Summary Of My First Swing At A Policy Brief

Democrats and Republicans highly differ when comparing views on climate change. The Democrats accept human role in climate change while many Republicans question if climate change is even real. In the 2016 Democratic Party Platform (27), they state “in the first 100 days of the next administration, the president will convene a summit of the words best engineers, climate scientists, policy experts, activists, and indigenous communities to chart a course to solve the climate crisis.” This is highlighted previously when President Obama, a Democrat, traveled to Paris for a convention about climate change where he met other leaders around the world to make a plan to help fix the issues surrounding climate change. This shows the basic principles of the Democratic Party as internationalist and having the large government—as it states in the

“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” - Barack Obama. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion for years now, because of the threat to our environment. The world will forever be changed if climate change isn’t taken into serious consideration and not in a good way. Climate change has had many negative effects, for example, damage to coral reefs, the increase of wildfires, and most importantly rising sea levels. Climate change is happening now and action should be taken now to stop it. The damage to our earth cannot always be undone as well as making some places disappear forever.

The election of 2000 took place during a time that was mostly peaceful, unemployment rates were historically low, but however, there were a record number of terrorist threats (Muhlhausen). Despite all of these headlining topics presidential candidate Al Gore and Vice President Joe Lieberman were far more concerned about global climate change (“Al”). Gore was, and still, is very passionate about this topic (“Al”, 9). He has challenged the two biggest polluters in the world, China and The United States to, “Make the boldest move in climate change.” Figure 5

Marijuana legalization has been a controversial topic requiring a public policy solution in the political realm. There have been various arguments made for and against the legalization of marijuana. There are several states that have legalized marijuana use for medicinal purposes while others have let their guards down completely allowing citizens to use it not only medicinally, but recreationally as well. While the use of marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, there is much discussion by other states regarding policies to support marijuana legalization and many policy makers proactively planning for the possibility

In the last two decades, there have been countless debates on the need to reform the United States of American health care system. The reform is to enable a more comprehensive system that will address pressing issues such as the growing number of uninsured American. The USA is one of the leading countries when in to healthcare and its systems. It is also the country with the most spending when it comes to healthcare. According to an article published in the commonwealth fund, the United States health care system is found to be the most expensive in the world, but it also shows the U.S. underperforms relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance (Davis, Stremikis, Squires, & Schoen, 2014).

Society relies on the criminal justice system to maintain order within communities and to maintain a safe environment for community members. Society expects the criminal justice system to provide justice by separating the guilty from the innocent, to incapacitate dangerous individuals, to promote deterrence to law-breaking individuals, and to rehabilitate offenders. An important expectation of the criminal justice system is to provide fair and just consequences to criminal offenders and assist the offenders with reintegrating into society. Some of the expectations of the criminal justice system are not met

Although there have been different interventions, policy programs and approaches to dementia, there still remain a significant amount of gaps in practices.

In 2006 Canada government identified the need to address the increasing among the elderly (senior) population within their government. Through the creation of the Office of the Minister of state within the Employment and social devilment Canada (ESDC) it mandates the many ministers, departments, and agencies involved in developing senior policies to cooperatively work together. These groups will work together updating and managing the Senior policy through bringing together the whole government in implementation of these policies (GOA, 2014). In the United States the government has identified similar concerns regarding their senior policies and financial funding of current programs. The US policy known as Health and Aging Policy through

Replica of Operation Ceasefire has been implemented in many states with variety of new addition or deletion of the core components. However, the success that both Boston and Chicago Ceasefire observed was due to specific and focused deterrence strategies. As author Braga mentioned (2012) one has to know how to differentiate between specific and general deterrence. Thus, a larger issue cannot be solved with specific strategies unless the specific strategies provide long-term impacts. Braga (2010 mentioned in his article Franklin Zimring 's (a deterrent scholar) quote on Boston Ceasefire. Zimring stated, "Ceasefire is more of a theory of treatment

During the period of 1900s to 1945s, there was various significant landmarks which focused on the social welfare of the people in the United Kingdom. The Uk government launched various welfare programmes through the social welfare provision, financial abet or social security which refers to a programme having the main objective is to provide a minimum level of the income to the people who don’t have financial support, employment and those who are elderly and disabled.

My interpretation of policy P5508.08 of the Federal Bureau of Prisons is that prison officials are not responsible for the safekeeping on inmate personal property. According to the policy, “Staff shall set aside space within each housing area for use by an inmate. The designated area shall include a locker or other securable area in which the inmate is to store authorized personal property. The inmate shall be allowed to purchase an approved locking device for personal property storage in regular living units (Inmate Personal Property)”. Furthermore, “by providing secured space, and adhering to guidelines on retention of property, the individual inmate has responsibility for securing personal property (Inmate Personal Property”. So the only

There are many issues that the government of Canada has to face and each new party that runs the government is introduced to new problems as well as the problems they have inherited from their predecessors. In this essay I will be directing your attention to the problem of climate control and how Canada can address the rising carbon emissions issue through carbon pricing. Canada has yet to implement major changes but through movements involving a national carbon price, energy saving transportations, and investments in the search for new reusable energy sources. Canada needs to turn move towards action to swiftly deal with the issue of carbon emissions.

Write your policy statement as one sentence that contains your claim. Then, list at least 8 pros and 8 cons of that policy statement.

The policy goals should validate both the external and internal issue drivers, which ultimately lead to the placing the policy on the political agenda (Althaus et al 2007a). Throughout the policy development it is crucial that appropriate goals are being set, and that these goals are sustained by an evidence based research (Cheung et al 2010). All through the policy analysis, it is important to maintain a complete understanding of the relevant health issues and how they affect the concerned population groups.
