FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED INDomestic Policy

Determine/identify an entire region in TX [e.g. Panhandle, Southern border, Gulfcoast, etc.], or a city you want to focus your attention on. Determine/identify which approach is most effective to accomplish desired objective (environmental, social or economic policy), and explain: 1) your goal(s) [Agenda Setting]; 2) who would promote your policy proposal [Adoption]; 3) who would benefit; and 4) who would absorb accrued expenses?

Identification of the preferred application of resources (e.g. redistributive, distributive or regulatory) is also expected. The five steps below should be considered as the categories in which your policy proposal should be constructed.

FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN Foreign Policy

Again, after reviewing the UN Sustainable Development Goals draft policy that would potentially resolve your concern(s) as it/they exists in another country or region around the world [e.g. of regions: Central America, Caribbean, South America, Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Islands, Antarctica, or the Artic]. Once this concern(s) has been identified, mention the role TX government will play in resolving the situation.

Determine which approach is most effective to accomplish desired impact (environmental, social or economic policy), and identify: 1) your goal [Agenda Setting]; 2) who would promote your policy proposal [Adoption]; 3) who would benefit; and 4) who would absorb accrued expenses?

Identification of the preferred method to apply resources (e.g. crisis, strategic, or structural defense) is also expected. The five steps below should be considered as the categories in which your policy proposal should be constructed.
