Works Progress Administration

planning over that of individuals and competition. The NIRA, as discussed earlier created two new federal agencies, the NRA and the PWA. These new government appendages were charged with boosting the nation’s economy. The PWA took on enormous public works and conservation programs. While the NRA directly involved the federal government into private business…

Public Administration Ethics for the 21st Century discusses a code of ethics for public administrators. Martinez argues that civil servants, public administrators, and non-profit administrators, as with other professionals, must have a standard code of ethics. However, there remains no such code. He contends the importance of a code by explaining that public administrators make decisions with ethical expectations. Martinez argues for five methods to administrative ethics. “Ethics as a…

I mostly made the decision to do this because of the women like in Bananeras, women that have to work 7 days a week and 24 hours. Maybe not quite that much, but it’s in a sense how I felt when I read their stories. They have to work almost every day and we spend our day shopping for deals. It’s like a war on Black Friday, people fight and push and will do anything to get what they went out there for. We’re spending…

But first, a manager has to take the time to identify the toxic behavior. The behavior is often identified as toxic or poisonous because once it is in; it does take a great amount of work to filter it out. A manager can attempt to communicate with their personnel in reference to their issues and see if they can adequately reduce their damaging approach to convert into a helpful and positive colleague of the group. If that misses the…

Lucy McCormick, of ‘GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN’ (GITBOTV), influenced my practice through her solo workshop and subsequent conversations because I found her style and attitude towards creative work particularly stimulating and we share an enthusiasm for pushing theatrical boundaries. Her approach demonstrates that, “the question of boundaries and extremes is always in the room” (McCormick, 2014). In our workshop on ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ Lucy got one of my classmates, Laura, to chew…

In life people have to deal with all sorts of situations big and small. Social psychology has broken down how we deal with those situations into six dyads that are meant to show how we deal with the situations that we confront (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). The first dyad is that different persons respond differently to the same situation (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). For an example, let us say that an experiment in which a social scientist is trying to find out…

Women have evolved since the late 1900s. Many work in work fields alongside men. Becoming mothers does not stop many of them from still working. A lower percent of mothers stay at home, although, it should not be for every woman. Women should not feel obligated to be a stay at home mother; they should be able to be independent, to be a role-model to their children, and to be capable to bring a larger income into the home. Most women who work show independence. They show that they do not…

How important is work in today’s society? Imagine a world without work, a world in which nothing would get accomplished, now imagine a world in which everyone enjoyed work, and accomplished countless tasks every day. There has to be a happy medium. In order for the world to be successful work is a necessity, everyone has their own attitude toward work and the exertion level they are willing to put in. My first observation leads me into my backyard where I observe my father meticulously picking…

was able to accomplish their work without any real missteps and believed that everyone put the best foot forward towards the problem at hand. The main thing I wanted to improve in the new group, was how we interacted as a group. No drama and definitely no personality conflicts. I honestly believe that it was a huge success and made for a positive team experience. For this problem charge I believe our team’s…

Hence the follow-up meetings weekly. Getting busy at work does not mean accomplishing tasks on a daily and weekly basis. If ever, they are more about accomplishments because being busy can be faked now. Does it strike a nerve? The logic behind putting accomplishments above hard work for some managers meant that the effort infused into the job produced sweet fruit. Some managers risk getting called pricks for asking…
