Week 2 Discussion: Continue Your DiscussionPolicy Implementation and Impacts
This week, discuss some ways the policy you selected is implemented and how it impacts individuals or families.
Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose one to respond to for the discussion this week.
- In what ways was a particular individual or family impacted negatively by a social policy? Were there any ways in which the individual or family was helped by this social policy?
- What agencies/organizations are responsible for implementing the social policy? How much discretion do they have when implementing the social policy? Are the concerns you have about the social policy inherent in the policy or in its implementation?
- Explain how your culture, background, and/or experience shapes your thinking about policy implementation and impacts. Offer some specific examples.
- Explain what about this week’s concepts, resources, or activities is of most interest to you and your professional development. Offer some specific examples.
- Remember to practice the use of APA style for citations and references throughout the discussion activities in this course. All information not derived from your own knowledge or experience should include an in-text citation and a reference at the end of the post to show the reader where it came from.
- Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
