For this assignment you will need to find a public administrator to interview. You may want to reach out to your local government and ask if you can interview your local City Manager or even the Parks & Recreation Manager. The interview could take anywhere from 15-60 minutes depending on the level of detail discussed. Below is a list of sample questions that you will want to ask in your interview. You will also need to develop your own questions to add to this list. Once the interview is complete you will submit a 3-4 page summary and reflection of the interview including a list of the questions discussed and a record of your interviewee’s answers. You may want to record the interview in order to provide an accurate record of your participant’s responses. In writing your reflection, consider what you learned from this experience and how it applies to your interests in public administration. Questions you will want to ask: 1. Describe your current position. 2. What are your organizations goals, values, and/or mission statement? 3. How did you come to work as a public administrator? 4. What is the most challenging aspect of your role? 5. What do you find most enjoyable about this line of work? 6. What do you find it the least enjoyable thing about this line of work? 7.

Part 1: For this Unit Project, you will be writing a satirical essay addressing a problem in your community. You may choose community on any level: local, school, national, or world. You may choose a topic as large as global warming or as focused as uniforms in your high school. I recommend choosing something on the national scale for ease of research.Click on the link in the Red Box to view the Project Rubrics for this project.Possible topics could include:Global warmingHealth careFood stamps or unemployment benefitsGun controlImmigrationNSA domestic surveillanceGay marriageMarijuana legalizationNational debtEducation reformThese are a few suggestions, but you may choose any topic that you can satirize. (The exception to this is abortion rights. This topic is off-limits for this essay.)Once you have chosen a topic, your paper should explain the debate:What are the arguments on either side?What logical, ethical, and emotional appeals are used?Who are the key figures in the debate (politicians, actors, news pundits, etc)?Use a minimum of four quotes, properly cited.Then, propose a ridiculous solution to the problem. Proceed with your paper by using logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to make a satirical case as to why your ridiculous solution is the "best" solution.Your whole essay should be written in a satirical tone, in the way that Swift does in Modest Proposal. (You can also refer to Stephen Colbert as an excellent modern example.) Sell your solution!You must use all three of the following satirical devices:Exaggeration or hyperboleUnderstatementIrony or SarcasmPart 2: Now that you have constructed your satirical argument, turn that into a multi-media presentation.
