Kennedy's Perspective: A Constitutional Ethic Of Public Service

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, into one of the wealthiest families in the United States. Universally called "JFK," he became a millionaire at the age of 21 when his father gave him one million dollars, but politics and sports were of much more importance to him. He loved touch football, tennis, golf, sailing, and swimming. JFK attended Princeton University and Harvard, graduating from there cum laude. He attended Stanford University business school before serving in the U.S. Navy. He was a naval hero during World War 11 when his PT boat was cut in half and he helped to save the lives of his crew. Returning after the war, he was elected to Congress in 1946 and to the Senate in 1948 and

The duty of government is described in John Adams as to, “inculcate the principles of humanity, charity, industry, frugality, honesty, sincerity.” (224) In summation, the government’s ideals ought to be to instill virtue to its citizens with persistent instruction. However, Politics takes command of government when men disagree on when, how, and to what extent those virtues ought to be instilled. Politics controls people, which brings a motivation for corruption; and at the same time, people control politics, allowing that corruption to become manifest. However, politics cannot be corrupt on it’s own, rather through its composition of men and their thoughts contributes to its corruption. Politics will only be corrupt if those composing it

John F. Kennedy’s use of rhetorical deceives in his speech over raising of steel prices was not only formal, but very effective as well. Kennedy was able to convince the readers all the negatives that come from the raising of steal prices during a time where America was in distress, and how they did not do their part in helping. He was able to formally convince his audience of this by using the rhetorical devices like, ethos, pathos, and logos.

”…men whose abiding loyalty to their nation triumphed over all personal and political considerations, men who showed the real meaning of courage and a real faith in democracy men who made the Senate of the United States something more than a mere collection of robots dutifully recording the views of their constituents” (Kennedy 64). From 1978 to 2002 the United States House of Representatives had a member who upheld what Kennedy said — Tony Hall. Tony Hall risked his career to take stands based on the dictates of good, rather than the dictates of polls, interest groups

Christopher Hood, discusses in his article, A Public Management for All Seasons, three types of value systems employed in a critique of a public system, sigma type values, lambda type values, and most important to this analysis theta type values.( Hood, 1991, pg. 10) A Public Management for all Seasons. Public Administration, 69(1), P.3-19. Theta values, Hood describes, as values centered on “honesty, fairness, and mutuality through the prevention of distortion, inequity, bias, and abuse of office.” (Hood, 1991, pg.11) These values are not only inline with but shared by the United States Justice system, who like the theta value system, measures success and failures by consent of the public, earned legitimacy, and due process. (Hood, 1991, pg.

Edward M. Kennedy, “Heir to Camelot”. Edward Kennedy widely known as Ted Kennedy was a Senator from Boston, Massachusetts. He was a strong, powerful voice for liberals. After all his brothers’ deaths, he was expected to express and carry out their beliefs in politics. Ted Kennedy had become the heir of Camelot.

The Founders of the United States had strongly feared a tyrant government rising to power again after the American revolution; therefore, they adopted The Constitution of the United States in the eighteenth century. The Constitution had offered citizens many basic liberties and protections from an overreaching and powerful government, it did not, however, offer a civil service system for the government to follow based upon merit. According to Naff, Riccucci, & Freyss, “Although a civil service has been long feature of the government, a career civil service based upon merit had, until the twentieth century, been a historical novelty” (2014, p. 4). Thus, reform efforts of the American civil service system can be dated back to the very beginning of when the United States was first formed (Naff et al., 2014).

And “Respect for Law” Kennedy mention that we, humans, are must live with the law, or the society will break down. “We must come forward with the answer of how a nation, devoted to freedom and individual rights and respect for the law, can stand effectively against an implacable enemy who plays by different rules and know only the law of the jungles.” By exposing the supreme power of law, Kennedy argued that racial segregation is fundamentally at odds with American values. Kennedy tried to help African-American and White-American to prevent from violence and get help with compliance. Kennedy believes they will not threaten nor terrorize, he also believes they will try to help out. Kennedy tried helping Africa-American people much like Lincoln did after Lincoln fought to release them from

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, nicknamed Jack, was born on May 29, 1917. He was the second of 9 to be born to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy and Joseph Kennedy Jr. While Jack was at Harvard in 1937, his father became the United States Ambassador to England. That sparked Jack’s interest in politics and world affairs. From then on, he strived to learn more about government and current events. When Jack was a senior at Harvard, WWII began. He wrote a thesis about why Great Britain was not ready for the war with Germany, which went on to be published as a book called Why England Slept. Jack’s career in politics, though, began after college in 1946 when he was elected to the eleventh congressional district in Massachusetts. As a Democrat, he then served six

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." John F. Kennedy's quote perfectly reflects my views. Civic duty is not only important for the betterment of self, but for the community. I firmly believe in returning service to my community in exchange for being a member of it. I am of the opinion that volunteer work is an important aspect of civic duty.

I have been studying the political philosophy of Robert F. Kennedy, who I believe represents the political ideal we must strive for as Americans. Though one may not share the same political beliefs as him,

Centuries ago, America created a foundation of freedom and has maintained its existence, setting an example for the rest of the world. The United States’ flag encourages individuality and expression and attached to these established rights are responsibilities and the unavoidable possibility of conflict. Because not every American shares the exact same values, these privileges are packaged with complications- issues that demand answers and solutions. An example of such a problem is whether or not elected government officials should be able to opt out of certain duties. Despite the upset this may cause some people, a government official should not be allowed to opt out of any job duties because the consequences may involve an American citizen’s

I chose two passages that I have linked together since they go hand in hand. The reason why I chose this as my first passage is because it has a melody tune and a playful back and forth language: “Miss Kennedy sauntered sadly from bright light, twining a loose hair behind an ear. Sauntering sadly, gold no more, she twisted twined a hair. Sadly she twined in sauntering gold hair behind a curving ear. ----It’s them has the fine times, sadly then she said (Ep. 11. 82-5).”

Our class has spent this semester developing insights and creating definitions of the entity we are committed to build future careers around. In the past weeks, we have collaboratively arrived at various definitions that incorporate elements derived from these multidisciplinary-informed investigations. A longitudinal analysis of these group efforts understandably demonstrates sufficient congruity among descriptors ( Activity-Motive-Purpose-Outcome ) to allow construction of a preliminary composite definition of our subject as “ outcome driven behaviors motivated by and directed towards building social capital and encouraging self-actualization”. This global definition encompasses a range of diverse activities ( such as teaching a recent immigrant a new language or mounting a multinational response to an emerging epidemic ) that are generally accepted as falling within the behavioral parameters of the profession we aspire to .
