Democracy

Several ethical codes include 'respect for democracy' among their values and principles; this can mean, variously, respect for the idea of rule by the people, respect for the results of democratic choice (as, say, found in public service ethics; TBS,2011:1.1-1.2), and respect for democratic values, such as justice and non-discrimination.

Democracy is also identified as both an input and output of ethical codes; the NEA code (1975) is based on "the nurture of the democratic principles," while the Code of Professional Ethics for School Teachers in India states that "every child has a fundamental right to receive education of good quality," where this education develops the individual personality, faith in democracy and social justice, cultural heritage and national consciousness (NCERT, 2010).
