Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing question and need guidance to help me learn.
What Aging Policy Problem Matters Most to Me and Why
Prepare
a written essay of not more than 750 words on an aging policy or
problem that matters most to you and why. The policy/problem can be
local, state, national or international. Your interest can be personal,
ethical, social, economic, religious, but it should move beyond what
you’ve studied in other classes and include a connection to public
policy.
Your discussion must include the following:
1) What is the aging policy problem that matters most to you?
2) Why do you care about this issue?
3) Why should policy makers care about this issue?
Some illustrative examples are provided in Chapter 7 of your textbook.
Additional
potentially relevant policy problems include i) the epidemic of
loneliness among older adults, ii) evacuation of older adults during
wildfires in California and iii) the cost and quality of long-term care
in the US.
Please note that this is a personal reflection paper.
It should reflect you and your voice and be written by you and only you.
You do not need to offer a solution to this problem; and you do no need
to provide appropriate citations, however, your paper must be factually
accurate. For example, if you focus on loneliness and write that the
vast majority of older adults are lonely, you will lose points as this
is not a true statement. You should explain why the policy/problem is
important and why others (e.g. policymakers) should pay attention to it.
