Begin by thinking about the role of public policy in society. Public policy is generally developed in response to a public issue or problem. Should public policy be used to drive social change issues, or should social change drive public policy?

As you ponder this debate, consider the link between public policy and social change in democratic governance.     your thoughts about using public policy as an instrument of social change.
