Input question

Pm En kritisk undersøgelse af de psykologiske mekanismer bag ansvarsfralæggelse i det danske bureaukrati, med specifikt fokus på silotænkning, gruppetænkning og magthierarkiernes pres. Lektionen skal analysere, hvordan embedsmænd mister deres individuelle dømmekraft, når systemet bliver en selvopretholdende organisme. Brug kilden 'Hvem har ansvaret?' som fundament, men vær kritisk over for dens samtidskontekst og inddrag perspektiver på hverdagens konformitet og systemets magt over individet.
