  • SOC 320 Week 5 DQ 2 Policy Termination (Ash
    Course) 
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •  
  • Policy TerminationDont Ask Dont Tell (DADT)
    was a compromise between the Clinton
    administration and its opponents in Congress and
    the military. Compromise sometimes yields good
    policy, but sometimes it produces internally
    inconsistent and counterproductive policy. Using
    DADT as an example, what do you see to be the
    potential strengths and weaknesses of policy
    borne of compromise? The 18-year process of
    repealing DADT suggests that policy termination
    can be a lengthy process. Should policies be
    inherently difficult to terminate, especially
    those rooted in public attitudes?
