\u00a0 Can you elaborate on why you agree or disagree?\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I certainly agree that he was an ethical leader.\u00a0 I followed his role as President of the United States, and saw that he valued service above self-interest.\u00a0 Yes, that often resulted in looking less effective now and then, but from what I saw, it was consistent with his desire to serve.\u00a0 He was open even to those who ran against him, as Gerald Ford\u2019s son notes at Jimmy\u2019s funeral.\u00a0 (He shared that Gerald and Jimmy became good friends, even though Carter had gotten more votes on the election than Ford.)\u00a0 Even when President, he showed he had principled leadership, and valued decency and justice as well as caring for others.\u00a0 Because of the complexity of US Presidency, his caring became even more obvious when he developed the Carter Center.<\/p>\n<p>When he was no longer President, he decided to maintain his desire to serve, and value all, and created an impressive goal for the Carter Center. \u00a0 He developed an organization to work to help even powerless people, to have them have skills, knowledge, and resources to improve their own lives.\u00a0 This improvement included disease prevention, democracy increase, and human rights safeguard.<\/p>\n<p>He also was known to commit to truth, not lying, and to the importance of improving oneself, as well as helping others do so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>What aspects of public life today are different from say, the 1960 or 70s when Carter was active, politically?\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When he was active politically, he was still learning how to serve others.\u00a0 He also absorbed values through his church to care for others and oneself, and to promote peace.\u00a0 He did now and then make a decision that did not turn out as he expected, and he was seen as not one to reelect.\u00a0 As our country grew, much energy went to divisiveness and race division.\u00a0 But gradually we as a country tried to bring all together. \u00a0 Carter\u2019s decision did contribute some of that.<\/p>\n<p>Carter\u2019s involvement with his work at the Center, on the other hand, showed what he had learned, in order to be more effective with his goals.\u00a0 His dealing with helping people in various countries, including our own, created wide efforts to help others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>Does public service motivation impact ethical values?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I feel it does if it focuses not only on oneself, and one\u2019s ability to lead and serve, but also on others, especially those in need.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things we learn from good servants is something we can learn from Jimmy.\u00a0 Power is often maintained to be desired by many.\u00a0 But Carter slowly showed this was not why he served.<\/p>\n<p>He seemed to know that some power was appropriate. But also it seems he also felt that respect for others, and even care for others, was essential. \u00a0 In no time that I saw him, did he show he was worth bowing to.\u00a0 Rather, he could be seen as so humble, so many times.<\/p>\n<p>This should be a model for all in public service.\u00a0 It is a real service.\u00a0 Yes, they should make sure no one violates the ability to provide the service required.\u00a0 But they should also care not only for themselves, but definitely, also for others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>What are specific ways in which Carter\u2019s life can serve as an example for young public servants today?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One major thing I feel is to be sensitive to bringing people together, not apart.\u00a0 This can be a challenge now and then, but they should also be sure to build the skills needed to meet the goals of their position.\u00a0 But public service is service to others, to those who depend on the service.\u00a0 Public ethics lets the public servant value being socially constructive, idealistic, altruistic, and creative.\u00a0 This will enrich our world and hopefully bring us all closer together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b>Any other thoughts on ethics and public service?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I feel someone in public service deserves to be comfortable with themselves, and value themselves.\u00a0 I also feel, however, that real public service is not to just focus on power.\u00a0 It is not being seen as needing to have others feel less about themselves, so that the servant can be seen as more perfect. \u00a0 Real service is reaching out to all, especially those for whom they are assigned, to help them grow and perform.\u00a0 And it is good that they did this also for others.\u00a0 Jimmy Carter definitely showed that this was good to do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. K.T.
