Usually, policymakers develop insurance policies in response to a current societal drawback or occasion. Whereas some societal issues, reminiscent of homelessness, unemployment, and poverty, require long-term coverage growth and refinement, society generally calls for instant coverage implementation in response to occasions or issues that proved harmful for society at giant. For instance, the U.S. terrorist assaults on September 11, 2001, and the following terrorist threats heightened airport safety and created merchandise restrictions for airplane carry-on baggage. Over time, policymakers adjusted these insurance policies because the hazard appeared much less imminent as a result of growth of different insurance policies. What insurance policies are you conscious of that policymakers developed in response to a societal drawback or occasion? Are these insurance policies efficient responses to the issues or occasions? If not, how may you alter them with a view to make them simpler?
