Assignment 1: LASA 2: Analyzing a Social Policy In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice. Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Analyze the policy and address the following: The social problem addressed by the policy What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms? What is the history of the problem/s in the United States? What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s? The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy? What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives? What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy? Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy? Effects of the policy Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend? Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee? Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy. Implications of the Policy Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups? Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy? Alternative Policies What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice?

Your process will involve seeking sources of information that may include facts, statistics, historical writings, and current media influences. A research paper presents the results of your investigations on a selected topic. Based on your own thesis and the facts and ideas you have gathered from a variety of sources, a research paper is a creation that is uniquely yours. The experience of gathering, interpreting, and documenting information, developing and organizing ideas and conclusions, and communicating them clearly will prove to be an important and satisfying part of your education and are most certainly valuable in the field of Communication Studies.

Overview: You will choose a contemporary political issue and propose a solution by your conception of the public good. You will have the opportunity to take a position on both your understanding of the public good and what you believe is the most effective solution to the problem you have chosen. Support for your positions will be drawn from scholarly, academic sources. You will be required to find sources examining the problem from diverse methodological perspectives using both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will evaluate the overall effectiveness of these methods in analyzing the issue. In order to promote a well-rounded analysis of the issue, you will be required to analyze sources that present a perspective contrary to the solution you propose and evaluate these arguments in an even-handed manner. At this point, you have completed both Milestone One and Two to prepare you for your rough draft. You have selected a contemporary political issue, described why it is important to you and how it is relevant to the real-world practice of politics, as well as summarized the current literature relevant to your issue in a literature review. In Module Six, you will submit a rough draft of your final paper. Incorporate information from both Milestones One and Two into your rough draft. The rough draft will include the same elements as the final paper, but will not go into as much detail. This rough draft will help you prepare for completing the final paper, due in Module Nine. Prompt: Specifically, the following critical elements must be included in your rough draft: · An introduction, including: o A quick background for your chosen contemporary political issue o A clear outline of your research · A personal theory of the public good, including answers to the following: o How do you define the concept of the public good? o How does your definition fit within broader discourses concerning the public good? o What benefits and costs/trade-offs are associated with your definition of the public good? · A chosen contemporary political issue, including answers to the following: o What contemporary political issue have you chosen to analyze? o How is the problem relevant to the real-world practice of politics? o To whom do you believe the problem is most relevant? o How does the issue you have chosen fit within the concept of the public good that you have outlined above? · A methodology, including answers to the following: o How do the quantitative and qualitative sources you have chosen analyze the issue? o What methodological perspectives are represented by the sources you have chosen? o How has the research informed your approach to conceptualizing the issue? o What ethical implications are raised by the articles you have analyzed? · Some solutions, including answers to the following: o How do you think the problem can be most effectively addressed? o How have perspectives contrary to your own position info.

Now that you have been assigned an issue, it is time to focus on the research for the project. Policy briefs, or memos as they are sometimes called, differ from typical academic research papers in some respects. Their main purpose is to provide analysis and recommendations to a limited audience of policymakers and their staffs so that they can make an informed decision. These people do not have lots of time to do their own research and read long documents. Therefore, the brief must give the policymaker access to a lot of information in a clear, concise and well-organized fashion. Part I . Describe and Define the Issue/Problem . In defining an issue, you take a position on the scope and seriousness of the problem and identify one or more causes. How do we know that the problem really exists? How does the problem manifest itself? What is the severity of the problem and who is affected most? Who and how many people are affected (supply metrics if available)? What are the various costs of the problem to individuals, communities and the nation? What are the cause or causes of the problem? What is the evidence to link the cause to the problem? If multiple causes exist, identify root and proximate causes. Focus your more in depth analysis on only one or two of the causes. Use numbers and comparisons to help readers understand the problem. (Should not exceed 4 pages) . Part II . Describe and Discuss the Merits of the Policy Alternatives . What alternative approaches exist for reducing or eliminating the problem or mitigating its effects? Discuss at least two. (The alternatives may exist only on paper or they may have already been adopted by some jurisdictions. They may be your own alternative or those that you have borrowed from others.) What steps can the federal/state/local government take to address the problem? Assess the different approaches in terms of their promise for reducing the problem and their costs and benefits to society. Which do you think would be most effective and what would be the cost? (some of the benefits and costs may be difficult to quantify and monetize, but should still be noted). (Should not exceed 4 pages) . Part III . Assess Political Feasibility and Make a Recommendation . Choose one or two alternatives and discuss its/their political feasibility. Would there be enough political support to gain approval of your preferred alternative? What might be done to gain the support of or circumvent potential opponents? (For this part of the project you may consider political feasibility at the national, state or local levels.) (Should not exceed 3 pages) Page limits do not include list of references at the end of document and any charts, tables or appendixes. PAGE LIMIT SHOULD BE 8-10 PAGES ONLY. Format and Sources. Your drafts should be type-written, double-spaced with one-inch margins and 12-point font. Think about how to organize the brief to highlight the important points;.
