Describe the current government regulations or standards you researched. What kind of impact do these regulations or standards have on your issue and target population?
Identify obstacles that would prevent you from meeting the needs of your target population.
Consider future trends and changes to social policy that may be necessary in order for your issue to be resolved or for the target population to have its needs satisfied.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in APA format, with references, summarizing your research results.

CheckPoint: Differentiating Between Public and Private Organizations
Resources: Ch. 1 (pp. 12, 14, and 15) & 7 of Human Services in Contemporary America and Appendix G
Due Date: Day 3 [Individual forum]
Describe a social policy that may affect your future position as a human services worker.
Compare and contrast how a public versus a private organization might address this policy differently. Include an explanation of how the delivery system of a public organization would be different than that of a private organization. For example, what would be some differences between a state-funded child placement agency and a private adoption agency in regard to how they deliver their adoption services?
Consider how you could influence this policy to meet your clients’ needs. If you work for a government organization, you may not be able to lobby, but what other ways could you advocate for your client population?
Respond in 200 to 300 words.
Exercise: Critical Thinking
Part of the responsibility of working as a human service provider is being aware of both sides of the issue. Often times we allow our personal convictions to guide our delivery of human services. When presenting an argument for or against a specific policy (or listening to someone else present an argument) we need to be aware of persuasive techniques.
