Harold Seidman on “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the role of the executive within governmental agencies according to Seidman. In Harold Seidman’s text “Politics, Position and Power: the Dynamics of Federal Organization” (1997) he discusses “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality” (Chapter 8). While there is an executive hierarchy within the government agencies, influence and position are often dependent on the specific agency and the relationships with those superior. Despite the professional expertise of some secretaries, their appointments are largely related to where in the country they are from, their lifestyle, what their professional and personal background is and how conformist they are to the established values and ideology of a particular agency and in fact are only as free to act “as big as the president, the bureaucracy, the Congress, and their constituencies allow them to be”. While higher executives within agencies fall within the expected traditional roles, undersecretaries and others within the agencies may more so represent the diverse groups within the portfolio. Despite the increase in external “hybrid” agencies, traditional social and cultural expectations remain of executives within the political structure who must conform to rather than try to reform the institutions they administer.

Henry Sidgwick’s Arguments and Theories of Utilitarianism and Egoism: Morality, Sanctions, Reasoning and Common Sense
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Sidgwick’s “The Methods of Ethics” as he examines the morality behind the arguments of the Utilitarianism and the Egoist philosophies. In Henry Sidgwick’s “The Methods of Ethics”, he examines the morality behind the arguments of the Utilitarianism and the Egoist philosophies. In doing so, Sidgwick finds that the morality of common sense is outlined by its adherence to certain principles of consensus in a society and which seem to be consistent throughout history and societies. The morality of common sense is consistent with that of utilitarianism in that moral good is measured by the greatest good for the greatest number. Sidgwick finds however that the utilitarianism argument fails against that of the egoist who finds that an action which brings each man’s happiness is the basis for man’s morality. In order to “prove” his argument, the utilitarian imposes sanctions on the egoist which in a sense state that there are pleasures and pains which will be expected if an egoist acts only in his own self interests. These sanctions however, do not offer “proof” for the egoist as for him, his own happiness is by definition only good, not only for him but also from a universal perspective.
