Program vs. Policy
Assignment: Program vs. Policy
Although policy often affects the delivery of services, you are more likely to engage directly with a program created under the umbrella of a policy. And different states likely implement a given policy differently via unique programs. The ability to distinguish a program from a policy is an important feature of social work practice. In this Assignment, you differentiate between a program and policy through a case study. You also identify a state or local policy in your own state that might change the way services are delivered in the case study.
To Prepare
Review the case study found in the Learning Resources.
Locate state-specific information from your state that is related to the policies and programs featured in the case study.
By Day 7
In 2–3 pages, address the following: ANSWERS QUESTION
Identify the programs the social worker in the case study engaged with.
Identify the policies that drove the programs and indicate which were federal and which were state or local.
Explain how these policies affected the social worker’s delivery of services.
Imagine that this scenario took place at an agency in your state. Research and identify one state or local policy in your area that would affect your delivery of services. Explain how this state or local policy affects the program.
Use the guide in the Learning Resources to help you find details about state or local policy variation.

The criteria and content with these headings will include:
Overview of the piece(s) of popular culture (100 words, 10 points).
Bolded, at the end of the overview, a stance statement in which you will exhibit your points in a singular statement (10 points). The elements for a successful stance statement are in the analysis paper format below:

°Introduce the pop culture
artifact(s)
°State the thesis statement, bolded and your thesis statement should have the following:
a) identify the texts/productions
b) identify them as performing a
function in an active voice (therefore use of a verb) in relation or contrast

themes
3) Conclusion (150+ words)
°Where you prove the second clause

Example Thesis: This is Us suggests a hierarchy of rapid career and success as related to physical attraction, recycling old themes of capitalistic access given primarily to physical beauty.
Analysis (800 words)
Example if using God/Devil Terms theory: each element below would have its own headings, and each analysis section would be 200ish+ words.
This is an example of how you should answer the following referring to the thesis above:
ranscendence: Beauty is the pathway to financial success
Transcendence: Beauty is the way to personal success
Devil Terms: Lack of beauty means struggling financially
Devil Terms: Lack of beauty means struggling for personal success
Implications (150 words, 10 points)
Answer the “so what?” question. Why this study matters.
For example, an elaboration on beauty as a capitalistic manifestation, particularly in the growing unhealthy expectations in the modeling industry as the female body is becoming thinner and thinner.
Please don’t lose focus on what your thesis would be. The thesis should set a strong foundation so you can tie your paper all throughout.
Avoid repeating words and please use transition words or phrases to keep the flow of the paper.
