Assignment: Public Administration Ethics- Messaging and Social Media
Overview:
Today, we are inundated with data, imagery, text messages, news commentary stories, and assorted editorial posts cleverly designed and communicated as information or "news." Public organizations are not immune to the same conditions and challenges associated with messaging and social media. How can public service organizations minimize or eliminate sources of misinformation?
Instructions:
Using the A-S-A format found in the Course Information section, write a 3 to 4 pages essay that expands your thinking on how the media has changed perceptions of ethics within public organizations.
A. Assertion: Serves as your topic sentence and clearly reflects your own thinking - typically one sentence and usually the first sentence (e.g., "Aristotle was largely ineffective in convincing his contemporaries to engage in ethical governance").
B. Support: Use evidence from the literature to support your assertion. Specific examples should relate directly to your initial assertion and should demonstrate how that assertion is accurate or worth considering. Use approved and proper citation format.
C. Analysis: Reaffirm the initial assertion by expanding upon the evidence. Use the analysis to directly tie your evidence to your thesis. Your analysis might examine ways the evidence is alarming, insightful, or perceptive, for example. Demonstrate the validity of the evidence and how the sources support the argument. Advance a clear conclusion.
