Ethics of Private Gain and Public Experience

Ethics of Private Gain and Public Experience

Jhryn Cayle M. Buado Ericson C. Barillos

Private Gain

or "personal financial gain" means any money, forbearance, forgiveness of indebtedness, gift, or other thing of value given or offered by a person seeking to influence an official act that is performed in the course and scope of the public duties of a public officer, member of the general assembly, local government official, or government employee.

Private Gain

Private gain means any direct financial benefit that is different than any financial benefit members of the general public or a significant group of the general public would gain in similar circumstances.

Public Experience

There has been considerable scientific debate on how to make the public sector function in the best way, and in particular there has been a debate on the role of government, of regulatory institutions and of good governance in the developing world.

The “others” that are the carriers of the duties and obligations to provide us with our legal and moral rights, freedoms and welfare are usually understood as the state or the public sector. The state is not only in the ethical theory of positive and conventional rights the foremost provider of rights and welfare, but the state is also the main provider of rights as understood by most people and in most circumstances

Thank You!
