I developed my interest in public policy because of my curiosity for political and social issues that led me to wanting to be involved in policy making. I became enthusiastic for politics and the shaping of our world and its societies during my undergraduate studies and after having reflected theoretically, I would like to be able to take part in what makes our world what it is. I am interested in the issues of the folding of different levels of government as well as in the policies of the European Union and of international affairs to which I have been introduced during my undergraduate program. During my undergraduate program, I also built up my interest in issues of environment, science and health because of various introductory classes that I took.

I am also interested in technology, food systems, security and energy policies. That is why the broad character of the program offered by the Academy of Governance caught my attention.

A policy argument is the major vehicle for communication policy-relevant information and an important source of knowledge in reference to how policies are made and put into effect. The ability to organize, structure, and evaluate a policy argument is crucial to critical analytical thinking. (Dunn, 2012) The purpose of the two policy argument maps is to compare and contrast different modes of reasoning framing policy problems, which arise at all stages of the policy delivery process.

Prior to taking POLS 1101, I had already obtained much knowledge about America under British rule, and the struggle that led us to become the independent country we are today. What I did not know is our current government structure and the processes and systems of our government. I also learned more about the Electoral College, the United States Supreme Court, the Nuclear Deal, and Britain’s “question time.” I enjoyed participating in these discussions, because each post required research, exploration, and consideration before meaningful dialogue; it requires students to analyze textbooks, the media, and much more, leading to one gaining a well rounded knowledge on a subject. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to read what my peers had to say on the exact same question, comparing and contrasting our answers and opinions.

He analyses a bottom-up approach to policy making in this book but fails to state if it is adequate. Up until this book was published, the majority of people looked at policy making from a top-down perspective. Since the 1980’s there has been increased debate over which approach is more effective (Gabel, 2012). Top-down implementation occurs when the government set policies and instructions on how to implement these policies.
