What is the difference btween a practical and policy proposal?

• Answer:

  In what context? What class is this for? Practical proposal is what it is - a proposal to, probably, implement some rule that is so narrow that it is applicable in practice. Think narrow. Policy proposal - a proposal to implement a rule that is very broad, that doesn't outline specific steps that would have to be followed, or some specific guidelines that must be in place, but a rule that dictates a general approach that should be taken. Think broad. Practical proposal is something that would be necessary to put in place the policy proposal. You state the policy first, and then tell how to put it in practice (hence, word "practical"). I'll give you an example. A real example dealing with where the drinking age limit in our country came from. It began with a policy proposal (just like everything else, a broad idea). The policy proposal was: we want reduce the number of accidents that are alcohol-related, because there have been too many of them involving people who are 18-21. Practical proposal (how are we going to do it): we will cut off federal road funding to those states that do not raise their drinking age limit to 21. FYI: result is that ALL the states in the US raised their drinking age limit to 21, because they didn't want to lose federal money. Did this help?
