Assignment Description
Primary Response is due by Thursday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Saturday (11:59:59pm Central).
Primary Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200–250 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
Part of public administration is learning about public policy and its various types. However, there are several policies—starting at the local level up to the government level—that could affect a small community or an entire country. A major aspect to consider is that this is a system of laws, regulatory measures, courses of action, and funding priorities that may determine which policies are approved and which are denied. All of these aspects involve efforts of special interest groups trying to influence policy makers to approve or deny the policies that affect those special interest groups the most. Some policies starting at the local level are the following:
Medical and recreational marijuana
School vaccinations
Camping within city limits
These are just a few ideas on public policy made at local levels going up to the government level.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
Review a small policy topic within your state (e.g., education funding, marijuana, and minimum wage), and present a brief summary of the current state of that policy.
In your own opinion, why is this policy important?
Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 50–100-word reply about their Primary Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following question:
What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates’ postings?
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
