Influence of interest groups on public policy
http://www.publicintegrity.org/2000/09/05/3272/commentary-lawsuit-against-clean-air-act-members-congress (Links to an external site.)
One way interest groups influence public policy is simply with the reputation their group (or members) displays. There are many different ways this can be done but typically these are institutional groups such as the church (178). This website is an article is about the interest group, House Committee on Energy and Commerce and their hand in a victory in court against the Clean Air Act. Although there is some conflict in this article as whether or not these lobbyists’ actions were ethical, it shows that well known lobbyists can have great influence on decision making. These men made it a point to have their prestigious law firms posted on the briefs they prepared, a way of trying to show their influence to the cause. Peters describes this as “their actions are legitimated through the prestige of the institution” (178).
https://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/limiting-influence-special-interests#transcript (Links to an external site.)
This website has the remarks by President Obama about the Disclose Act. This act would force corporate political advertisers to disclose where they get their funding during the time when their special interests were campaigning. Although this is generally not about the process of public policy I felt like it is a good example of limiting interest groups of their influence and to what extent the limit has impact. Peters discusses this idea when he states how important access to the political process and influence is to interest groups and when limited conflict between the two can arise (170-171). Ideas of corporatism are also within this example. Corporatism restricts the number on interest groups involved in the policy process (171).
http://www.c-span.org/video/?65467-1/policy-media-strategies (Links to an external site.)
One of the most powerful ways interest groups influence public policy is going straight to the public. Interest groups go out to neighborhoods and businesses or hold forums to spread the word on the topic at hand. Another popular way with interest groups to reach the public is with marches. Protests are also used by interest groups to get their point across. These actions are in Peters’ book where he states that things causing conflict, such as the possibility with protests or marches, are what will bring light to policy needs and potential solutions (174-175). The website is a video on C-Span on how interest groups and politicians try to get support from the public.

Chapter 9
Many businesses have utilized the services of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), well known for its role in shaping conservative legislation and lobbying influ- ence. It has advocated against health care reform, to reduce state taxes on businesses, and to limit the political influence of labor unions. ALEC also was instrumental in many states in the creation of “stand your ground” laws, under which citizens were given the right to use guns or other weapons to protect themselves against assailants. After the public back- lash in the Treyvon Martin case in 2012—in which a black teenager was shot to death in Florida and his assailant defended his actions by claiming protection under Florida’s “stand your ground” law—many businesses began to distance themselves from ALEC. In 2012 Walmart joined other firms, such as Amazon.com, Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, McDonald’s, General Electric, Sprint Nextel, and a dozen more, bending to pressure from civil rights groups. Walmart was the largest seller of firearms in the country and the largest employer of black workers and thus particularly vulnerable to protests surrounding the Treyvon Martin case. Walmart’s public affairs vice president explained the company’s action by saying, “ALEC had strayed from its core mission to advance the Jeffersonian principles of free markets.”
One industry that has been active in the political arena is solar power. Because solar energy has historically been more expensive to produce than fossil fuel energy, the indus- try has relied heavily on government incentives and subsidies to level the playing field. Although some major energy companies have entered the solar business, most of the 3,400 solar companies in the United States are small, such as Namasté Solar, a Boulder, Colorado, firm of 60 employees that installs solar energy systems for commercial and residential customers. The solar industry’s trade association, the Solar Energy Industries Association, has been very active in government affairs and advocacy, winning a number of policy victories. The federal stimulus bills of 2008 and 2009 provided tax credits, grants, and loans for solar installations and companies that made solar equipment (one of which, Solyndra, later failed). States—such as Hawaii, which required all new construc- tion to have solar water heaters by 2010—and cities—such as Berkeley, California, which loans money to residents to install solar panels—have also helped the industry with friendly policies.1
As the examples above demonstrate, many businesses—big and small—have become active participants in the political process to promote a variety of goals, from supporting organizations charged with developing legislation to support economic development and job growth to lobbying government regulators through a trade association to receive tax credits and grants. They are not always successful, however, as seen in the political part- nership of businesses with ALEC, which took on a ...
This document analyzes lobbying in the United States. It discusses how lobbying is defined differently by pro-business stakeholders who see it as a way to advance business versus citizen groups who see it as undue corporate influence. It also examines actions that have been taken to regulate lobbying, such as the McCain-Feingold Act, and potential future actions like the American Anti-Corruption Act that aims to restrict lobbyist influence and increase transparency. Public opinion on lobbying is mixed, with many seeing corporations as having too much influence but others valuing free speech rights. There remains little agreement on how to balance these perspectives.
1- Question about the budget and impoundment control act.One o.docxSONU61709
1- Question about the budget and impoundment control act.
One of the more significant budgetary laws that congress has enacted in recent decades was the budget and impoundment control act of 1974. The authors of this law sought to bring about some fairly significant changes in both the processes of federal budgeting and in the distribution of institutional political power related to budgeting. What were the major problems that led congress to enact this law? Describe the most significant 1) procedural steps and 2) institutional power changes that the law created. In addition, give at least one example of how this law functioned in a budgetary struggle between the president and congress. Finally, evaluate the usefulness of this law by showing where it has fulfilled the goals of its authors and by describing the new problems it may have created.
2- Question about off budget enterprises.
Today, a substantial number of governmental enterprises, federal and state, are categorized as “off-budget” this name means their activities are not subject to periodic budgetary review by elected executives or legislatures because such enterprises can sustain themselves with self-generated revenue. this revenue, in turn, alleviates the necessity of legislative appropriations for operating or capital expenses. Discuss the nature of these enterprises. In doing so, pay particular attention to defining what off-budget enterprises are, explain the policy related factors that account for their existence, show how some of them operate in secondary financial markets, and describe the most serious long term financial threats they pose to the nation.

