For our next Application Activity, take a minute and write down your views and perceptions of the public sector. Are your perceptions positive or negative? Next, are you intrigued by the possibility of working in the public sector? Why or why not? Write down your responses. Third, review your perceptions about the public sector. Where do you think these attitudes came from? Were they informed by your friends and family? Direct experiences with the public sector? The news media? Be honest with yourself; you may not even be able to pinpoint where these attitudes come from—most of us probably cannot (your author included!). Now, hold on to these reflections as we explore the origins of these perceptions and attitudes.
