Ensuring the safety of amusement park rides illustrates the purpose and nature of public policy. Discuss the purpose of policy making, reasons that government gets involved in the solution of public problems, and the factors that make policy making so complex.
What will be an ideal response?
Purpose is to promote the public good; government gets involved for political, moral, or economic reasons, and it gets complex because of issues of federalism and the way our government works, politics, how the various contexts can affect policy making, and ultimately the role of government in a free market or capitalist society.
