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 assignment (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.
One tip for finding a reputable sources is to visit the Strayer University Online Library. You can also go directly to Strayer University's Political Science Library page.
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.
Clarification: You do not need to get approval to write your Week 9 Activity. Go ahead and choose your public policy now. After I grade it, your grade will reflect my approval. You can check your grade book feedback bubble for the Week 9 Activity. The topic approval is actually for your next assignment . You can then go ahead and start working on your Week 10 Final Reflection paper using your same chosen topic.
Activity: A Policy You Would Change
Policy Choice: Environmental Policy
Global Warming is changing our climate in the US. The earth is warming from the North Pole to the South Pole at an alarming rate (Ballotpedia, 1). The average temperature globally has increased by more than 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit, especially in the polar regions. Global Warming not only effects the earth's temperature; it also affects extreme weather patterns and the wildlife population and habits here in the US. Humans are contributing to why the climate is changing by emitting carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (Denchak, 2).
I want to change the environmental policies in the United States to do more to reduce climate change.
