Assignment Description
Based on your analysis of the social justice problem in the assignment from Unit 2, select a currently enacted federal policy that is currently a law to analyze using the United States Congress website, Congress.gov. It must also address the problem that affects your chosen diverse cultural group (for example, based on race, religion, disabilities, gender orientation, socioeconomic status, or access to services). This will be the policy you analyze for the entire the course project. Be sure to incorporate constructs that have been covered in this course into your analysis.
Assignment Instructions
To complete this assignment, select a federal policy from Congress.gov that targets the form of oppression and discrimination you described in Unit 2 (for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Veterans Millennium Healthcare Act, Affordable Care Act (ACA), Adoption and Safe Families Act, Medicare, Medicaid, Temporary Aid to Needy Families Act, or Social Security Act). Then, complete the following:
Describe the policy you have chosen and its connection to the social justice problem that was the focus of the previous assignment. This policy must be enacted—in other words, it must be passed legislation.
Describe the purpose of this policy. Describe the programs and services that are provided through the policy. Connect the policy to the social justice problem you selected by giving a brief description of the problem. Is it a new problem, something that has recently arisen, or an old problem that never got resolved? Describe the historical issues and context that lead to the creation of the social problem and policy development. Include information about the voting outcomes for the policy and the legislative leaders who influenced the policy historically and in the present. Include the impact of these historical features have had on the policy's implementation.
I would also like to have a copy so I can revise the research paper if I wish too. I have attached a copy of an example of how the research paper should be formatted. I have also attached a copy of the policy selection and background scoring guide that my instructor uses to grade the research paper. (See Attachments).
Thank you for all of your help in regards to this matter.
