Explain how these points or issues integrate with the material covered this week and then explain their relevance to the case. Identify the implications for the parties involved in the case. Provide a brief description of the questions/challenges you have regarding the readings and explain why they are important. Do not include the following in your analysis: A summary of the readings A detailed description of the case Any editorials As you are preparing your response, consider the following questions: What were the roots of the conflict?

Your assignment must follow these content and formatting requirements: Integrate policy concepts to demonstrate your analytical insights from the readings and your own research with evidence to support remarks about policy issues and problems. Demonstrate a full understanding of the public policy concepts and show that your application is relevant and aligns with the learning outcomes. Develop your brief in a cohesive manner, with a logical flow of public policy information from one topic to the next; ensure evidence from resources supports your ideas and topics. Ensure your writing demonstrates an understanding of the relationship among materials regarding public policy obtained from all sources. Develop a brief that shows focus on the topic, and create a thoughtful presentation using the thesis statement to provide the focus of the paper with enough scope for an in-depth discussion of the public policy concepts and application. Ensure the thesis statement indicates the position taken by the author in the paper, and there is strong evidence to support the public policy position. Developed a brief that shows expert use of the examples for public policy writing. Appropriately incorporate at least two quality sources. A quality source can be either grey literature, such as a news article, or scholarly, such as peer-reviewed/professional industry references.
