If applicable how is the program funded? If you are examining a policy or law, does this policy or law require any type of programmatic funding?  Does the policy or law call for some type of action that requires the funding of an agency or program? 

For example, does this policy or law require the funding of a certain types of programs?

What was the budget associated with this program for the last fiscal year?

An analysis of the social welfare perspective from which you think the program, law, or policy was designed.  This could be residual, institutional, feminist, or others that are mentioned in the Day text book.  You will need to describe why and how the program reflects any particular social welfare perspective.  In addition, you will need to explain how this perspective may have an influence on the outcomes associated with the program. For example, does the perspective influence who ideally has access to the program, how they are treated, or what they may receive?
 

An analysis of the values that are reflected in the policy, program, or law.  Using the values presented in Day, describe how this program, policy or law is associated with particular values.  What are the ideas or beliefs this program promotes? 

An analysis of how age, race, class and gender issues are reflected in the program, policy, law.  Do certain groups disproportionately benefit from the program?  Are there certain groups that are more likely to be excluded from the program?  Why is this the case?  How does the program affect the well being of particular groups? 

An analysis of how the program, policy or law addresses social inequality or is associated with issues of social inequality.  Does the program policy or law reduce inequality in some way? Does the program policy or law unfairly exclude or disadvantage certain populations? 

An overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the program, policy, or law.
