Civic Engagement Assignment

Policy and Solutions

For this final civic engagement assignment, you will need to design a policy to address your problem from assignment #1.

POLICY PROPOSAL

For this part of the assignment you will be making a policy proposal. A policy proposal is where you identify a problem that you believe needs to be fixed (which you have done in the first assignment) and then laying out your ideas for what needs to be done to fix the problem.

You will need to come up with AT LEAST four different steps or actions that you believe should be taken to address your problem. Furthermore, after each action you will need to provide a justification for why you think that action would be effective.

Additionally, you will need to identify a person within our government that you would want to talk with about this problem AND think of some interest groups/non-profits that you might want to ally with to address this problem. You will need to follow the template that is attached.

You should consider doing some research for this paper. You should include some research  to support your reasons for why you think certain solutions would help your problem (including citations will definitely help your grade on this assignment).

Those of you that purchased the recommended textbook America, The Owner's Manual you should use the book as it does have some good suggestions (the book is not required to do the assignment). You should do some research to identify the person and groups you would want to talk to/work with.

Please see me if you are confused or would like to discuss this assignment in more detail. This should be typed out (12 point Times New Roman font, 1 inch margins) and printed out. The due date is listed on Moodle. You must include a bibliography page for any sources you
used. You must use in-text citations for your sources.

Lastly, please put your name, class date, class time, etc. on a separate title page and not on the first page of the actual text. Your paper should start at the top of the page after the title page.
