In the U.S., we hold particular views about how we reward and punish individuals for their actions. We do not condone an eye for an eye as do some other countries, and we are sometimes criticized for being soft on crime. How do we generally reward, punish, or distribute good or bad, as defined in the text, and which theories do you think we follow primarily? How does this compare to at least one country other than the U.S. that holds a different perspective? Provide examples from the popular press as well as peer-reviewed sources to support your global comparative analysis.

Using the theoretical concepts throughout the text, analyze the distribution of wealth in America, focusing on how trends in wealth disparity impacts your work as a public administrator. Compare this to wealth distribution in at least one other country.
