Now, let us get into today's video. So, what is a public policy? A public policy can be defined as a system of laws, regulatory measures, courses of action, and funding priorities regarding a specific area of government's function. This is essentially government's position on a certain issue and what the government would choose to do or not to do about such an issue. For example, a government may have a public policy on education, such as the education curriculum that will be followed, criminal justice policy, such as whether or not to allow and permit the death penalty, social policy, such as allowing and regulating pregnancy terminations, and the right to choose. A government may also have an economic policy, in which it regulates how it plans to collect taxes, and how much it will collect. An environment policy, in which the government details its response to global warming. A policy on foreign affairs and national security, where the government outlines its position on global matters, and how it plans to deploy its defense force and military services. A government may also introduce a policy addressing social and welfare issues, where it details its plan on how it aims to improve the lives and welfare of its residents.
