The identification of the relationship between the indicated framework and the contents of PA600 is clearly shown. This shows that you have carefully looked into the relationship between the two items. Ethics is iconic in the decision-making process and decision makers should be keen tom apply ethical considerations (American Society for Public Administration, 2013). You have clearly addressed the basic requirements addressed in PA600 with regard to how they have been highlighted in the framework. Evidently, your work indicates that you did a through comparison of the contentof the two content sources in question. You indicated the availability of principles making up the ASPA code of ethics, which sets standard for making ethical decisions just like the framework.
This is a good piece of work. You have properly highlighted the item that is most useful in your profession. This shows competence in understanding the framework and the concepts that it addresses. The facts of a situation are indeed important since they are not necessarily, what people expect to find or to hear (Velasquez, 2009, p.15). You have highlighted that people ought to be conscious while making decisions in order to ensure that they do not arrive at the wrong decisions. We should understand the facts about things before we begin to act on them (American Society for Public Administration, 2013).
You have stated clearly an area of your work where the appropriate content of the framework was not followed. Knowing the facts is important as it helps the decision maker to have firm grounds on which to base the decision so as to apply them appropriately in the work situation (Velasquez, 2009, p.25). This indicates that you got the concepts addressed in the framework and that you are able to apply them appropriately in various cases that you handle in your work. You have related the failure of the other investigators with the appropriate procedure that was necessary to follow which they overlooked so that the results of failure to follow the framework were devastating. This indicates you have clearly understood the framework.
