Public Policy Tools and Practice

In this week’s Discussion, you analyzed leadership as a tool for implementing public policy. For this Assignment, you are asked to review a case study that presents a general challenge to implementing public policy. As a student of public policy, you should weigh which tools and practices may be most useful in addressing challenges related to the implementation of public policy. Before you begin the Assignment, think about which tools of democracy you might use as a policy maker in the implementation of public policy in general.

Policy makers may use a variety of means to help them implement public policy. Regulations, tax incentives, grants, and public-private partnerships are a few examples of tools and practices of democratic governance. Ideally, the tools selected for policy implementation are well suited for the task, but this is not always the case. Unfortunately, many public endeavors fail not because of bad policy but because of poor choice and implementation of tools and practices. The success or failure of public policy may depend greatly on the tools selected for implementation. Tools and practices that may be well suited for implementation in one policy area may lead to failure in another. Therefore, it is important that tools and practices are wisely chosen and appropriate for the policy area at hand.

To prepare for this Assignment:Review the “Case Study: The Winds of Change” document (located in this week’s Learning Resources) and think about the challenges encountered in the scenario.Select the tools and/or practices that you think might be effective in implementing the policy change presented in the case study.Consider the strengths and limitations of the tools and practices you selected.Reflect on whether tools and practices of democracy are effective in implementing public policy.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):Briefly describe each of the tools and/or practices you selected for the Assignment.Explain why you think each might be effective in implementing the policy change presented in the case study.Evaluate the tools and/or practices you selected in terms of their strengths and limitations.Based on your evaluation, draw at least one conclusion about the effectiveness of tools and/or practices of democracy in implementing public policy.

Required Text
Mandell, B.R. & Schram, B.  (2012).  An introduction to human services: Policy and practice (8th ed.).  Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson.  ISBN: 9780205838851

 

Discussion 1

 

at least 250 words–please refer to textbook

 

Because human services work often involves direct client interaction, there are times when the values of the worker differ from those of their clients. In these circumstances, ethical dilemmas tend to arise. Review the case examples and current ethical conflicts presented in Chapter 5 of your textbook. Choose (1) case study and (1) ethical conflict to discuss, and present the dilemmas involved in each case. As a human services professional, how would you handle these situations? How would you balance your values as a professional with a client’s needs?

 

 

Discussion 2

 

at least 250 words–see attachment for table

To work in the field of human services, individuals must possess a unique blend of personal and professional values, skills, and knowledge. Using Table 4.1 as a reference, provide an overview of the structure and content of the helping relationship. Discuss the characteristics of an effective human service worker in relation to the A.S.K. pyramid, describe how each of these levels of the pyramid are of equal importance in human services, and explain how this differs from other fields.  How would clients be disadvantaged, for example, by an unsympathetic, inflexible, unskilled worker?

Theater assignment 3

Unit 5 – Journal Assignment 3: Shakespeare Films This journal assignment is a quick analysis of William Shakespeare, his plays and their impact on Hollywood.  The object is to better understand and appreciate similarities and differences between Shakespearean theatre  and film as an art, and to gain insights into various aspects of society, as reflected in the film versions. select one (and only one) of the following plays by William Shakespeare, which have also been made into a film –  Hamlet (vs. 1994 film The Lion King),The Taming of the Shrew (vs. 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You), Romeo and Juliet  (vs. 1996 film William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet), orMacbeth (vs. 2001 film Scotland, PA) then determine the various ways the film version departs from and/or adheres to the original play lastly, offer your personal reflection if the film is more (or less) effective than the play

Factors to consider when preparing this brief analysis could include (but should not be limited by) the existence of critical issues in society at the time the film was made; while the plays are considered excellent examples of dramatic literature, the film versions (as art) are subjective; Shakespeare’s storytelling to atheatre  audience vs Hollywood’s message to a larger mass audience.

Create your response, in the Assignment submission box below (not in the Comments field), as a journal or diary entry.  The Journal Assignment should be at least one page long, approximately 350-400 words minimum.  Be careful of spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation – proofread and edit your work as necessary.  Think originality and creativity – images, graphics, video links, etc. are always encouraged to help tell describe your comparison ( please cite your sources).  This assignment will be graded according to the Journal Assignment Rubric (attached).
