Perspectives in Policy Making

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are part of a committee tasked with writing a white paper on an important community issue, such as affordable housing. Choose a specific stakeholder perspective to adopt (for example, a local resident, a city planner, a housing developer, or a social activist). Write a 500-word section of the white paper from that perspective, articulating the stakeholder’s concerns, priorities, and overarching goals. Ensure to include potential policy solutions they may advocate for and how these align with or oppose other stakeholders’ views. After writing, reflect on how adopting different perspectives can shape policy discussions.
