So first, here's a reminder of what advocacy is (as well as what it's not). 1  Advocacy is active promotion of a cause or principle. 2  Advocacy involves actions that lead to a selected goal. 3  Advocacy is one of many possible strategies, or ways to approach a problem.
Written Reprimand. A written reprimand typically is a serious disciplinary action the employee's supervisor delivers during a private conference, although a reprimand for egregious actions may be given during a disciplinary conference with a manager present as a witness.
A reprimand is considered a slap on the wrist and can be given in private and even in a letter. Censure, on the other hand, is a form of public shaming in which the politician must stand before his peers to listen to the censure resolution as it is read out against him for all to hear. This is what Rangel had to endure on Thursday.
