CASE: Uganda Parliament Exhibition: An exhibition in shamelessness As the reverberations of the trending Uganda Parliament Exhibition continue, one wonders; where did shame go? Each revelation and/or allegation singes off more of our thinning eyebrows (thinned from the Mabaati and other corruption scandals). Bafflement does not even begin to capture the audacity of the obese expenditure of the Eleventh Parliament. A few images have come to define this cult of parliament. “Corruption, nepotism and greed, extravagance and unnecessarily allocations are things that are making Ugandans more disgusted at the leadership of our parliament in government.” In December 2022, social media buzzed with pictures of a luxurious vehicle allegedly belonging to the speaker, several members of parliament (MPs) stood on the steps of parliament fawning over the majestic machine. The optics were poor. If the MPs could swoon over the speaker’s luxury, how would they ever stand independently to question the speaker’s extravagance? In November 2022, a picture showing the executive team of the Uganda Parliamentary Press Association (UPPA) hands clasped and hands bowed in grateful veneration before the speaker who stood benevolently before them receiving their adoration. The speaker had just donated Shs50 million to UPPA. The journalists’ groveling body language sang of the hungry watchdogs grateful for a juicy bone. Several defenders of the speaker’s parliament have accused the exhibition drivers of a hate campaign against the speaker. Others have argued that the speaker did not do anything illegal. How so utterly convenient! Even worse, the communications spokesperson of parliament has implored us to applaud the speaker for investing ‘her loot’ in the community. With each online exhibition, shamelessness amongst our leaders grows. Our leaders stay largely silent, impassive in the face of unprecedented public criticism. They sit high above on their privileged perches looking down with robust condescension at the quisling citizens who dare to call them out. Free of the inhibitions of shame, they continue - unapologetic and undeterred. Rubbing salt into the pulsating wound of the inflamed public, some leaders spare time to lift up holy hands and worship. Shall we fault them for worshipping their God? Shall we fault them for tweeting bible verses yet staying stoically silent about the corruption allegations? The ruling party, in which the speaker is a top honcho, is similarly soundless. The president is silent - some say it is tactical - storing away ammunition against Parliament. Those who perceive the yellow of the ruling party as the wilting yellow of things surely but slowly drooping and decaying, are unruffled. In an online article, “Why shame helps humans survive”, from the Big Think website, scientists argue that shame is needed for a group to maintain its cohesion. Those who violate the norms get punished and are pushed out of the group. Thus, shame is a mechanism for making the right decision. Therefore, the lack of shame is a threat to public order because it disregards the rules on which societies are built, leading to unethical practices and abuse of power, notes the Conversation in a piece titled, “Why public ‘shaming’ is a necessary part of democracy.” The article acknowledges that while shame can be toxic, in public life, shame is a necessary counterbalance. Citizens use shame as a tool for accountability to check the excesses of power. Dear student, what should politicians do when shamed? “Politicians ought to be open to accepting that moments of shame are opportunities to learn and elevate their ethical standards. When someone in whom public trust is placed fails to react appropriately to shame, they become unfit to lead and ought to go or be removed.” Bambi. (March 13, 2024. The Observer) REQUIRED With the understanding and analysis from the case study, establish certain realities about moral degradation in the Ugandan parliament using consequentialist theories. Assess the implication of the issues highlighted in the case and advise the government on the strategies to implement in order to safeguard its institutions against unethical vices. (25 Marks)

Re: Week 8 - Discussion Forum by Carlos Palma Valladares - Tuesday, 4 June 2024, 2:49 PM Preparing for the Final Exam To prepare for my final exam, I will implement a structured and systematic approach. A week before the exam, I will start by revisiting the instructor’s guidelines regarding the exam content and question types. This will help me focus on the most relevant material. I will review my notes and outlines, ensuring they cover the key points emphasized in class. Creating flashcards for key concepts and reviewing them during downtime will aid in reinforcing my memory. Additionally, I will schedule consistent study sessions throughout the week. Each session will be dedicated to different sections of the course material, allowing me to cover all topics comprehensively. I will prioritize studying in a quiet, well-lit space like the library to minimize distractions. Turning off my phone and avoiding social media will help maintain focus. If I plan on studying for extended periods, I will take short breaks every hour to stay refreshed and maintain productivity. Managing Test-Taking Anxiety I do experience test-taking anxiety, which can be challenging. To manage this, I will practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and mindfulness exercises. These methods help calm my nerves and keep me focused. Another strategy is to simulate exam conditions during my study sessions. By timing myself and working in a quiet environment, I can become more comfortable with the test format and reduce anxiety on the actual exam day. Furthermore, maintaining a healthy routine is crucial. I will ensure I get adequate sleep, eat nutritious meals, and engage in physical activities to keep my body and mind in optimal condition. Staying organized with a study schedule and knowing that I am well-prepared will also boost my confidence and reduce anxiety. By combining these preparation and anxiety-management strategies, I aim to approach my final exam with confidence and perform to the best of my ability.

UTS conducts regular checks and investigations into work that may breach our integrity standards - this can include plagiarism, improper paraphrasing, collusion and contract cheating (engaging another person to prepare work for you). Turnitin will be run on all submissions and you are able to view your Turnitin report. No references are required in this assessment task because we are asking you to write about your own thoughts, feelings and perceptions. If you do choose to use any outside sources, please use in-text referencing in accordance with APA 7 - refer to the UTS APA 7 Library guide for more information.By submitting your assessment task, you are certifying thatthis is your own work in your own wordsyou have appropriately recognised the work of others (if used) through appropriate APA 7 referencingthat you have not published or shared your completed work to any notes sharing sites (as this is a breach of UTS' rules related to misconduct because it is helping others cheat)that the work has not been previously submitted for assessment in this subject or any other  (if you are repeating AAA, you should write an entirely new/fresh reflection)Your assessment submission will be processed through Turnitin. Where the teaching staff have concerns about whether you have completed your own work (for example, your document has low editing time, a low version number or does not appear to be written by you for any other reason) - you may be asked to provide documentation showing the drafting process you have undertaken in reaching your final submission. This process is similar to real-world accounting, where documents showing the preparation of the financial statements, accounting advice to clients, tax advice or the audit report/opinion are commonly referred to as 'working papers' and must be produced by regulatory bodies on request. For students, your working papers for this assignment can include notes, drafts, access to cloud-stored documents in services such as Google Drive or OneDrive, or internet search history related to the assessment task. It is recommended that you retain these notes, drafts etc for at least 4 months after the end of the teaching session (businesses and accountants in Australia are required to keep their working papers for 7 years). Failure to be able to produce material on request from your coordinator, Academic Integrity Officer or Responsible Academic Officer of the university may be used in misconduct allegations against you. Any request will be made to you in writing to your UTS email address.
