Week 9 Assignment – Activity: A Policy You Would Change

Introduction

If you could change any U.S. domestic policy today, what would it be? For this activity, choose a policy you would like to change, submit a one-paragraph explanation of the policy you would like to change, and identify three references to support this policy change. This is the same policy you will use to write your Final Reflection (due next week).

Instructions

Step 1: Choose a domestic public policy:

• Energy
• The environment
• Health care
• Social welfare
• Civil rights
• Death penalty
• Gun control
• Taxation
• Assisted suicide
• Affirmative action
• Minimum wage
• Drug legalization
• Immigration
• Hate crimes
• Capital punishment

Note: Approval for your policy is required and will be provided in the grading rubric. If your policy and/or references are not approved you will need to read the instructor feedback and provide an updated policy and/or references to be approved before submitting your final assignment.

Step 2: Identify three references to support the policy change.

• Use reputable sources that support your views, illustrate the severity or urgency of the need for change, discuss current events that make you think about the seriousness of the issue, etc. Remember to review the news sources provided earlier in the course and ensure any references selected outside of that list are reliable.

Step 3: Submit a Word document with your policy choice and one paragraph explaining why that is a policy you’d like to change and citations for your three references.
