Reаd belоw fоr yоur situаtions аnd discussion points.You must identify which situation and discussion point you are addressing in this essay. For example: Situation One / Discussion Point 1Be sure to manage your time well. You have two and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete this essay.SituationsSituation OneYou are the city manager of a large urban city in Texas. The state of Texas has passed legislation that bans specific books in public spaces, mandates pet registration and chipping, legalizes marijuana, and mandates the use of diversity , equity, and inclusion in all public agencies. This impacts operations for the library, law enforcement, animal control, and human resources where employees may not agree with these laws. What are some of the many factors you need to consider when addressing this situation in a way that continues to support the organization's mission in accordance with state laws, while maintaining a good work environment in a democratic society.Situation TwoAfter graduating with your MPA, you have received an offer to teach an introductory public administration course in a graduate program (similar to Lamar’s POLS 5330: Public Administration Theory and Methods). The course is required to trace the evolution of the study of public administration from the early 1900s to the present day. Which scholars’ works would you assign the students to read and why? Cite at least five different scholarly works and be sure to include analyses from different eras in the study of public administration. Discussion Points Discussion Point 1Public Administration can be a very confusing subject to study because of the many definitions of public administration and publicness that exist in scholarly literature and practice. The application of these definitions can be at odds with each other depending upon the political and cultural environments that shape public policy and how policy is implemented at different levels of government and within different geographical bounds in the United States. What makes public administration "public"?  Discussion Point 2 The ability to separate our moral obligations from our ethical obligations can result in the need to put on a "Mask of Office" in order to protect our fragile psyche when carrying out a public will that does not align with our personal moral beliefs. When we consider that the public administrator is charged with carrying out policy in the public interest within the intent of the policy as determined by the public through elected representatives, what are the implications on the public administrator and the public? Discussion Point 3The practice of public administration through a bureaucracy that implements policy can be a difficult realm to navigate in its political and cultural environments. Briefly explain what strategic management is and why it is important to public administration. Discussion Point 4What types of individuals are attracted to certain types of jobs? What organization culture factors do you need to consider? What motivations and incentives do you need to consider when looking at an organization?