Special interest groups drive the American political system.docxwrite5
Special interest groups play a major role in driving the American political system at all levels of government. They generate campaign funds and volunteers for politicians, who need these resources to get elected and pass legislation. These groups use tactics like lobbying, political donations, reports, and public relations campaigns to influence policymakers and further their agendas. While their goals may help certain constituencies, critics argue they can impede reforms that benefit consumers or society overall. There is no consensus on how to limit their impact under democratic principles of free speech and association.
The document discusses interest groups in the European Union. It states that while interest groups have weakened the EU's power, politicians also collaborate with interest groups to gain advantages. Interest groups are private firms that can provide studies and expertise to political actors. Large interest groups and firms tend to have the most influence due to their greater resources. Consequently, interest groups can both help and hinder the EU decision-making process depending on their agenda and level of resources.

Chapter 4: Legal, Regulatory, and Political Issues
Unit Lesson
Introduction
Of course, businesses do not operate in a vacuum. Businesses are subject to the environment within which
they operate. This environment includes the legal, regulatory, and political framework. These factors are
dynamic and subject to considerable variance. Organizations must be cognizant of these changes and adapt
as appropriate.
Legal, Regulatory, and Political Issues
In Chapter 4, we examine the influence of various stakeholders on public officials who regulate business.
Governmental policies, public sentiment, and ethical dilemmas serve as principal factors restricting market
opportunities, but they also serve as catalysts for value-creating opportunities. Of course, a key to our
discussion in this unit is that the legal, regulatory, and political framework is subject to change. In that regard,
businesses must monitor their environment and respond to change as it occurs. For example, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) prevents food manufacturers from taking advantage of consumers with false
and misleading advertising by allowing only FDA-approved nutrient and health claims to appear on food
labels (FDA, n.d.). Meanwhile, health-conscious consumers are demanding more food choices that support
healthy dietary practices.
Food manufacturers and retailers can capitalize on the opportunity to meet the dietary needs of consumers by
providing healthier food selections and enticing consumer purchases with informative labeling that not only
meets FDA approval, but also serves as promotional advertising. Once held responsible for obesity and other
dietary concerns, fast food businesses are expanding their menus to offer healthier choices and are becoming
more transparent about the content of the foods served. An emerging issue of interest in this area is the
regulation of sugar in drinks. For example, the City of New York has moved to regulate the sugar content of
drinks because sugary drinks are viewed as driving obesit ...

