Come up with a policy position that you would like to take. This might be a policy that you want your school or community to adopt. It might also be a policy for your personal life, or one that you want your family to adopt. What matters are the steps.
Guidelines:
Review the steps in the policymaking process.
Come up with a policy position that you would like to take.
Explain your policy problem and the policy approach that you propose to fix your problem.
Evaluate a classmate's policy problem and suggest an alternate policy solution that might also solve their problem. If you are in the class by yourself, your teacher will propose a policy solution that you can critique.
Answer:
A policy I would like my community to adopt is going green, obviously, you can't force every single person to not use any plastic because this is virtually impossible but what I can do is stop the usage of plastic bags. Plastic bags and plastic in general, is very bad and harmful for our planet. The usage of plastic contributes to the drastic climate change we are facing today. And with keeping in mind we cant stop the manufacturing of plastic objects across the world let alone the nation because it can harm the economy very much and create a shortage in supplies that don't yet have an alternate to plastic, but we do have re-usable bags which are very common and easy to make. I suggest in every grocery store exchange plastic bags with reusable ones. But I do acknowledge the fact these cost money and although they are only a few cents it can put a small business at a loss. My solution to this is to have the bags cost less than $1 and give customers a discount for buying it and bringing it back. this way people are more motivated to buy one, although re-usable bags are a little thing, remember little things can go a long way.
Answer:
Consider two businesses, Company A and Company B:
Company A buys a tract of forest and meadow next to a wildlife protection area, cuts down all the trees, and covers most of the land with parking lots. It builds - with tax breaks given by the community to encourage it to settle there - a large factory that belches smoke into the sky and flushes chemicals into the river that flows through the protected land next door.
Many local people apply for the high-paying jobs the factory offers, but few are hired; Company A has brought most of its former workforce with it, driving up local housing prices and flooding the schools with new students. Suddenly taxes and prices rise, and new houses are going up on much of the open land that has made the community a pleasant place to live.
As if that weren't enough, the company refuses to join the local United Way, explaining that its parent company contributes to charity through its own foundation. When local organizations inquire about funding from the foundation, Company A representatives tell them that it only gives money to large, established charities.
Company B buys a similar, but larger, tract of land...and immediately sets aside half of it as a conservation area, which it invites the community to use. Rather than building a new plant, it has decided that the old factory on the edge of its new land is just what it needs, and hires local contractors to make over the building. At the company's direction, they install solar panels, double-paned windows that will reduce lighting costs and provide solar heat in winter, low-flow faucets, a water-recirculation system, and other "green" features. The plant, when it is finished, will be highly energy-efficient, and will, according to the company, put nothing into the environment that's harmful to people, wildlife, plants, or water quality.
Company B announces that it plans to hire at least 75% of its workforce from the local community, and to set up a training facility so that local people can learn the skills they need to work at the plant. It will also feature an on-site day care center for employees, as well as a generous medical and dental plan. Its executives volunteer for various organizations and boards. It funds half the cost of the construction of a new science center at the high school. It joins United Way and becomes active in its fundraising. And it explains that all of this is the policy of Company B's parent corporation, which believes in giving back to communities where it earns its money.
Which business's policies are more community-friendly? These examples are both extremes, of course. There are companies as callous as Company A, but not a huge number, and there are probably even fewer as community-spirited as Company B and its parent corporation. The contrast, however, serves to illustrate the difference between community-friendly and non-community-friendly business policies.
This section is about the social, health, economic, and environmental policies that business and government can adopt to improve community life, foster community development, and create healthy communities...and how community builders can persuade them to do so.

Many of the immigrants who came to North Carolina during the gold rush were single men—young or middle-aged, ambitious, and hardworking. Unaccompanied by women or children, they were able to move freely from one mining area to another. When gold was found in other southern states and then in California in 1848, many moved out of the area. The Cornish miners, however, had often moved with their families. They were known to be “skilled, superstitious, clannish,” and strongly Methodist. Unlike the single prospectors who followed the gold to California, the Yukon, and beyond, many of these Cornish miners and their families stayed in North Carolina, in the lode mining centers of Charlotte and especially Gold Hill in Rowan County.
