U10A1-12 - GLOBAL ISSUE – ANALYSIS (PHASE 3) - SEE DETAILS.

1. Communicate the role of cultural awareness and sensitivity in helping public administrators positively respond to future trends in multiculturalism, diversity, and global communities.

2. Apply definitions and practices of multiculturalism relative to public administrative settings to create effective systems of public participation across cultures.

Unit 10 Future Trends

INTRODUCTION

We have covered many different topics related to multiculturalism, public value, and power in our global and diverse societies, and we have analyzed these topics from the perspective of their influence and impact on our roles as public administrators. In the end, what we want to create is a civil society that encourages us to provide the highest levels of public benefit. There are times when what one person might claim as a benefit, another might consider a loss, but we try to be objective and serve the greatest good possible. This final unit examines the trends of and the directions to which we can take our multicultural global society in the coming decades.

There are a few different schools of thought then it comes to defining civil society, and recapping them here is important to our understanding of future trends. The traditionalist approach embraces what we think of traditional American values—self-sufficiency, community, marriage, family, and commitment to country. A communitarian agenda reflects on the rights and responsibilities of a representative democracy and dedication to citizen participation in public decisions. The concept of a free and virtuous civil society, where politics is eliminated and government is small, is the cornerstone of the libertarian interpretation. Finally, the populist agenda is that of citizenship as public work and commitment to broader solutions to public problems. No single approach is "right" or "left," Republican or Democratic, or right or wrong. Incorporating all of them into our positions as problem solvers for the public good, though, is a vital part of our success in a global and diverse society.

Phase 3 of your project will be due in Unit 10. Read the directions for this assignment carefully and plan how you will meet this deadline. If you have any questions about the instructions, contact your instructor.

Conclude your review of literature relevant to your issue. Your list of references for Phase 3 will include those you previously cited in Phase 2, but should be augmented. It may include added material located through the Global Issue Resources interactive, course readings and media presentations if relevant. In addition, the final project must include at least 12 peer-reviewed sources located from the Research library or other sources online or in print.

Read the instructions for Phase 3 carefully and plan to meet its requirements.

Global Issue – Analysis (Phase 3) Scoring Guide.

This is the third and final phase of your Global Issue Analysis project. This assignment will incorporate the work you

did on the two previous phases of your assignment. Previous work will be revised and augmented with further

analysis, discussion, recommendations, and a conclusion.

Your assignment will begin with the introduction, background, and rationale you previously submitted in Phase 2. If these sections were satisfactory in your last submission, they need not be revised.

Next, you will revise the following sections from Phase 2, based on feedback you received from your instructor and other advances in your understanding:

• Review of relevant literature. • Key outcomes and findings from the application of theoretical framework to your global issue.

You will continue your paper with discussion of possible public health interventions that could address your issue. Critically analyze important factors surrounding interventions, as well as their relative strengths and weaknesses. These factors should include cultural values and their impact on decision making and communications.

Next, you will detail your recommended interventions and their rationale. These recommendations should incorporate public values that have been identified as universally held across relevant regional and global boundaries. They may address enhancement of collaboration, communication, coordination, strategic planning and management. What would the implementation look like? Are some dimensions of the issue more amenable to intervention and others less so? How could you circumvent obstacles? What contingency plans are appropriate? You should also discuss how the success of interventions may be evaluated.

Finally, you will conclude with a brief summative statement recapping the importance of your issue and your degree of confidence in your recommended interventions.

For this assignment, use the following organizational arrangement and structure:

1. Introduction.

2. Background.

3. Rationale for selection.

4. Review of relevant literature.

5. Theoretical framework applied to your topic.

6. Key outcomes and findings from the application of theoretical framework to your global issue.

7. Discussion.

8. Recommendations.

9. Conclusion.

10. References.

The paper should also meet the following requirements:

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (sixth edition) style. • Number of resources: Minimum of 12 peer-reviewed resources and other sources as appropriate. • Length of paper: 10–15 typed, double-spaced pages, plus a cover page, table of contents, executive

summary, and reference list. • Font and font size: Times, 12 point.
