...Chapter 21: Scopes Monkey Trial The scopes monkey trial occurred because religious fundamentalists, who believed that God created life, believed that the theory of evolution was heretic. In early in 1925 state legislature of Tennessee passed a law forbidding public school teachers to teach the theory of evolution instead of teaching the story of Adam and Eve. John Scopes was a high school teacher in Dayton Tennessee who was a modernist, meaning that he believed in social sciences and evolution. In 1925 Scopes volunteered to serve in a test case and was arrested for teaching evolution in school. Scopes trial that summer became a headline event and though he won the trial, fundamentalism remained popular. 2nd Kkk In 1915, William J. Simmons,...

...Philippine Public Administration Is there a Philippine public administration? A number of our colleagues asked us why we are asking that question again as we were planning this colloquium. Indeed that question had been asked 20 years ago, and answers have been provided us by eminent scholars of Public Administration such as Raul de Guzman and Onofre Corpuz. After two decades, we think it is worthwhile to revisit the issue and ask our colleagues once again to answer the question, “Is there a Philippine Public Administration?” This time around, we take the question a little further and ask an equally important second question, “If there is a Philippine Public Administration, then for whom does Philippine Public Administration exist?” Among the basic references we have been using in the general introductory course in Public Administration at both the graduate (PA 201) and undergraduate (PA 11) levels are essays by the aforementioned eminent scholars of Philippine Public Administration (Dr de Guzman and Dr Corpuz). These essays were published in a special issue of the Philippine Journal of Public Administration in 1986 (PJPA).3 While de Guzman and Corpuz both assert that there is a Philippine Public Administration, both also suggest that the question be properly contextualized. There is a Philippine Public Administration as far as there is an American, French and Thai public administration. There is a Philippine public administration as far as there are institutions of public administration...

...Space Administration Abstract This essay discusses articles that observe the financial standing of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, as well as the correlation between public opinion and governmental funding. The main discussion goes through a history of the administration, separated into five different eras based on significant missions, and how each era differed based on the expected outcome of a mission or program. In addition, the government and the public’s financial support is discussed for each program. The fifth era then leads into the discussion of current funding and cuts from the Obama administration and the future of the agency with different goals in place. NASA has changed the face of America. From the beginning, the administration had very ambitious and innovative ideas that sparked heavy admiration and support yet, also much criticism. This large support and opposition has led to many different obstacles to overcome in progression, such as lack of funding and public support for astronomically innovative ideas. History Lambright (2010) states the most fundamental explanation of the development of NASA, saying, “NASA has a life that is a function of its internal dynamics and political environment. As that environment has changed, NASA has adapted—sometimes voluntarily, other times under pressure. As NASA has altered, so, too, has its relationship with external forces.” He then goes on to explain that the evolution of the...

...Review by Martha Hall Findlay, March 2011 Approaching Public Administration – Core Debates and Emerging Issues Edited by Roberto P. Leone (Wilfrid Laurier University) and Frank L.K. Ohemeng (University of Ottawa); 2011, Emond Montgomery Publications I recommend this book to all Members of Parliament. I will go further, and suggest that it should be mandatory reading for all Ministers. As an MP, I was very pleased to be asked to read it and to provide my thoughts. As I responded when first asked to do this, “We are seeing some real challenges in our public administration, and this will encourage me to read a book that I know I should read, but which I might not otherwise rush to.” This is true, and therein lies a big challenge—this book will be read by far more academics studying the bureaucratic side of the public service, and by those working in it, than by elected politicians. That is a shame. A big part of our job is to keep government to account, yet not nearly enough of us on the political side learn how the civil service really works, and how we must work together. Together, elected politicians and members of the civil service form part of the larger concept of service to the public, service to country. In the democracy that is Canada, politicians represent the will of the people. They are the ones ultimately held accountable to the public. The other side of the public service, the civil service, carries out the administration of the government and its services to Canadians....

...influenced the evolution of American public administration. In Madison’s arguments he wanted the powers in the departments to be sufficient, flaw less, and have it where the different departments kept each other in their appropriate position. With this being said, Madison believed that his observations would be able to place these powers within the departments into a more proper judgmental structure. In order to properly do this, the Founder’s had to be able to implement the proper foundation for this to be successful. Madison stated that he believe that in order to exercise these powers in the government, each department would have to have a will of its own. This would be maintained by the supreme executive, legislative, and judiciary magistracies drawn from the same fountain of authority. In his first point of view, Madison stated that all power surrendered by the people is submitted to the administration of a single government and the usurpations are guarded against by a division of the government into distinct and separate departments. The different governments will control each other; at the same time that each will be controlled by itself. Second, he stated that it was a great importance in republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guards on part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Due to the many different experiments that have been performed in regards to keeping/getting a proper constitution the public administration...

...RETHINKING THE IDENTITY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: INTERDISCIPLINARY REFLECTIONS The world of government and public administration has traveled far since the early days of its struggle for disciplinary independence. Lately, there has been talk of the advent of a new spirit in the public sector, or at least expectations of its coming. Some say that such a spirit is already here. Others aver we are witnessing only the tip of change. The world wide globalization process supported by stronger orientations towards open markets, open highways of information, growing levels of organizational learning and interdisciplinarity in the social sciences have also made their impact on the study of our bureaucracies. Yet by all definitions public administration in the beginning of the 2000s still lacks the sense of identity that other fields of the social sciences has long since obtained. In other words, the Have you looked outside lately at the world of government and administration? Have you noticed a strange scent in the air indicating the arrival of a new spirit in the public sector? Some people say it is already here. Others say we have only witnessed the edge of the change. Yet by all definitions public administration at the beginning of the 2000s is looking for its way forward. Today, it is already much different from what it used to be forty, thirty, and even twenty or ten years ago. In the coming years it is going to be even more different. field is looking back and down into its...

By Ryan Boland While the donation of appreciated securities—stocks, bonds and mutual funds—is common, relatively few individuals donate real estate to charity. Under specific circumstances, however, such a donation can be mutually advantageous to both the giver (the owner of the real estate) and the recipient (the charitable organization). At a most basic level, those circumstances are: (1) when the property in question has significant long-term appreciation, such that the owner would incur a sizable capital gains tax upon selling it, and (2) when the property is relatively easy for the charitable organization to liquidate, with minimal chance for incurring liability or major carrying costs prior to the sale. These conditions are most frequently met by individuals seeking to donate a long-held primary or secondary home. The donation of commercial or industrial real estate...

...Evolution of Health Care Information Systems Wendy F Superable HCS/533 January 26,2015 Evolution of Health Care Information Systems The world has changed a lot in the past 20 years. The advancement of new technology and the Internet has transformed the way we work and even where we do our work from. The evolution of technology affected a lot of things and some of those are information exchange and health care. Health information technology has enormous potential in reducing health care cost and improving outcomes by changing how healthcare is delivered. According to World Health Organization (2008), “The health information system collects data from the health sector and other relevant sectors, analyses the data and ensures their overall quality, relevance”. In 2010, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and HITECH Act was signed into law by President Obama, health care IT became the central component for a safe, high quality health care system. The goal is to have a nationwide healthcare system transformation. Hospitals, health care providers and other health care institutions are mandated to adopt electronic health records (EHR) system to improve safety and quality and contain cost and inefficiencies. The government even has incentive programs for those institutions and providers that have become “meaningful users” of the EHR system. Soon the government will also penalize those who will not adopt the system (Glaser, J.P., Lee, F.W., & Wager, K.A...
