Abstract

Ethical problems and issues are not a new phenomenon. Even democratic societies witness certain scandals. New democracies are not exceptions. This article concentrates on a Lithuanian case (an example of new democracies) and tries to answer the question what ethical problems appear in the contemporary public life and how the government addresses them. The article consists of several parts which try to elaborate the topic and explain the Lithuanian scenario. A short presentation of ethical problems is followed by the analysis of Lithuanian scandals which allow distinguishing several ethical issues. An analysis of Lithuanian legislation and institutional arrangements helps to answer the question about the proposed ways of solving one or other ethical problems. Summing up an alternative scenario for tackling ethical problems in Lithuanian public life is provided and several ideas which in the future can develop the topic of ethical problems are pointed out.
