Advocating for Public Policy/Social policy
Identify one or more official policy actor(s) most responsible for the public policy issue you are exploring and assess their role(s) in evaluating/implementing/blocking this public policy issue. Be specific.
Identify one or more unofficial policy actor(s) most responsible for the public policy issue you are exploring and assess their role(s) in evaluating/implementing/blocking this public policy issue. Be specific.
Consider what research may help assess your current policy or issue and tailor it to the relevant actor or audience. (For example, is there a lack of current or relevant data on this issue? Are there externalities that have not been fully understood? Are there new academic perspectives that have not been considered in the policy process?)
Using your readings and class presentations as guidelines, develop three research questions related to your topic of interest.
Please also relate the topic to Scripture/biblical principles where appropriate, add biblical verses and analyze them from a biblical perspective.
