1) Do a brief literature review on the policy. Lit. Review can include the following:
a. What do existing studies tell us about the issue?
b. What methods/data do these studies use?
c. Where were the findings published?
d. What is missing from the existing literature?

2) Summarize some thoughts from your group about this particular policy direction base on the lit. review and its progress in the future:

Note: Refer to at least 2-3 news articles to understand the current context. In addition to referringto class readings/materials, refer to and look for at least 4-5 other academic sources for the literature review about your specific policy issue.
