THE PARADOX OF THE ROLE OF POLITICIANS IN THE REAL WORLD AND IDEALISTIC POLITICAL ETHICS

Abstract

The study of politicians' roles in balancing real-world challenges with idealistic political ethics is critical for comprehending the complexities of governance and the ethical quandaries that leaders face. This research educates citizens about the complexities of political decision-making, resulting in a more informed electorate capable of holding politicians accountable while advocating for ethical standards in public service. The finding found that the paradox of politicians balancing real-world challenges with idealistic political ethics reveals a complicated interplay of moral compromise, public trust, and partisan pressures. While idealistic principles promote integrity, inclusivity, and long-term vision, the realities of governance frequently require compromises that undermine these very ideals. Politicians face ethical quandaries in which the demands of political survival and expediency frequently conflict with their responsibilities to represent diverse constituents and maintain accountability. This ongoing tension highlights the inherent challenges within political systems, where the pursuit of power and the quest for ethical governance frequently clash, resulting in a disillusioned landscape and a call for deeper reflection on the nature of political leadership.
