Interest Groups are “an organized association of individuals who attempt to influence public policy, also known as a lobbies group, or a special group. This process is made so that interest groups would be an implement of public influence on politics to promote changes, but would not affect the government much. Whether or not this is still the case is a meaningful question that we must find out. Interest groups play numerous roles in the American political system, such as representation,…

Prior to this past April, politics had not ever peaked my interest. However, in April I turned 18, making me a legal voter in the United States. Naturally and subsequently, I made the decision to begin looking into the world of politics. With the television at my disposal, I began using it as a source of better understanding the type of political culture I am living in. Every country offers its unique set of values and part of those values is what makes up the political culture. The political…

Whilst debate and discussion simulated my imagination, I wanted to understand…

The title I chose for the paper reflects the main focus in the readings for this week. In this paper, I will critically evaluate the articles assigned for this week by noting their weak and powerful sides. In addition to separately critiquing the articles, I will also compare the interrelated articles with each other, such as Tavits’s (2005) and Robert and Wibbels’s (1999) articles. Tavits (2005) examines the effect of some factors on electoral volatility, such as national economic performance,…

I have been interested in politics since the age of six when I told my grandmother that my dream job was to be a United States Supreme Court Justice. I have worked at local, state, and federal level campaigns, and I enjoyed every minute that I worked for them. The reason politics interest me so much is because it allows for direct help to be given to millions of people such as the Civil Rights…
