 In a 1-2 page policy memo, drawing on the readings and lecture, address issues

 In a 1-2 page policy memo, drawing on the readings and lecture, address issues of policy definition based on the case study: “Starbucks: Opposing a Local Tax to Address Homelessness while Promoting Social Justice.”  Be sure to address the following questions but remember this is a policy memo, so do not list the questions followed by an answer. What problem was to be addressed by the city council action?  How was this defined and what was proposed?  What actions did the city council vote/action spark?  Why and what was the basis for the response?  Was it expected? What other relevant points should be included related to this problem, the action taken, and the two subsequent actions that followed.  
You should consider that you are on the staff of one of the city council members that has asked for a memo on these events to help better understand what could have been done better.
 In a 1-2 page policy memo, drawing on the readings and lecture, as a member of a congressional staff, you have been asked to address issues of policy definition based on the case study: “Facebook Faces the Regulators.”  What is the public problem or public problems at issue here?  How should/could these issues be defined?  How would the political environment be characterized and how does it impact the myriad public problems associated with this case.  Provided any other necessary context that would provide a detailed understanding of the case.

Create a case study to discuss the listed topics linking them to the information and/or themes presented in the podcasts.   In your case study, be sure to describe the public problems being discussed in each of the podcasts and the video, how the problems are defined (infer if necessary) in the podcasts/video, and how the data/evidence might differ from opinion (think widely-held beliefs) not just among the public but your own biases as well. Lastly, illustrate the connections (cause and effect or the flow based on the data from problem to solution) of the four defined public problems.  Include other plausible interpretations. Your case study should be single-spaced, well-written, including an introduction and a conclusion, and integrate at least 3-4 references from your MPA coursework.  Remember to cite all sources properly and include an APA-formatted list of references.

 Write an introduction on the SLo4, the 3 different paragraphs write about Democracy, Diversity, and Due process on how public administrators should operate in a public organization. T
Define the 3 in each paragraph, and what you think it means, next think of 2 topics for each.

Example: How to use resources that organizations offer to meet goals. Define what this means in your own words. Then Pick 2 topics that are resources such as Technology and Money.

The MPA Program Values: democracy , diversity, and due process.
Democracy:
a. Inclusive, Effective, and Constructive Participation: Public administrators should strive to make public programs open and responsive to all stakeholders by promoting meaningful participation in the political process by which we identify the public interest and in the development and implementation of public policies and programs to promote the public interest. We should reduce disparities in that participation produced by educational, economic, and other political inequalities.
b. Enlightened Understanding: Public administrators should promote stakeholders’ understanding of political processes, public policies, and public programs by providing transparent, clear, accurate, and relevant information. 
Diversity:
Projections by the U.S. Census suggest that the United States population is creating a more diverse country not only in terms of race and ethnicity but also by age, religious beliefs, and gender, all of which provide unique challenges to public administrators. Being dedicated to this goal obligates public administrators to respect the humanity of all people. Valuing diversity allows our students to take positions that take diversity into account to more effectively lead and administer public programs.
Due Process:
Our program defines due process to include all processes (including those beyond the justice and law enforcement systems) that provide important checks (procedural and substantive) on the authority of elected officials and of unelected public administrators.
Remember to cite all sources properly and include an APA formatted list of references.
