In 2020, a pandemic engulfed the world due to variants of the coronavirus. In the United States, the functioning of federal, state, and local agencies almost came to a halt. Many social changes, such as mask-wearing, quickly evolved. Public administrators were forced to find new ways to operate to continue to serve the public.

Imagine your boss has asked you to find an example of an agency taking discretionary action related to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation detailing your findings. Address the following in your presentation:

1. Define agency discretion.

2. Identify the discretionary action.

3. Discuss whether the discretionary action resulted in a social change.

4. List the pros and cons of the identified discretionary action.

5. Explain whether you agree with the discretionary action.
