My public Policy Problem: Secure Internet Access for All (Net Neutrality)

My Stance to refer: The Internet is a basic service that all should have reliable access to. This is an important public problem to focus on because the internet is used for a variety of reasons, including work and education, and should be considered essential in modern society. A cause of this problem is that in a crisis, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, people must work from home if possible, and public schools must shift to online education. As a result, students who rely on public libraries for internet use are left struggling to educate themselves. Chrome-books are loaned out to students (usually only up to high school level), assuming they have some type of internet entry. For students at a college-level, they may not even have a computer of any type. As for those who must work from home, most workplaces provide a work laptop assuming their employees have internet access. One may argue that people are typically able to utilize public resources, such as libraries or public wifi; yet those resources are not available at all hours, and in this case not at all. An additional cause to this issue is that public television channels, which are generally used to keep the public informed, have restrictions, and are not very reliable or efficient to keep the public up-to-date. Newspapers are not a great source either, as they are not easily accessible. As a result, those who rely on sources such as television or newspapers are potentially left in the dark, while others who are better-informed engage in the world freely. The internet is an effective source to keep the public informed on matters at the touch of a finger. It is also a vital source in expanding knowledge; having internet access, without restrictions, leaves people free to research whatever makes them curious. I do not understand why the government does not provide such a source for low-income families, as it would help them broaden their minds, and possibly aid in taking them out of the circumstances they are in. Rather than being unknowledgeable or having to abide by hours of operation of a Starbucks, having public, unrestricted internet entry at homes of low-income families, is a solution. The internet is a whole entire world of itself, in which all should have means of entry.

*** QUESTION****

I need help creating slides 5-8. The rest I can finish

*5: Create a Casual Model

Causes can also be known as “independent variables” or “treatments”
Effects can also be known as “dependent variables” or “outcomes”
Units of observation are the objects that are affected by the public problem, which can be people, school districts, cities, counties, states, or countries

*7. Policy Analyst Highlight:

include 1 local, 1 state, 1 federal, 1 international

1 law or rule for each and website link

Identify a specific Federal Law or Regulation or Judicial Ruling that needs to be amended or overruled to help solve the public problem

Search Federal laws database (Links to an external site.)
Search Federal regulations database (Links to an external site.)
Search Federal judicial rulings database (Links to an external site.)
Identify a specific State Law or Regulation or Judicial Ruling that needs to be amended or overruled to help solve the public problem
Search State laws database (Links to an external site.)
Search State regulations database (Links to an external site.)
Search State judicial rulings database (Links to an external site.)
Identify a specific Local Law or Regulation that needs to be amended to help solve the public problem. Below are examples of three localities, you only need 1 and you can find another one that is more relevant (for example you may want to look at the City of Lemon Grove, because that is your hometown)
City of El Cajon laws (Links to an external site.)
City of San Diego laws (Links to an external site.)
Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District policies
*8. Communications Analyst Highlight
