When we speak of ethics, we often focus on underlying values and principles. Much of that discussion is based on the individual. As public administrators, we need to be concerned with creating an ethical agency, not just developing or refining our own ethics. When we speak of an ethical environment, we are often looking at the organizational culture. An organizational culture is that collected of shared values, beliefs, practices, traditions, jargon, humor, and so much more that makes the organization unique. Based on your readings and experiences:

· What do you believe should be the characteristics or components you need to develop in your organization to have an ethical organizational culture?

· What do you believe should be the characteristics or components we need to eliminate from your organization to avoid having an unethical organizational culture?

For this assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation:

Create a PowerPoint presentation with detailed presentation notes section completed. This approach uses a PowerPoint with detailed notes in the presentation notes area at the bottom of each slide. The presentation notes are a transcript of the presentation you would make if showing the presentation to an audience.

In presenting the information to the new employees, the PowerPoint must include the following:

1. Title slide.

2. Purpose slide.

3. Content slide(s).

4. Summary slide.

5. References slide.

Based on the guidelines, the presentation must have a minimum of six slides. With one content slide for each of the bullet points in the assignment, you will need at least two slides for content, but you may use as many as you need.

Be sure to appropriately cite and reference your sources in current APA style.
