3. What are the challenges, the pluses and minuses, of organizational culture? In general, do you think organizational cultures should be nurtured or streamlined (made more uniform throughout government)?
4. According to the text, even though most government programs work well most of the time, Americans tend to be disappointed with government due to their high expectations about government on one hand and their revolutionary roots on the other hand. What do you think about the expectations of Americans of their government? Do you think these expectations help or hinder government performance or are inconsequential to government performance?
