Question

The members who make up our government work together to keep things safe and take care

of our needs. Each person does their part to make sure things run smoothly. How do each of
the different pathways in the Government and Public Administration work together to help?
In this activity, you will create a mind map showing the different pathways that can be found
in the Government & Public Administration cluster. A mind map is a sketch or diagram that
you can design yourself to organize your ideas. It could look like a tree with different
branches or a park with different paths! Whatever you decide, you will put each pathway on a
different spot on your mind map
Under each pathway, you will give one example of a job found in each pathway.
Write a short note beside the job, explaining where you might find this person
List at least one task that they accomplish to keep things running for us.
When you have completed your mind map, take a photo of it and upload to your instructor
