Example Issue Review Issue: Legalization of Prostitution Aspect 1: Safety Pro: Stern, S. W., (2019). Sex workers of the world unite. The American Scholar, pp. 40-54. The author presents the case, largely though the words of sex-workers themselves, for de criminalization and for allowing sex workers to control the conditions of their work—that is, to operate brothels themselves, choose their physicians, provide and receive benefits, and work outside brothels if they so choose - which will make them safer and less apt to be exploited.

Der Spiegel Online. https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/human-trafficking-persists-despite legality-of-prostitution-in-germany-a-902533.html Staff writers report that since de-criminalization of prostitution in Germany in 2003, exploitation and human trafficking remain significant problems.

Issue: Pandemic Planning and Response in the United States Aspect 1: National Security Priority and Preparedness Pro: Burwell, S. M. (2020). Ensuring America's health security: A strategy for pandemic preparedness and response. The Washington Post. The author highlights how crucial it is for the US to prioritize pandemic preparedness as a matter of national security. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how important health security is to ensuring all citizens are protected, and the country should regulate by giving pandemic preparedness a high priority. Con: The Heritage Foundation. (2021). The risks of securitizing pandemics. The Daily Signal. The paper argues against pandemics solely being presented as threats to national security and being securitized. The author argues that although pandemic preparedness is essential, focusing on security at the expense of other pressing public health issues may also result in oversight and a misallocation of resources. Aspect 2: Dynamic National Strategy and Budget Allocation Pro: Johnson, T. R. (2021). A new approach to pandemic preparedness: Developing a dynamic national strategy. Journal of Public Health Policy, 42(3), 345-358. The author proposes a flexible national pandemic preparedness strategy that may adapt to evolving threats. The document stresses the significance of building up a budget dedicated to pandemic preparation and response to ensure adequate resources are available to manage potential health emergencies. Con: Davis, R. W. (2022). The challenges of budgeting for pandemics: A critical analysis. Public Administration Review, 80(4), 612-625. The challenges of budgeting for pandemics are examined in this study, and it is strongly suggested that there may be better ways to allocate budgets. The author argues that increased resource flexibility and collaboration between the federal, national, and local governments are necessary for pandemic preparedness to guarantee a radical reaction. Aspect 3: Clarifying Responsibilities for Pandemic Preparedness Pro: Smith, J. A., & Lee, K. (2023). Federalism as an asset for pandemic preparedness in the United States. Health Policy, 110(2), 210-217. The article makes the case for a unique division of efforts among the various branches of government in terms of pandemic preparedness. The importance of federalism as a trait that enables states to tailor solutions to match their needs while coordinating projects at the federal level is emphasized. Con: Public Health Watchdog Group. (2023). Federalism challenges in pandemic preparedness: Lessons from COVID-19. Health Affairs Blog. The Public Health Watchdog Group expresses concern about the capacity limitations of federalism in pandemic crises. The paper discusses several instances of the COVID-19 pandemic in which a lack of cooperation between the federal and national governments and diverse strategies hampered the overall response.More Articles From Philosophy
