#Ethics Changing Morals of the Society.

Parivarthan

19 Feb, 12:08


Moral Panic – A widespread feeling of fear and outrage among the public, often fueled by the media and political entities, that a particular individual, group, or phenomenon poses a significant threat to social norms or values.

Moral Repugnancy – A concept referring to actions, statements, or behaviors that are widely considered offensive, distasteful, or deeply unethical by societal standards, even if they do not necessarily violate the law.

Faustian Bargain – A situation where an individual or entity sacrifices their moral values, ethical stance, or long-term well-being in exchange for short-term gains or relief. In this context, OTT platforms trade their independence and creative freedom for government protection from criminal prosecution.

Isaiah Berlin famously distinguished between positive freedom and negative freedom in his 1958 lecture Two Concepts of Liberty.

Positive Freedom refers to self-mastery—the ability of individuals to control their own destiny, make rational choices, and fulfill their true potential. It is often linked with collective or individual self-realization, and in some cases, has been used to justify state intervention to help individuals achieve their “real” or “rational” will.

Negative Freedom, on the other hand, is the absence of external constraints or interference from others—especially from the state or other authoritative institutions. It is freedom from coercion, meaning that individuals can act as they wish, as long as they are not being forcibly prevented from doing so by others.

Isaiah Berlin’s concept of negative freedom, the absence of external restrictions, is lacking in India.

The gendered aspect of control is emphasized through legal double standards: courts excusing marital rape, labeling household labor as "a wife's love," and perpetuating "himpathy" (sympathy toward men at the cost of women’s suffering).

📊 Fiscal Health Index (FHI) – Simplified:
A tool by NITI Aayog to measure how well Indian states manage their finances. It checks:
1️⃣ Revenue: Are states earning enough (taxes, fees)?
2️⃣ Spending: Is money used wisely (development vs. debt payments)?
3️⃣ Debt: Can they repay loans without crisis?
4️⃣ Deficits: Are expenses exceeding income?

Goal: Identify fiscal strengths/weaknesses to help states improve policies and stability.
Data Source: Audited reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

🏆 TOP STATES (Fiscal Health Index 2025):

Achievers: Odisha (Score: 67.8), Chhattisgarh, Goa, Jharkhand
Why? High infrastructure spending, low debt, revenue surplus.

Front-Runners: Maharashtra, UP, Telangana, MP, Karnataka
💡 Strengths: Smart spending, tax growth, managed debt.

⚠️ STRUGGLING STATES: Punjab, Andhra, WB, Kerala
Issues: High debt, poor revenue, deficits.

🔍 Key Problems:

Kerala & Punjab → Wasteful spending, debt crisis.

WB → Weak revenue.

Andhra → High deficit.

Haryana → Rising debt.

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉

Hi everyone,

As we welcome 2025, here’s a powerful reminder to focus on building effective systems rather than just setting lofty goals. James Clear said it best:

This year, let’s work smarter and more intentionally. Here are some resources and tools to help you along the way:

📘 Books to Transform Your Habits and Productivity:

Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://amzn.to/3C3DuSO

Deep Work by Cal Newport: https://amzn.to/4fECWkk

("A 40-hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure." – Cal Newport)

📱 Apps to Stay Organized and Build Habits:

HabitKit: https://www.habitkit.app/

Google Tasks: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.tasks

🎥 Videos to Inspire You:
