After the reading, write a thorough analysis and include one question you have about the reading(s) OR
include a link to the “real world”. A question could be about something you didn’t understand in one of the
readings, something related to the topic that wasn’t discussed, something connecting two week’s together, or
any other question that comes to mind. A “real world” link could include a song, music video, podcast,
newspaper article, current event, personal experience, meme or other image, or anything else that relates to
the week’s readings. You should include a link to what you’re talking about or briefly (in 1-3 sentences) explain
what it is. Then, in 1-2 sentences, explain how you think it relates to the week’s topic. This is graded based on
how much engagement you show in the readings and topics of the week. You do not need an introduction or
conclusion, but you should write in full sentences and refer back to the readings whenever possible. You may
provide short quotes from the readings if you would like (include page # for the quote), but you should explain
in your own words why this quote is significant to you. You can use the PDF readings I will attach below You
can use these guiding questions for your analysis: How are trans men treated at work, and how do their
experiences illuminate how structural disadvantages for women are reproduced in workplace interactions?
How does it also reflect racial inequalities? And, how are women shouldering the burden of the COVID-19
pandemic, both at work, volunteering, and at home?

Sample Solution

While a set of frameworks complement and build on each other, the delineation of the concept focuses heavily on vertical versus horizontal dimensions in a time-sliced fashion. That is, time dimension in accountability has not been of primary importance. However, it is worth noting that the time dimension is closely interrelated with a series of conceptual distinctions made in previous literature, and it may cover complementary aspects of the question concerning two sequential lines represented by administrative responsibility versus political accountability. First, the positioning of accountability actors depends on the time dimension. Civil servants usually have longer terms to serve the public interest over the long term. At the same time, they are responsible to the elected representatives of the public who tend to have “a limited time horizon” and “prefer policies that yield tangible benefits for constituents in the near term” (Posner, 2004: 137). For this reason, the priorities expressed by elected officials may be far more related to short-term issues and temporal problems instead of long-term solutions, whereas the long-lasting forms of civil service personnel would prioritize sustainable solutions to secure a long-term perspective of the citizens, both current and in the future. Second, the time frame is essential to distinguishing between two main streams of accountability. Accountability mechanisms focus predominantly on retroactive accountability for the past outcomes, while accountability as a virtue takes a proactive approach to ensuring ethical behaviors in the future. The timeline is also useful to distinguishing between ex ante accountability of the decision-making process leading up to the decision and ex post accountability where the results available from the decision already taken or where questions of compliance are identified and addressed. In other words, ex ante accountability refers to being accountable for the decision before an administrator act, while ex post accountability is suggestive of situations where administrators are accountable for the outcome of their decisions. For example, the focus of traditional bureaucratic administration is very much
