1) Identify a social welfare policy (city, state, or federal) that is currently being debated (i.e. something that is in
the news now) and briefly describe your own views about the policy. Discuss how it fits as a social welfare
policy based on P/L’s definitions using material from the readings (particularly chapters 2 and 3) and why the
policy is important to you, what issues are privileged and so on.
2) Using the social welfare policy you discussed in the question 2, analyze how two of the social values from
pp. 83-88 are either supported or discounted by this policy.
