Research Question

The most important question which is needed to research is how public policies are proposed frequently. However, not all of the policies are carefully proposed and implemented. In this regard, this research aims to explore the myths and facts about public policy and its implementation. Is this field of investigation voluminous research already exists which can help to find the desired questions. Therefore, this research targets to expose the policy issues which are faced in the implementation of policies and how such policies are influenced by our societies.

Note

In reference to the research question, a list of reliable sources is added in this report which can help to support the research questions along with the shreds of evidence. There are some sources added in the list which verify that public policies are proposed to a greater extent, but policies get affected due to multiple myths and facts concerned to them. Thereby, related literature reveals that by comparing and contrasting the myths and facts the future policies can be proposed and implemented effectively.
