1. Each of you should identify and discuss an aspect of the readings in chapters 3 and 4 on Policy Development and Implementation. Discuss how it influences policy, extend your discussions to your own experiences with policy changes in your work setting, community, state, or national health policies. How have they worked – or not – and what you think was the reason for success or failure. What policy theory do you believe was used to change, make, or modify the policy?
2. Due to the recent Congressional battle to gain control of the Supreme Court, we need to discuss the three traditional core roles and functions of the judiciary in the United States. Please explain why you think the makeup of the Supreme Court guides a politicians vote in the confirmation of the Supreme Court nominee of the United States. (Refer back to Longest, chapter 4, and Appendix 11 to help you form your informed discussion).
