DEFINITION OF DICHOTOMY.
Dichotomy can be defined as “a dichotomy is any splitting of a
whole into exactly two non overlapping parts. In other word, it is bipartition of element
which are mutually exclusive nothing can belong simultaneously to must belong
to one part or both parts and everything must petition elements are themselves
a dichotomy. They are either compliments or opposites. Separation refers to
between administrator and politics. Administer of development should not be
influenced by any station as an age political party statement. Administrator
should not be involved in politics because as a people that responsible to
protect the Public Administration.
For example, the colors black and
white represent a classic dichotomy: either something is black, or it is white,
with no room for overlap or alternatives. Dichotomies are used in a number of
ways and in an assortment of fields, from philosophy to biology,
and learning to think about dichotomies can be important. It is also a good
idea to learn to identify a false dichotomy; a dichotomy which
is not, in other words, a true dichotomy. People are always judge by the way they
look, speak, move, and the color of their skin. No matter whom you are; rich,
middle class or poor or are being judge. According to Elijah Anderson essay
“Street Etiquette and street Wisdom” and bell hook’s essay “A Place Where the
Soul Can Rest”, class, race, and sexism creates a division in the dichotomy
between blacks and whites.
The word is derived from the Greek dichotomia, which means
“splitting in two.” Humans have obviously been using dichotomies for centuries,
as they can be valuable tools for quickly identifying things and thinking about
the world, although the danger of dichotomies is that they can quickly lead to
oversimplification. This issue has been a common topic of discussion in many
fields for thousands of years (Sarah O’Neill, 2010).
So, in a modern government, public administrators hold the most
important power. They implement or execute public policies. Public administration
reflects efficiency and judicious criteria of a government. It also shows the
sources of information and idea of the government in solving problems that
occurs in economic, social and political aspect of the country.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DICHOTOMY
Dichotomy holds a
very important role in public administration. It provides good condition in
every aspect for an administrator. By this statement, it ensures the
professionalism of the worker by separating his/her political ideologies and
his/her responsibility as a public servant.
Other than that,
it provides more freedom. This freedom can be obtained by the administrator
itself or even the public. For the worker, it allows all of them to have their
own choices to believe what they want to believe. In this case, it is their
political views. While the public has their freedom to voice out their opinion
or seek help from the government when in need. For example, a single mom with
two kids heads to the Welfare Dept to get monthly incentive. She is eligible to
apply because of her situation.
Dichotomy also
can reduce the span of control of a politician. This is to ensure that
politician has limited power and not doing anything he desires. Dichotomy
limits a power of a politician thus creating a better, harmonious and fair
administration in a government.
It is also a
medium to minimize misunderstanding between people and their government. The
public may refer any governmental acts and policies through public
administration as it is their job to channel information from the government
straight to the citizen. Any confusion can be referred to the administration
which has relation with the issues. For example, anyone who needed information
regarding the new plan of “Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia” or BR1M may call the
Treasury Dept.
