Putting Theory to Work

This week, instead of discussing the readings, you’ll discuss your final paper. Share parts of your final paper with the class.

Briefly discuss your problem.
Briefly explain the theory you used. Give us a quick overview of the theory and then tell us how that theory explains your problem.
What are you recommending? Should we keep an existing policy, update or revise the policy, end a policy, or introduce a new policy entirely?
In your discussion (for this post, not in the final paper), let us know why your theory is such a good fit to explain and solve the problem you identified. In what ways is your theory limited to explain your problem? Talk about how difficult or easy it is to create a policy based on that theory. Remember that this is a theory class. Your final paper needs to be strong on theory, so use this time to work out any lingering confusion you have with your theory.
