Category: Public Administration
Compare and contrast key approaches toward public administration as detailed in assigned readings. Evaluate these approaches according to required readings and presentations for this week and a Biblical/covenantal model of statesmanship, leadership and organizational behavior. Consider the relevance of these approaches to your academic and professional work in public administration.
In an evaluation, discuss how the role and function of budgeting has been utilized to correct externalities and other market failures. Additionally, justify the use of taxpayer resources to correct externalities and other market failures.
Thread Outline: Use bolded statements as headings in your thread.
I. Summarize the role of the government in the budget process.
II. Analyze the role of the government in correcting externalities and other market failures.
III. Justify the use of taxpayer resources to correct externalities and other market failures.
Externalities are a consequence of a governmental activity that affect other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved. Externalities by nature often are environmental. Some examples of negative externalities include:
· Air pollution
· Water pollution
· Farm animal production
· Passive smoking
· Traffic congestion
· Noise pollution
Market failure is an inefficient allocation of resources. Government failure occurs when government intervention results in a more inefficient and wasteful allocation of resources.

Part one
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Good research begins with good research questions. In research, a good question is interesting, it can be answered with data and analysis, and it is developed through an iterative and collaborative process to discover the multiple perspectives from which a single problem can be viewed. As you think about the societal questions that interest you this week, respond to the following prompts:
Describe how you might use literature to build hypotheses. What types of literature sources are appropriate and reliable?
Explain how research questions can influence the outcome of a study.
Explain how research questions vary depending on the policy analysis being conducted. Through a brief review of literature, identify a study that involves policy analysis and identify the research questions used in the study. Include a citation to the study.
PART TWO Respond to Gustavo Encinas with 175 words
Good morning, everyone,
For researchers the use of literature is paramount, these are the tools used to validate our insight on a topic. This also helps with the development of research questions. An example of a source of literature is the press, which provides general information and entertainment that is current (Brown & Hale, 2014, pp. 39-63). The next source example will focus on specific issues and provide technical coverage on trades or professional opinions on specific genres. The third example includes peer-reviewed journals and university-published books, these scholarly sources provide formal or scientific breakdowns about specialized topics (Brown & Hale, 2014, pp. 39-63).
Those are some examples of reliable sources, these sources shape and influence the research being done on topics of interest. The research questions are meant to attempt to answer a question of interest that has not been clearly defined or answered. These questions are not only of interest but also testable to be able to prove (Brown & Hale, 2014, pp. 39-63). Research questions also guide the researcher to gain knowledge on what has already been established or learned from previous researchers. This allows the continual adaptation or evolution of the research questions, more than not the original research questions will change over time.
I took an interest in a study on immigration policymaking, which laid out six significant questions that surpassed geopolitics, the blue and red states, and the political perspective (Dzordzormenyoh & Boateng, 2022). The first and second questions look at geopolitics, the public attitude towards laws, the acceptance of refugees and immigrants, and the separation of families and facing the dangers of returning to their countries of origin (Dzordzormenyoh & Boateng, 2022). The third and fourth questions still looked at public opinions and geopolitics, but now introduced the study of actions that force immigrants to return home, and the desire to build walls against immigrants in the U.S. The last set of questions also considered geopolitics and public opinion. Still, it was geared towards laws that prevent immigrants from entering the country and now focused on the police and their targeted stops of undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds (Dzordzormenyoh & Boateng, 2022).
The research questions do depend on the policy and the research, they are meant to gather the information that might have been missed. This questioning also is meant to be flexible and change if the direction of the research changes. When researching policy, the questioning can focus on different aspects for the why, how, and the impact or opinions of stakeholders.

