Evolution of Public Administration in Woodrow Wilson's The study of Public Administration

Woodrow Wilson, as the 28th President of the United States, enacted some of the most sweeping economic overhauls the American government has ever seen. The "Professor President", by compromising and cutting deals, was able to bring to life his vision of reform in the business world. The Underwood-Simmons bill, the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Anti-Trust Act were all brought about by Wilson as tools to further his goal of taking away power from the large corporations and banks and giving it to the small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Public Administration is the implementation of the government policy and also it’s the discipline that studies the implementation and prepares civil servants for working in public service. Its goal is to advance management and policies so that the government is able to function. In Public Administration a lot of topics are discussed, but if it weren’t for the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Federalist papers. How far would the world get on a day to day bases?

"Classical Organizational Theory deals with the 'systematic processes necessary to make bureaucracy more efficient and effective.' Name three scholars that are credited with the development of classical organization thought that most correctly fit into this definition of Classical Organizational Theory. What were the basic arguments articulated by each in their contributions to the development of Classical Organizational Theory?"

I have taken this from an external source to show the power of idealism, and how Woodrow was perceived.

After America had finally established itself as an industrialized and urbanized nation to be reckoned with, the country had turned to follow a new set of ideologies described as progressive thinking; hence, the following of the Progressive Era. The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform that spread across the United States, and was in a response to problems that arose from immigration, industrialization, urbanization, and governmental corruption. Following the Presidential Election in 1912, this set of progressive ideologies was most sought after in a presidential candidate. This is one of the main reasons why Woodrow Wilson had won. Although many other candidates had also followed these progressive

Woodrow Wilson and The Presidency From the beginning of the 1912 election, the people could sense the new ideas of Woodrow Wilson would move them in the right direction. Wilson's idea of New Freedom would almost guarantee his presidential victory in 1912. In contrast to Wilson's New Freedom, Roosevelt's New Nationalism called for the continued consolidation of trusts and labor unions, paralleled by the growth of powerful regulatory agencies. Roosevelt's ideas were founded in the Herbert Croly's novel, The Promise Of American Life written in 1910. Although both Wilson and Roosevelt favored a more active government role in economic and social affairs, Wilson's favored small enterprise, entrepreneurship, and the free functioning of

In 1900, the government was unresponsive to the wants of laborers because lawmakers favored business owners rather than employees. This can be shown in the Supreme Court’s undermining of the ICC which was a direct response to farmer-labor demands. With hostile courts and Congress, labor turned to collective bargaining with employers to get their demands addressed. (Henretta, Hinderaker, Edwards, & Self, 2015, p.520).

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt is the 26th president of the United States. He served for almost two complete terms from 1901 to 1908; one unofficial term, where he was not elected, and one official term. He wanted every citizen to be treated fair and square hence his “square deal.” He used his executive power to address problems both at home and abroad. He was a nationalist and imperialist who transformed the United States into a global power. Teddy supported Progressivism, labor reforms, civil service and social reforms, and labor movements. He used his strong executive power to promote morality and social change, which made him one of the most well-liked and vigorous presidents. His reforms struck down corrupt, big businesses controlled by the wealthy few and fought corruption to help the disadvantaged poor by improving working conditions and worker compensation. The government

Public Administration, as a field, had always captivated me right from my undergraduate days. I believe my curiosity for this field comes from my family. Both my father and my uncle were politicians. During my early days, I used to go to my father’s office where I had a great chance to observe different kinds of people with various jobs and interests. This was the first time I learned how mutual interests bring people together. When I understood how public relations work naturally, it forced me strongly to study and comprehend the complex theory of politics. After finishing high school, I made up my mind to pursue a career in Political Science. For this reason, I was enrolled to Istanbul Bilgi University’s Political Science program. After

Between the terms of Andrew Johnson to Jimmy Carter, the president that I felt was the most effective was John F. Kennedy because strong on foreign policy, cutting taxes, civil rights, and an inspiration to the country. He told people, we should to go to the Moon, which was one of the best things America ever achieved. Here’s a great quote on his economic philosophy and in his words. Kennedy said, “I believe in an America where the free enterprise system flourishes for all other systems to see and admire – where no businessman lacks either competition or credit – and where no monopoly, no racketeer, no government bureaucracy can put him out of business that he built up with his own initiative.” With all that said, I believe he had the right

Bureaucrat is a dirty word to some people in modern society, so how can a bureaucracy be a good thing? Many Public Administration theorist, argue that bureaucracy is essential to the growth and expansion of the United States. Most of the criticism of the bureaucracy within the government is based on myth versus reality. Federal agencies play a critical and a valuable role within society and are indispensable to the operations of the federal government. Bureaucracy can be simply defined as the system in which decision are made by Public Administrators rather than elected officials (legislator) within the government. However, when the average citizen of just says the single word bureaucracy thoughts and images of evoked over how negative

To become a public administrator, you must have the ability to work with different people from different background, different age groups, and various economy classes. A Public administrator cannot be biased towards one group of people and turn around and be favorable towards the other. As an administrator, you have to be transparent to everybody that you encounter, even people that you will be working with, and people that you are working for. According to the publication, “Ethical Dilemmas in the Public Service,” by the Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management, describes that the ethical issue that government officials face in any organization is nepotism and bias. The reason why this event occurs is that some of the individuals in the public administrative positions are not transparent in the workplace and are also influenced by personal gain.

By discussing some of the advantages and disadvantages of administration and politics dichotomy, an opinion of whether it is useful or impossible will be made. Wilson’s politics administration dichotomy refers to the idea that administrative decisions need to be made without political influence. One argument to this is that politics has transformed, let’s say, the role of a city manager from a neutral expert to a problem solver and dichotomy should be replaced with an expanded base of professional values for them.

When the word Public Administration come accross one’s mind, people would think of government civil workers and bureaucracy in government office. However, Public Administration is wider than that. It comprises of many part among them are technical issues,financal issues and ethical issues.Among many of them is the importance of manegerial technique, a characteristic where an organization such as government office should have in order to organize, planned, co-ordinate and budgetting. Government office is a big
