Week 4 Discussion: Continue Your Discussion Benefits of Policy Change
This week, discuss how your target population would benefit from changes to a social policy.
Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose one to respond to for the discussion this week.
- What changes to this social policy would you like to see? In what ways would that improve the lives of your oppressed population?
- Share how you anticipate the life of a specific person or family would be improved as a result of the changed social policy. What might the ripple effect be of this improvement?
- Explain how your culture, background, and/or experience shapes your thinking about the benefits of social policy change. Offer some specific examples.
- Explain which of this week’s concepts, resources, or activities is of most interest to you and your professional development. Offer some specific examples.
Please note:
- 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.