This document outlines the learning outcomes and content covered in Unit III of a business course. The unit examines the legal, regulatory, and political issues that influence business. It discusses key concepts like the nonmarket environment, government oversight of business, political strategies, and lobbying. Laws and regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank are also summarized. The unit aims to help students understand how businesses must navigate the dynamic legal and political factors that impact their operations.
Tracking legislation enables organizations to limit their
exposure to such costs. With early notification of
emerging measures, organizations can have an impact
on the legislative process well before those measures

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of

, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens.

Tort Law Problem
Andrew Black is the owner of Confederation Mall (“Mall”) located in New Minas, Nova Scotia. Mr. Black leases out many retail spaces in the Mall to a wide range of businesses. He prides himself as a local success story. The people of New Minas truly admire his entrepreneurial success.
George Orange, owner of Guppy World, a pet fish store, has been a long-time tenant of Confederation Mall. Colin and Darren work for Mr. Orange. Colin was repairing a ceiling fan when he asked Darren to toss him a screwdriver, as Colin was up on a step-ladder at the time. Darren, standing 15 feet away, underhand tosses the screwdriver to Colin. Darren overshoots the toss and the screwdriver shatters a glass fish tank containing a piranha fish. At the same time a customer, Sally, was walking towards the check-out to purchase fish food, when she slipped on the water from the broken tank, fell to the floor and fractured her wrist. She is also bitten on the ankle by the piranha. When Mr. Orange tried to assist Sally, he smelled a strong smell of alcoholic beverage coming from her mouth.

THIS ISTHE CASE STUDY ATTACHED IS THE DIRECTIONS ON OW TO COMPLETE THE TASK.
Case Study Analysis
When it comes to planning events how many of us take the proper steps and put in the time and how many of us wait till the last minute to plan our event? What's the outcome of an event that has had the proper planning? Usually, a properly planned event is a huge success, and people leave-taking away information that will help them either improve, grow as a person or be successful at their job. People who try to plan events without taking the proper steps find themselves running into many problems along the way. Before they know it, they are out of time to fix any issues or problems that arise. Running out of time can lead to frustration, panic, and eventually the thought of “what am I going to do". Even though the steps to planning an event can be time-consuming, proper planning can ease frustration and anxiety, and lead to a successful event. Proper planning can eliminate the “What am I going to do” question.
Background
In the case study, Carl Robins did not plan for his event very well. He hired 15 new trainees and wanted to schedule a new hire orientation on June 15
th
. His goal was to have the new hires working by July. Carl had only been at his job for six months, and this was his first recruitment effort, so it is crucial for this event to work in Carl’s favor. Carl was contacted by Monica Carrolls, the soon to be Supervisor of the new hires, on May 15
th
. Monica was following up with Carl on how the planning for his orientation was going. She asked him about physicals, drug tests, the training schedule, orientation, manuals, and policy booklets. Carl told Monica that everything would be fine and ready to go in time for orientation. After Memorial Day, Carl finally decided to start planning for his event. Unfortunately; because Carl did not do any planning after hiring the fifteen new trainees and waited till the last minute to plan his event, he ran into multiple problems. When Carl finally decided to start planning for his event, he found that the training room where he was going to hold his orientation was booked for the whole month of June by a fellow associate named Joe. Joe was from technology services and needed the room for computer terminals. When he went to finalize the paperwork for his event, he found that some of the new hire trainees did not have completed transcripts or applications on file; nor had they gone to the clinic for their physicals and mandatory drug screenings. He then checked the orientation manuals and found that there were only three and that those three had missing pages. By now, Carl is very concerned, his anxiety is at a level high, and he is so frustrated that he sits with his head on his desk with the thought of “What am I going to do”.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of

I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens.

