Public service has always been a vital part of my life. Growing up as the daughter of a pastor, I watched my father vigorously serve not only the members of his church but also his community. He taught me the art of serving, and the attitude I should have while serving. My father has encouraged me to help the voiceless, powerless, and those often forgotten. While he taught me the attitude behind serving, my own experiences broadened the scope of my skills which ultimately made me more effective…

When I first started service at Mohawk elementary I was kind of taken back at first and I didn't really connect with the kids, and I was only there to do the community service and I didn't actually connect with the kids. After a while I began to grow with the kids and I began to learn their stories and their experiences and I really started to see them as more than just being there for me to get service they were people and they have their own challenges and their own difficulties and I was…

motivated to go outside and be apart of the world. This being said, after experiencing a ‘high’ sensation, you will end up going back into a slum, which will eventually make you want more drugs to recreate that ‘high’.

Ethics in the public service profession are essential to lead both a successful career and provide for the success of an organization. It varies between small business operations, a multi-million dollar company, and the public sector, but the public holds the public sector to a higher ethical standard and morals plays an essential role. At the root of ethics, the public sector must uphold the public interest before its own personal interest. Lewis (2006) described it by stating, “part of the…

This Public Service Announcement (PSA) from Montana meth project, shows a picture of a girl on a lawn, with a random guy on top of her, all alone, with a transparent look on her face as if she is out of this world. On top of the PSA is the text “15 bucks for sex isn’t normal. But on meth it is.” This text is obvious of what meth does to you. On the far right is a white box with the text reading: “meth not even once.” The thesis for this PSA is: reducing meth use. The purpose of the PSA is to…

The main discussion point of the essay was about how the U.S. Public Health Service is trying to get together a scientific study on African American men and the disease known as syphilis. The USPHS wanted to develop a great experiment where neither the 200 men in the control group or the 400 men in the dependent group discovered that they were a part of the experiment. They also tried to maintain the advertisement of the medication for the disease ongoing, so the experiment could be maintained…

current trend towards privatised public services. It is very common, locally and internationally, for governments to contract out services which were traditionally under public administration. Some authors argue that privatisation is an inevitable process due to the heavy burden that our fast growing population puts on governments to provide effective public services. However, the exercise of public functions by private bodies has challenged our traditional public/private divide. Critics argue…

I have focused my efforts the past few years contributing to aiding women and children in the field of interpersonal violence. My interest in this field began a few summers ago, when I served as an intern at Domestic Violence/Child Abuse court under the District attorney, in Cumberland County, North…
