POLITICS

The art of living together, sharing and caring for the good of all.

It is to regulate man's innate tendency to self-interest. There has to be a balance between individual autonomy and corporate responsibility for the good of society.

Law regulates society.The question is who decides what the law shall be. We all want to choose whom we shall obey - man has an inborn disposition to resist the law.

If the predominant ethos of the ruling party is self-gratification in a consumerist economy, what hope is there for moral order in society, which seems no longer to exist?
