Chapter 13 Blog

1. Research federal agencies and explain which one you feel is the most important one and why?

I feel that the Children's Bureau is the most important federal agency. It was the first federal agency dedicated to the welfare of children. It addressed some of the Nation's major social issues throughout history. The early emphasis was on infant immortality, dependent children, and child labor. Today the focus is on child abuse, neglect prevention, foster care, and adoption services. It is important to protect the young children, because they are our future. This federal agency was a very important role in our future.

2. Which federal agency could be terminated with the least impact (if any) and why?

All of the federal agencies seem to play an important role in today's society. I feel that none could really be terminated without causing a huge impact on how we live.

3. Are any new agencies needed?  In other words, if you were president would you create new agencies?  If so, in what area(s)?

I am not sure if any new federal agencies are really needed. There are a ton of federal agencies that cover all kinds of subjects. If someone presented me with an area that needed a federal agency, then I would give a great deal of thought, before creating a new one.
