Professional Codes of Ethics in Public Administration.

I need 10 good sources

Instructions:

Each student will select a topic of Ethics in Public Administration. The list of possible themes will be provided by the instructor in the 2nd week, which then can be adapted further to conform to the background as well as academic/professional interests of students. The final research paper should be approximately 9-12 pages in length, 12 point-font with appropriate margins, double-spaced, formatted according to APA guidelines. Purdue Universitys Online Writing Lab (Links to an external site.) is a good source for APA general guidelines.

Subtitles and headings are mandatory, use of topic sentences is advisable as it strengthens the structure of writing, excludes possible iterations throughout the text and gives a clear understating of the order and sequence of the presented written material. The minimum quantity for the sources is 10 (academic, peer-reviewed), certain case studies from media, news outlets might be also utilized in a case they appropriately corroborate the writers perspective and are closely-related to the presented material. Incorporation of personal subjective opinions is not appropriate without corresponding evidence, research results, and/or literature sources. All written submissions will be checked for plagiarism, therefore, all sources should be cited appropriately both within the text and in the bibliography.

It is highly advisable to start working on final papers early on (by the 3rd week), saving time for preparation for the final study exam. Late submissions will not be accepted. More information on the final papers will be given by the start of the class.

Grading Criteria:

Your grade will be based upon the criteria of proper structure, cohesiveness, readability, and clarity of your writing, as well as upon the depth and comprehensiveness of the discussion and analysis of the chosen topic.

The executive summary is a 1-2 pages brief statement of the problem. It gives the statement of the ethical problem and key points in its historical background. Here the critical role plays students ability of issue spotting. In the executive summary, the task of the writer is to persuade the reader that the problem deserves attention and should be thought of, due to its possible undesirable social consequences in case of being unaddressed.

How does the modern socio-political environment affect the defined ethical problem?
What values should be prioritized, what are the fundamental duties of public administrators in the democratic system of governance?

In the conclusion and final thoughts part, the writer suggests any methods/techniques that can possibly change the situation for better. Measures suggested can be remedial as well as of preventative nature. Here, the writer comes to a logical conclusion, following his/her analysis and the discussion of the topic.