Application of legal principles to the facts is the most important and often the hardest step. I am more interested in how you arrived at your answer, than the actual conclusions that you draw.

Influence of interest groups on public policy
http://www.publicintegrity.org/2000/09/05/3272/commentary-
lawsuit-against-clean-air-act-members-congress (Links to an
external site.)
One way interest groups influence public policy is simply with
the reputation their group (or members) displays. There are
many different ways this can be done but typically these are
institutional groups such as the church (178). This website is
an article is about the interest group, House Committee on
Energy and Commerce and their hand in a victory in court
against the Clean Air Act. Although there is some conflict in
this article as whether or not these lobbyists’ actions were
ethical, it shows that well known lobbyists can have great
influence on decision making. These men made it a point to
have their prestigious law firms posted on the briefs they
prepared, a way of trying to show their influence to the cause.
Peters describes this as “their actions are legitimated through
the prestige of the institution” (178).
https://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/limiting-
influence-special-interests#transcript (Links to an external site.)
This website has the remarks by President Obama about the
Disclose Act. This act would force corporate political
advertisers to disclose where they get their funding during the
time when their special interests were campaigning. Although
this is generally not about the process of public policy I felt like
it is a good example of limiting interest groups of their
influence and to what extent the limit has impact. Peters
discusses this idea when he states how important access to the
2. political process and influence is to interest groups and when
limited conflict between the two can arise (170-171). Ideas of
corporatism are also within this example. Corporatism restricts
the number on interest groups involved in the policy process
(171).
http://www.c-span.org/video/?65467-1/policy-media-
strategies (Links to an external site.)
One of the most powerful ways interest groups influence public
policy is going straight to the public. Interest groups go out to
neighborhoods and businesses or hold forums to spread the
word on the topic at hand. Another popular way with interest
groups to reach the public is with marches. Protests are also
used by interest groups to get their point across. These actions
are in Peters’ book where he states that things causing conflict,
such as the possibility with protests or marches, are what will
bring light to policy needs and potential solutions (174-175).
The website is a video on C-Span on how interest groups and
politicians try to get support from the public.

Topics: Influence of interest groups on public policy &
Government regulation of business
Website #1 presents a government agency’s tool developed to
assist the public in dealing with business related regulation.
https://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/starting-
managing-business/starting-business/business-law-
regulations (Links to an external site.)
The Small Business Administration has a comprehensive
website designed to educate and assist prospective and current
small business owners, entrepreneurs and the public with
insightful information related to starting and maintaining a
3. small business. In addition, the site provides guidance and
tools to find, interpret, navigate and take advantage of
government regulations. The uninitiated can be overwhelmed
by the seemingly infinite amount of laws and regulations. With
that in mind, the SBA website can be very useful to small
business entrepreneurs to learn and take advantage government
programs. Some of the tools provided in the site are contract
writing, business plan writing, and how to apply for a small
business loans. . In essence, the SBA website can be a useful
resource to facilitate navigation through the challenges
associated with starting a small business.
Website #2 discusses the positive side of government regulation
of business
http://www.governmentisgood.com/articles.php?aid=21&p=2 (L
inks to an external site.)
The Government Is Good website has defenders of the public
sector point out the benefits enjoyed by our society associated
with government regulations. Some of these benefits far exceed
the costs to most businesses. Although some of these policies
may have a negative impact on some businesses’ profits and
growth, they establish order and provide direction toward
having a better society. For instance, environmental regulations
ensure drinkable water and breathable air for all of us. Another
illustration encompasses consumer and workplace regulations
that protect millions of people from harm. Lastly, minimum
wage laws help raise families out of poverty. In essence, and
in most cases government regulation has allowed American
society to be safer and healthier, and has created greater
economic security and economic equality.
Website #3 presents an article that briefly intertwines the
influence of interest groups on public policy and touches on the
government regulation of business.
http://www.economist.com/node/21547789 (Links to an external
site.)Over-Regulated America, The Economist, February 18,
2012
4. The Economist magazine is a comprehensive source of various
opinions on diverse subject areas, including interest groups and
government regulation. The author of the article argues that
regulations have become too complex and outlines that
regulations must be kept simple because they are more cost
effective to the government and the public. However, the
article presents that the complexity we find in American laws is
driven by to two factors; lawmakers and lobbyists. In one hand,
lawmakers want to enact laws to cover every situation. On the
other hand, lobbyists serve as the strategists for special interest
groups by seeking special favors. Peters (170) shares that
special interest groups just look at a narrower and more specific
view of the overall regulation or law. In essence, the author’s
vision endorses simpler regulation in order to allow regulators
ensure the laws are followed.

