#Care Ethics

Care ethics is the theory that proclaims compassion for others while conveniently ignoring power structures. Under the banner of love and concern, it disperses responsibility and grants permission to cry 'It’s the system!' when solutions fail. Practitioners either blame themselves or exhaust the cared-for with excessive involvement. Admired as the study that justifies emotional labor, it always fails at measuring impact. Its eloquent rhetoric serves as a magic show to conceal the muddy trenches of reality.
