, after Nixon's Watergate scandal, a lot of people would not allow another Nixon to get on stage to be their leader and even loose credence on the leaders.
Moreover, s of the United States, that he had his job well done during his eight years' leadership, the unemployment had fallen to the deepest rate ever since the Great Depression. Certainly, his scandal ruined his public fame in people’s heart, but no one would accused him for his immoral behavior before his great contribution, instead, people still cherish him for his contributions that he hofficials are not moralist and they do not have to make a much higher standard than common people because no one is a perfect man. Bill Clinton, whose love affair still makes him uncomfortable before the media, is still considered to be an effective leader in these peaceful timead done during his time on stage.
In sum, from what has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that we should call for balance of whether a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards.
