Thesis statement: Human values and ethics are hallmarks for democratic and human credentials.
1 history: politics had less to do with ethics, human values, and what was
right, the result was ill human practices, imperialism, colonialism,
and devastating world wars.
2.contemporary: today man is technologically advanced but morally and
ethically at his nadir, politics on national and international
level inordinately linked with petty pelf, power, and position
incentives, concurrently intrastate armed-conflicts, emerging
ethnostate subverting nationalism, genocide, and
humanitarian crises(one may include myriad examples such as Africa internecine armed conflicts, Rohingya's genocide, Palestine's
carnage etc.)
3:21st century: moving toward homo-sapience to homo deus; it is a must
cultivate ethics in politics for saving man form inhalation.
