Public policies that you probably know about include the minimal age for drinking, voting, and driving in your state. But I think you'd have a hard time finding four players that oppose these existing policies.

However, you may want to research such public policies as health care, illegality of marijuana, teaching of sex education or creationism in public schools, or No Child Left Behind.

thanks a lot. decided to go with the smoking ban policy.

That's a good one; I'm surprised I didn't think of it. <g>

Of course! I can help you with that.

First, let's start with defining what a public policy is. Public policy refers to the decisions, actions, and plans undertaken by governments, organizations, or individuals to address societal problems or needs. Public policies can cover a wide range of issues such as education, healthcare, criminal justice, environmental protection, and more.

To find out about public policies, you have a few options:

1. Government Websites: Government websites, particularly those of legislative bodies or government agencies, often provide information about current and past public policies. You can start by visiting the website of your local, state, or national government to explore the policies relevant to your area.

2. News Sources: News outlets like newspapers, magazines, or online news websites cover public policies extensively. They provide information, analysis, and discussions on various policy issues. Look for reputable sources that have a focus on politics or policy, such as major news networks or specialized policy publications.

3. Think Tanks and Research Organizations: Think tanks and research organizations are independent institutions that conduct research and analysis on various public policy issues. They often publish reports, policy briefs, and recommendations. Examples include the Brookings Institution, Pew Research Center, and RAND Corporation.

As for suggesting a public policy that an 18-year-old might know about, one current example is climate change policy. It is a hot topic globally, and many young people are actively engaged in advocating for climate action. You can find information about climate change policies, such as government initiatives, international agreements like the Paris Agreement, or proposed regulations, by exploring the sources mentioned above.

Now, let's move on to your questions:

A. When selecting a public policy issue you're familiar with, consider the impact of climate change policies on social conditions. Describe the responsible parties, such as governments or international organizations, and how climate change policies affect areas such as environmental justice, public health, and the economy.

B. List four players who support the climate change policies, such as environmental organizations, renewable energy companies, advocacy groups, or governments that have taken significant steps towards reducing carbon emissions.

C. List four players who oppose climate change policies, which may include industries reliant on fossil fuels, political groups skeptical of climate change science, individuals who fear economic impacts, or governments resistant to implementing regulations to address climate change.

Remember to utilize the sources mentioned earlier to gather information and facts that support your responses.
