Application: Influence on Public Policy

Newspapers frequently feature stories on how various democratic principles and processes contribute to democratic governance and impact a wide variety of issues, ranging from the distribution of flu vaccines to the appropriate legal venue for terrorist trials. Public policies that are formulated to address such issues come about as the result of the influence and application of various democratic principles and processes. In addition, competing interests and factions engage in the democratic process using tools such as lobbying or elections in an effort to leverage public policy. As you think about democratic principles and processes for this Assignment, take note of where you see their influence in recent public policy issues.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the article “War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of key democratic principles explained. Consider how the democratic principles in the article might influence public policy.
  • Review the articles “Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups’ Lobbying Tactics” and “The Study of Party Factions as Competitive Political Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Think about the democratic processes used by lobbying groups and political factions to influence public policy.
  • Select a public policy issue related to your specialization or to an area with which you are familiar.
  • Select three democratic principles and/or processes that you think might influence the formulation of public policy related to your issue.
  • Reflect on how these principles and processes of democracy influence the formulation of the public policy you selected.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Briefly describe the public policy issue you selected for this Assignment.
  • Using three democratic principles and/or processes of your choice, explain how you think these democratic principles and/or processes influence the formulation of public policy.
  • Based on your analysis, share at least one insight you gained about the influence of democratic principles and processes on the formulation of public policy. Or, if you live outside the United States, explain how these democratic principles might affect governance in your country.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.

/in /by

Assignment 2: Unhealthy Lunches Drive-In Don’s fast food restaurant sells the most delicious burgers in town at the most affordable price. Elementary and high schools in the vicinity have contracted with the restaurant to serve burgers during lunch hour. However, the county health department’s one-year study shows that children from these schools have the highest cholesterol, are the most obese, and are the least active. George and Mary’s son, Randall, 12, attends one of the schools where Drive-In Don’s foods are served. He suffers from extreme obesity and high cholesterol and runs the risk of diabetes. George and Mary have sued Drive-In Don’s and the school, alleging that Drive-In Don’s is engaging in illegal deceptive advertising of its foods and is not truthful to customers. Further, the lawsuit states that the restaurant purposely fails to provide consumers details of the ingredients of its food products. Research consumer protection laws and regulations, using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, write an analytical paper (approximately 4-5 pages). In the paper, respond to the following questions: Do George and Mary have a case? What are their strongest legal arguments? Explain. What defense(s), if any, do the school and the restaurant have? Explain. Can the government agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) help the plaintiffs in any way? Explain. Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

II. Discussion Questions/Posts: 10% total course grade – 5 total discussion forums

Students are required to submit discussion posts for each graded discussion forum.  There must be one original substantive post AND at least two substantive replies to your classmates’ posts for each graded forum.  The average of the five discussion forum grades will constitute 10% of your overall course grade. Correct grammar, capitalization, punctuation, complete sentences, and CITATION of your sources (textbook readings with page numbers and textbook citation; assigned video instruction; outside research sources but PLEASE do NOT use Wiki sources) must be included in your posts.  Please note that a post of just a few sentences is NOT sufficient. Failure to post before the time limit will result in a grade of zero for that forum. NO extensions will be given for Discussion Forums as ALL forums are open on August 24 and close on September 6 and 20; October 4 and October 14 (please review course blueprint for specific information). You can and should work ahead on discussion forums as you have approximately two weeks to complete each module’s discussion forums. Questions will regularly be posted on the discussion board.

 

The same criterion is used in grading your response posts to your classmates’ discussion posts, and the maximum combined total score for response posts is five points.  In other words, a student may earn up to ten (10) points per discussion forum when combining points for the original answer to the question and responses to other students’ posts. Responses must contribute something new to the discussion to earn points. Responses should also be more than a few sentences, you will need to spend some time writing and responding to your classmates. In other words, writing a response that consists solely of a sentence or two stating something like “Good post, (classmate’s name) or interesting ideas!” will receive zero points.

 Ethics Case Analysis

List your references. Your analysis should be at least 2 pages in length, in addition to a title and a reference page. APA formatting is required.

 

Scenario

Compassion and Ethics: Annie, a 27-year old woman with two children, began experiencing severe pain in her abdomen and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Brown, a gastroenterologist, who ordered a series of tests. While conducting a barium scan, a radiologist at Community Hospital noted a small bowel obstruction. Dr. Brown recommended surgery and Annie agree.

