This is a book that could provide academia and anyone in the areas of Sociology, Business, Political Science, Public Administration, Policy and Law an example of how a government agency is created, functions and evolves. I wanted to give a sociological, public administrative and business view into the details of how a government idea is born of necessity. I also wanted to give an example of how stresses and powers contribute to the character of an agency. I also wanted to illustrate how an agency evolves, succeeds and sustains through changing times, to remain relevant. This social science book is written from the perspective of an author that is a Bachelor’s in Sociology and a Master’s in Public Administration Management graduate. The author has also had experience working in both the private sector and government sector combined for over twenty-five years plus at the time of this publication. The author has completed research projects and admires the theory and related research of functionalism, in terms of how society has structure and order that can be researched using social science.
