News Article Review Instructions

You are required to submit brief essays which discuss current news articles that relate to public policy. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to evaluate current public policy issues and their treatment in the media in light of the concepts covered in the readings and discussions occurring in the course. The news articles you select must illustrate a real-world application, or, where appropriate, a lack of application, of one or more of the concepts covered in the readings of the same module/week. Your essays must be critical reviews of the articles, meaning that you must provide your own analysis regarding the articles, rather than simply summarizing them.

Review the News Article Review Grading Rubric to improve the quality of your essays and be sure to adhere to all of the specific guidelines described below.

News Article Selection Guidelines

The articles or news stories that you choose must be:

found in a newspaper, on a news program, or from another reputable media source (including reputable Internet sources);
published within the last month; and
clearly illustrative of the application, or failure to apply, one or more of the concepts covered in the course during the module/week of the assignment.

Each article review must cover different topics. Refrain from using follow-up pieces or multiple perspectives of the same topic. For example, if you find an article discussing a new government regulation in The New York Times, you cannot use a follow-up piece put out a few days later in the same newspaper or a different article in a different newspaper discussing the same topic.

Essay Guidelines

Your essay must be ½-1 page, double-spaced. In the essay, you must summarize the article in order to demonstrate your comprehension of the content. Additionally, you must identify key elements discussed in the article and relate those elements back to concepts discussed in the course. Discuss whether the situation described in the article implements any of the concepts discussed in the course or if there are possible ways that concepts from the course could be implemented.

At the end of the essay, provide the complete citation for the article (including the publication date). If possible, you should include the actual article either by pasting it at the end of the document or by providing a link to the article. Format the essay and citation in current Turabian style.

Research Paper 2 Instructions

In conjunction with Module/Week 8 of this course, you will be required to draft 1 medium-length research paper. The paper must be 7–10 pages (not including the title page and bibliography), in current Turabian format, with default margins and in 12-pt. Times New Roman font. Each paper must include citations to adequate sources supporting and/or illustrating your positions. A minimum of 5 sources are required. Each paper must include a title page and bibliography in current Turabian format.

This paper is an exercise in the application of the material covered in the course to a real world public policy. One of the most debated public policy issues currently facing the nation is that of the “Individual Mandate” provision of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). For this paper, analyze the “individual mandate” issue in light of the concepts covered in this course.

Your Research Paper must include, but not be limited to, discussions of:

the worldview bases for the “individual mandate,”
the worldview bases for the various oppositions to the “individual mandate,”
the conflicting views of the role and limits of government, with respect to the “individual mandate,” and
the ideas and worldviews that shaped those conflicting views.

As with many public policies that affect fundamental issues, the “individual mandate” issue impacts more than the surface question of the best way to provide health services. Better papers will demonstrate an understanding of the broader real-world implications as well as the secondary and tertiary public policy goals/consequences of the “individual mandate” and the ideas/worldviews supporting and opposing it.
