ethic of care
The ethic of care proclaims altruistic compassion for others while secretly inflating one’s own ego in a cunning art. With every outstretched hand to those in need, one’s benevolence gleams like a shining billboard. The poetic rhetoric surrounding care is reduced to metrics in evaluation systems, ultimately reflecting the tragicomedy that no real care is being given. Practitioners master the art of abandoning their duties under the guise of assistance. In the end, the ethic of care is less a guide to save others than a social mechanism to save oneself.
