22 USING YOUR UNDERSTANDING 1. The organization of the federal government is very complex; policy responsibilities are delegated among many different agencies and offices. Take a look at the simplified organization chart of the bureaucracy. (See for example, Figure 15.3, p. 476.) Based on what you know about the particular responsibilities of these many offices, try to categorize them according to different policy arenas such as the economy, social welfare, equality issues, environment, technology, or national security. Keep in mind that these policy arenas encompass many different types of policies. Take note of any agencies that fall within one or more of the policy groups. Briefly describe what you found in terms of the relative organizational emphasis on each of the policy arenas. 2. Regulations affect many different aspects of our everyday lives. (See the section, "A Full Day of Regulation," p. 490.) Keep a record of your regulated day from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, recording which aspects of your life are regulated and what federal agency is doing the regulation. After your record is complete, make an overall assessment as to the degree to which federal regulation affects you. Based on your assessment, consider whether or not the costs of regulation exceed the benefits it provides you. Also consider whether or not any of the regulations you recorded are not necessary or could be handled to your satisfaction by some other method or by a private means as compared to governmental means.