After surgery, the operating surgeon, paged Mark over the hospital intercom and Mark returned his call. “Well surgery is over and your wife is recovering nicely in the recovery room,” Dr. Brown said. Mark was relieved until the Dr. Brown continued, “I am sorry to say that she has carcinoma of the colon and the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and surrounding organs.” Before hanging up Mark told Dr. Brown, “Please do not tell Annie she has cancer I always want her to have hope.” Dr. Brown agreed, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell her. You can tell her that she had a narrowing of the colon.” Later in the hospital room, Annie asked Mark, “What did the doctor find?” Mark replied, “He found a narrowing colon.” “Am I going to be OK?” she said. Mark answered, “Yes, but it will take a while.”

Annie had one more surgery two months later in a futile attempt to extend her life. When Annie was admitted to the hospital for the last time, she was unaware that she was dying. One evening as Mark walked into her hospital room Annie said, “Could you please reschedule my appointment at the university? I will have to reschedule my appointment. I don’t think I will be well enough to go tomorrow.” Mark replied, “Okay, try to get some rest.” Annie closed her eyes, never to open them again?

 

Ethics Issue:

  1. Do you agree with Mark’s decision not to tell Annie about the seriousness of her illness?

  2. Should the physician have spoken to Annie as to the seriousness of her illness?

  3. Describe the ethical dilemmas in this case?

  4. Support your opinion with facts/sources.

Case Study 4: Bin Laden
Due Week 8 and worth 50 points 

In May 2011, President Obama held a press conference to inform the nation that Osama Bin Laden had been killed and his body seized by U.S. Armed forces. In some minds, this event provided justice for the attacks of 9/11; for others, the fear of threat increased. Review the post-event speeches by President Obama, located at http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/02/remarks-president-osama-bin-laden, and CIA Director Leon Panetta, located at https://www.cia.gov/news-information/press-releases-statements/press-release-2011/justice-done.html. 

Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Explain in your own words the message of each speech in terms of the future.
  2. Analyze each speech to consider whether it was one of victory or one of realized risk.
  3. Determine whether you think the killing of Bin Laden has lowered or raised the fear of terrorism in most U.S. citizens.
  4. Give two (2) examples illustrating how killing Bin Laden has affected al Qaeda.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Compare and contrast terrorism, terrorist groups, organized crime, and their financing activities and practices.
  • Analyze the role of intelligence and counterterrorism activities among federal agencies.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in homeland security.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 300 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.

Option 1:

The checks and balances of power between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of American Government (as written and presented in Articles I, II, and III of the U.S. Constitution) protect our freedoms by stopping any one of the branches from becoming too powerful or dominant. As one of our Founding Fathers and former President James Madison once said, “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.”

Visit the U.S. Constitution Web site for a summary of the checks for all branches of the U.S. government.

Research the Internet and choose a news story about American Government where one of the branches of government “checked” another branch. Discuss the following:

  • Include the source for the story at the top of the response, and make sure to cite it in APA style.
  • Summarize the story in 3–4 paragraphs.
  • Did some of the news stories regarding checks and balances by your classmates surprise or shock you?
  • Find another student’s post that surprised or shocked you or that you found interesting, and comment on his or her post.

Or

Option 2:

  • What are the main responsibilities of representatives and senators?
  • What are the main responsibilities of the president?
  • For the next questions, choose either a U.S. representative or one of your U.S. senators, and review his or her Web site to answer the following questions:
    • How long has he or she served in this position?
    • What party is he or she from?
    • What are a few of his or her accomplishments and goals?
  • Has the U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator that you chose to discuss worked with or against President Barack Obama on a particular issue during his presidency?
    • Explain your response in detail.
    • Provide examples of collaboration and support (or refusal of support) of the president from news stories or the representative’s Web site.
    • Be sure to cite the Web site in APA format both as in-text citations and on a reference list.

NEWS ARTICLE REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS

/in /by

You are required to submit brief essays which discuss current news articles that relate to public policy. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to evaluate current public policy issues and their treatment in the media. The news articles you select must illustrate a real-world application. Your essays must be critical reviews of the articles, meaning that you must provide your own analysis regarding the articles, rather than simply summarizing them.

 

News Article Selection Guidelines

The articles or news stories that you choose must be:

·       found in a newspaper, on a news program, or from another reputable media source (including reputable Internet sources);

·         published within the last month; and

·         clearly analyze how worldview affects the ends of public policy, or how worldview affects the means of public policy.

 

 

Essay Guidelines

Your essay must be ½-1 page, double-spaced. In the essay, you must summarize the article in order to demonstrate your comprehension of the content. Additionally, you must identify key elements discussed in the article and analyze them.

 

At the end of the essay, provide the complete citation for the article (including the publication date). If possible, you should include the actual article either by pasting it at the end of the document or by providing a link to the article. Format the essay and citation in current Turabian style.
