Dr. Mapp on the presidential Cabinet

Domestic policy includes those laws focusing on domestic affairs.  Social welfare, health care, education, civil rights, economic issues and social issues, such as family law, all fall under the domestic policy category. Foreign policy focuses on the nation’s international relations and how the U.S. interacts with other countries [issues that come up between our country and others are known as foreign affairs]. Foreign policy focuses on diplomacy, the work of keeping up relations between the governments of different countries. To accomplish this, the government relies on diplomats, people skilled in diplomacy, to maintain relationships with other countries. The president will sometimes outline his or her foreign policy goals in a written statement, which becomes known as a doctrine.
