Assignment: Evaluating Ethics
Overview
In earlier units of the course, we explored the concepts of values and ethics, including how they might contribute to internal or external conflict in the workplace. In this assignment, we are tying together the first elements of the course, exploring the importance of ethics in the public sector.
To be a successful public administrator, one must understand one's own values and ethical perspective, that of the organization, and that of the community one serves. In developing an appreciation of these perspectives, you will gain insight into the community's expectations of public administrators and how their values, your values, and the values of those in your organization must be taken into consideration to build communication bridges that support the development of collaborative approaches to accomplish your organizational mission.
