Possible Question 1.
One explanation of why certain issues receive more political attention (and presumably policy action) than others is based on the notion that characteristics of a problem can either automatically draw attention to a problem, or make it easier for interest groups to direct public attention to the problem.
List, explain, and provide examples of the four of the six characteristics identified in class that can help draw attention to a problem.
Explain in significant detail what Deborah Stone says about the use of either "numbers" or "symbols" as ways to influence the public agenda. (Pick one.)
Although "environment" is mentioned, why do you think climate change does not make it to the list above?
Possible Question 2
Who controls the agenda? Explain the three models discussed in class.
Looking at the survey information above, discuss which of the three models is most useful for explaining what voters paid the most attention to in July 2016 and why.
Possible Question 3
Imagine you are the lead strategist for either the Society Aiding the Non-rich Trying Arduously(SANTA), a group that seeks to provide low-income workers with health care and scholarships, or for Markets Are Really Very Excellent Liberated(MARVEL), a group dedicated to reducing all economic regulations.
Devise a three-pronged strategy for drawing attention to either 1) the problems of inequality and the need to provide balanced economic opportunity for all, or 2) the potential costs and injustices caused by regulation.
What kind of advantages might you have if you get your concerns to be viewed as a "crisis"?
Do you think that right now, as the Trump presidency is about to start, is a good time for your issues? Why, or why not?
