A regular agenda typically outlines the topics to be discussed in a meeting, including the order in which they will be addressed. It serves as a guide for participants to stay on track and ensure all important items are covered. On the other hand, a chairperson's agenda is more focused on the facilitation of the meeting itself, including time allocations for each agenda item, managing discussions, and ensuring the meeting stays productive and efficient. The chairperson's agenda is more about the process and management of the meeting, while a regular agenda is about the content and topics to be discussed.
Citizens in ancient Athens were actively involved in their government through direct participation in the Assembly, where they could debate and vote on laws and policies. They also engaged in the Council of 500, which prepared the agenda for the Assembly. Additionally, citizens could serve as jurors in the courts, making decisions on legal matters. This system fostered a sense of civic duty and involvement in the democratic process.
From a book called Administrative Management by EJ Ferreira, AW Erasmus, D Groenewald in Chapter 8.3.2. 'When the agenda is drawn up, the secretary keeps a special copy for the chairperson. The 'Chairperson's agenda' is divided into three columns. To the left is the ordinary agenda. The central column contains particulars for the chairperson on who proposed the motion and any matter that should be remembered with regard to the issue. The right column is used for details on decisions, names of people elected to committees or members who have been charged (entrusted) with special duties.
Focus
Well, honey, matters arising in the agenda are important because they address any unresolved issues from previous meetings. It's like tying up loose ends so you can move forward without any lingering drama. So, pay attention to those matters arising, unless you want to keep rehashing the same old stuff every darn meeting.
A political agenda. To get certain politicians elected. An economic agenda. To get certain policies passed than will make them rich and powerful.

Yes, policies can be implemented to address public agenda goals through government actions and initiatives. Laws can be passed to provide a legal framework to enforce these policies and ensure compliance from all stakeholders. Both policies and laws play a critical role in achieving the objectives set by the public agenda.

The agenda setting process has to do with organizing meetings. The agenda is usually what is discussed at meetings in a preset order. A city council, for example, might discuss financial matters first, before discussing a problem a community member has.
Policies.
The public wants to vote because of the candidate's ideology and view of national issues, not if they live like the average middle-class worker or if they drive the same car as you. People who don't receive enough information about the candidate on how he/she will solve certain issues on the policy agenda won't vote at all.
Three possible agendas in the media include political, economic, and social agendas. For instance, a political agenda might focus on election coverage, highlighting candidates' policies and debates. An economic agenda could involve reporting on stock market trends or corporate earnings, influencing public perception of economic health. A social agenda may center on issues like climate change or social justice, promoting awareness and mobilization around these topics.
