Public Administration

Write a reflection paper consisting of 4 parts: 1) What is the value of public participation? In other words, why should we as public administrators care if the public participates in public policy and democracy? 2) What is the current state of public participation as you embark on your new career/stage? Describe the general relationship between public and the government and the forces contributing this relationship? 3) What is your hope for the future? In other words, at the end of your career what do you hope public participation looks like? 4) Finally reflect on how you as an administrator will contribute to the future you hope for. What specific steps, practices and values will you use?
