Pancasila-based political ethics as a foundation for fair policies amid plurality

Abstract

This research explores political ethics based on Pancasila's application in making fair public policies. As the basis of the Indonesian state, Pancasila contains noble values that can be a guideline in the life of the nation and state. These values include divinity, humanity, unity, populism, and social justice. In the political context, ethics based on Pancasila can be a solid foundation to create fair and equitable policies amid diversity. However, in practice, there are often deviations from Pancasila's values in policy-making. The interests of certain groups, corruption, and injustice still hinder the creation of truly fair and equitable policies. The writing of this scientific article uses the library research method. The data sources of this article consist of scientific articles, academic journals, and relevant online information sources. Data collection is carried out by sorting out various relevant literature. Next, the data is analyzed by compiling it and connecting it to get a result or conclusion that can be drawn. Diversity in Indonesia offers challenges and opportunities for growth, where Pancasila serves as a strong foundation of political ethics. Still, its implementation requires commitment and a sensitive approach to cultural differences. Pancasila, as the basis of political ethics, must remain the main focus in facing the challenges and opportunities of diversity, with continuous efforts in education, policy formulation, and community participation to build fair and equitable public policies.