WK2 Key Ideas
1- Problems of Administrative Structure: United States (Peters,
pages 137-139)
According to Peters (138) there is a wide array of types of
organizations in the United States bureaucracy. Among them,
the Department of Defense stands out due to its size and
organizational structure. The DoD composition of a military
and a civilian workforce can be a clear representation of
bureaucratic and political administrative structures. The
military workforce tends to be representative of a more political
approach. This is because military members have short term
positions within various DoD agencies in order to network for
their next assignment. In addition, since the military workforce
takes a more nomadic approach because they have term limits to
their assignments. In contrast, the civilian workforce tends to
follow a more bureaucratic structure by providing a more
sedentary workforce. This provides a sense of constancy to the
department. Both workforces support the same objective, but
5. their responsibilities vary in nature.
Bureaucracy and Interest Groups (Peters, pages 169-171)
Peters (169) opens this section establishing that the decisions
stemming from the conflict between “…the demands of interest
groups and the role of bureaucracy…” as a cornerstone of
government. In other words, intervention by bureaucrats is
essential for the government to function. Interest groups
intervene in the decision-making process to instigate and point
government servants toward their group goals. Lobbyists tend
to be skilled operators representing special interest groups.
They have the tools and know-how of the legislative process in
order to gather support from government servants. Their goal is
generally to make cater to their special interest group by
influencing slight changes to bills prior to becoming law. These
changes to laws tend to benefit the special interest group
represented.
A recent example of special interest groups in the news are
some of the communities following Colorado’s legalization of
marijuana. This has led to an energized debate of the pros and
cons of marijuana legalization in many states. The debates are
generally composed of new tax revenue, the cost of regulation,
enforcement, and public safety.
3- Competition among Agencies (Peters, pages 202-204)
Another intriguing concept presented by Peters (203) is that of
bureaucratic competition. Peters argues that this type of
competition may affect government performance and/or lack of
coherence. Agencies generally have to compete or meet goals
set by their directorate or manager. Ultimately, many
government agencies need to justify their existence and/or
demonstrate their need for money for future budgets. As a
continuation of the example of the legalization of marijuana,
6. there are a handful of government agencies competing and
arguing for their own interests. For instance, the tax
department seeks to get money out of taxes generated by the
new cash crop. Law enforcement is going to be concerned as to
how many plants of marijuana are a legal amount to have in the
backyard of a house or how to measure the level of sobriety
when operating a motor vehicle. These are outcomes of when
marijuana becomes legalized in the local area. Agencies, with
varying objectives, find themselves competing for position in
order to gain budgetary visibility to address and fund the issues
associated with legalizing marijuana.
Response
The discussion of the key idea on Bureaucracy in the public
sector is well developed with a consistent flow of ideas. The
discussion present a cross-cutting point of view of the issues
surrounding the public sector. The economic part and the role of
the competition of the existing agencies happen to dictate the
development in the public sector. Despite the smooth flow of
key ideas and development of the point in an independent
manner, there are some minor problems that prevent the trust of
the reader.
The argument draws it references from the class text but fails to
give the in-text citation making the entire argument subject to
doubts. The citation techniques such as APA and MLA are not
used to support the argument that are borrowed from the text
and other academic sources. However, the flow of the idea
happens to be perfect for more example used from the real
world scenario. Generally, the argument forms a good
discussion that seeks to inform and enlighten.