PART THREE respond to Harold Caraway with 175 words
Dr. Jarrod and Classmates,
When it comes to building any type of theory you need to make sure your facts are 100% correct because you will be questioned about it down the line. What I use to make sure that my facts are backed is not only books from the library but also going on websites that are .org, .edu, or .gov because they are up to date on facts while others sites are not really up to date on what is true.
When doing the research you have to always be ready for questions to be asked because what you are trying to do is make sure that your study has an strong foundation to stand on because any type of question no matter how bad or good can take out the foundation of your theory if you cannot have a answer for it.
As for a research study I would pick the general homeless rate in america because that can vary based on if they are on the streets or if they are living in shelters.

Instructions: Match each case description below with the scrutiny classification.
Submission Instructions: Complete and submit the assignment by 11:59 CST on Day 7
Grading rubric: One point for each correct answer.
Strict Scrutiny
Intermediate Scrutiny
Rational Basis
a. In Lyng v. Northwest Cemetery Protective Association the Court concluded that the road and timbering were internal government affairs that only incidentally affected the free exercise of religion. It upheld the government’s action as a rational means of accomplishing a legitimate end. The Court in Lyng deferred to the government’s use of National Forest property.
b. In Craig v. Boren (1976) the Court held that the statute made unconstitutional gender classifications. The statistics relied on by the state of Oklahoma were insufficient to show a substantial relationship between the law and the maintenance of traffic safety. Generalities about the drinking habits of aggregate groups did not suffice. The Court also found that the Twenty-first Amendment did not alter the application of the Equal Protection Clause in the case.
c. In Plyer v. Doe (1982) the Court reasoned those illegal aliens and their children, though not citizens of the United States or Texas are people “in any ordinary sense of the term” and, therefore, is afforded Fourteenth Amendment protections. Since the state law severely disadvantaged the children of illegal aliens, by denying them the right to an education, and because Texas could not prove that the regulation was needed to serve a “compelling state interest,” the Court struck down the law.
d. In Romer v. Evans (1996) the Court held that Amendment 2 of the Colorado State Constitution violated the equal protection clause. Amendment 2 singled out homosexual and bisexual persons, imposing on them a broad disability by denying them the right to seek and receive specific legal protection from discrimination. In his opinion for the Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy noted that oftentimes a law will be sustained under the equal protection clause, even if it seems to disadvantage a specific group, so long as it can be shown to “advance a legitimate government interest.”
e. In Miss. Univ. for Women v. Hogan (1982) Joe Hogan, a registered nurse and qualified applicant, was denied admission to the Mississippi University for Women School of Nursing’s baccalaureate program on the basis of sex. Created by a state statute in 1884, MUW was the oldest state-supported all-female college in the United States. The Court held that the state did not provide an “exceedingly persuasive justification” for the gender-based distinction.
f. In Loving v. Virginia (1967) the Court held that distinctions drawn according to race were generally “odious to a free people.” The Virginia law, the Court found, had no legitimate purpose “independent of invidious racial discrimination.” The Court rejected the state’s argument that the statute was legitimate because it applied equally to both blacks and whites.
g. In Renton v. Playtime Theatres Inc. (1986) the Court held that the zoning ordinance did not violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The Court held that the ordinance was a form of time, place, and manner regulation, not a ban on adult theaters altogether. The Court found that the ordinance was designed to serve a substantial governmental interest in preserving the quality of life and allowed for “reasonable alternative avenues of communication.”
h. In Skinner v. Oklahoma (1942) the Oklahoma’s Criminal Sterilization Act allowed the state to sterilize a person who had been convicted three or more times of crimes “amounting to felonies involving moral turpitude.” A unanimous Court held that the Act violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since some crimes such as embezzlement, punishable as felonies in Oklahoma, were excluded from the Act’s jurisdiction, Justice Douglas reasoned that the law had laid “an unequal hand on those who have committed intrinsically the same quality of offense.”
Online discussions pose an opportunity for rich and meaningful student learning and interaction. Online discussions extend classroom learning by providing an asynchronous method of communication for the exchange of meaningful ideas that promote critical thinking and develop thoughtful reflective learning. All students are expected to participate in each weekly discussion. These forums will be grounded in durable or critical thinking utilizing case studies, problem/solution scenarios or other appropriate assignments.
