(AT LEAST 3 CONFLICTS TO BE COMPARED USE THE EXACT STRUCHER BELOW)
1) Identify a conflict between Game Plan and Playing to Win in terms of a single factor, e.g. Game Plan and Playing to Win take differing views as to the rationale for participating in sport.
2) Expand on this by summarizing each policy’s position/stance/action and illustrate via a representative quote, e.g. According to Game Plan, participation in sport is encouraged by enjoyment.... This is evident in the policy, where it states… [quote] According to Playing to Win, participation in sport is encouraged by competition.... This is evident in the policy, where it states… [quote].
3) Critically evaluate conflict from the perspective of the British tax payer, e.g. To determine which approach best serves the British tax payer, these opposing views will be critically analysed through the ‘lens’ of sports policy theory/evidence. According to Smith (2017), competition has been reported as a barrier to sports participation in some demographics.
4) Answer the question, e.g. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that, in terms of this conflict, Game Plan best serves the British tax payer because sports participation is best encouraged by making sport more fun and with increased levels of sport participation will come health benefits (Jones, 2017), which will save money spent on illnesses associated with sedentary behaviour (Brown, 2017).