2 Key Ideas
7. 1- Organization by area served, Peters, location 3184-3270
Organization by area served varies greatly between countries
and tends to be divided by the degree of centralization (2010,
Loc 3184). Peters identifies two options for addressing the
challenge or managing territories; these include controlling
policy implementation through the central government and
implementation through administrative means. Implementation
and control of policies through centralization takes the form of
intermediary representatives, commonly referred to as prefects.
The prefectoral systems tend to be more common in France,
Italy, and Japan (2010, Loc 3196). The more decentralized
version of policy implementation is commonly found in the
United States as well as other countries. This can be seen
through state and local government enforcing national policies;
however there are challenges with this type of governance as
well. These challenges include the way that policies are
interpreted, the way they are implemented, and to some extent if
they will be implemented (2010, Loc 3233).
Peters also discusses how decentralization can also be viewed as
a challenge by the public due to the increased size of
government, increased expenditures, and/or limited services.
Interestingly, the decentralization of government seems to be
intended to more efficiently support the areas served, even if
the impression is quite the opposite (2010, Loc 3270). The
decentralization is also intended to better support the cultural
differences amongst the public, but this again may not always
be interpreted to be the most effective or efficient.
2- Social movements and the bureaucracy, Peters, location
4506-4518
Social movements are discussed in terms of their similarities
and differences as interest groups. These types of interest
groups vary from conventional interest groups in that they tend
8. to be short-lived, focusing on a single issue; focus on social,
non-economic issues; and are less stable and institutionalized
(2010, Loc 4506). These groups also differ in that they do not
tend to interact directly with the government. Not all social
movements follow the differences previously identified. Peters
recognizes the environmental movement with some interest
groups that behavior conventionally and have remained relevant
over a longer period of time (2010, Loc 4518). Similarly, it
would seem that there are some gender equality rights interest
groups which would fall into this same category.
3- The possession of managerial skills, Peters, location 4832-
4882
Peters distinguishes managerial skills as more relevant to public
bureaucrats rather than politicians due to the need to manage
governmental departments (2010, Loc 4832). Although specific
skills are not identified, bureaucrats tend to require strong
managerial skills over their programs and organizations as they
are held accountable by politicians and the public at large. The
accountability of these bureaucrats is often difficult to measure
because most do not produce, but rather provide a service
(2010, Loc 4857).
Changes in assessing performance within the public sector have
unfortunately lead to some challenges. Responses to these
challenges have been “directed at producing better internal
management and enhanced capacity for control from the center”
(2010, Loc 4869). Finally, Peters notes that other challenges
exist due to public and private sector collaborations to provide
services (2010, Loc 4882). This seems to be a double-edged
sword situation though because as government organization face
reduced budgets, this public-private sector collaboration is one
of the primary ways to continue offering certain services.
Response
9. The argument presented in the discussion of the key idea with
that aim of elaborating the issues in the text. It is evident that
the topic might be confusing but still you were on track
developing three key ideas. The citation that was used is widely
represented in order to maintain the acknowledgement of the
source of the information. However, the class text has not been
widely sued in the development of the argument. Furthermore,
the flow of the ideas from one part of the key idea and between
the sentences depict an in-depth understanding of the public
policy.
Moreover, the order of the topics is instrumental in summing up
all the points with the evaluation of the managerial skills.
Management skill are considered important in the development
of the decision in the public sector. Also, the excellent use of
the examples makes the argument more elaborative and self-
explanatory especially for a layman. Generally, the presented
argument adds value to the understanding text learned in class
room scenario.
