Discuss the three streams Kingdon has identified where problems originate, and provide your opinion on which one most accurately reflects how and why policies come about.
Discuss the assertion that certain kinds of issues receive preferential treatment in problem solution and political streams. Discuss tactics that policy practitioners use within each of the three streams to increase the odds that a specific issue will be placed on decision agendas. This is for a social work program Kingdom identified problem stream as one of the origins of problem. Kingdon argues that through the problem stream, legitimate problems are identified. This mostly occurs when some indicators show that a change is happening. For instance, if the rate of infant mortality is rising, or the costs of social security are risings, it is interpreted that a problem is occurring and there is a need to address it (Cairney & Jones, 2016). In most cases, budgetary issues are identified as main problems which call for consideration of alternatives or review of policies. Apart from certain indicators, focus on some symbols, crises, or events can also lead to the identification of problems. For instance, road accidents can lead to a review of road safety regulations (Cairney & Jones, 2016). Additionally, systems set by governments to monitor the health of its programs can lead to the identification of problems. However, to have policies put in place to solve the problems enough evidence is required.
