Gam B. Garbuja GOVT-2306 (73004) Professor Sherry Sharifian April 5, 2017 Interest groups and the Lobbyist The government plays a significant role in making laws in favor of the people and their welfare but there are times when a particular group of people and race are not part of it.

As a group, we have set task dimensions such as getting the collective nine hours of community service done, then getting our proof of the hours, completing our papers, and successfully delivering a group project to our peers before the end of the semester or due dates. These are the clear cut circumstances we have been placed into as group the…

Because each person tries to be as…
