INTEREST GROUPS

Interest Groups are organizations that seek to influences policies. There are many such organization ranging from concerns on the climate, businesses, peace on the international level whilst issues like health, wages and advancement policies for certain minority people.

Most interest groups  ability to get their message across is a big factor to consider when lobbying for their issues of interest. This is because without the proper means of getting the message across, no change is going to be achieved.

Demonstration and boycotts. This tactic is probably most famous for being used during the early civil movements like the Montgomery Bus Boycott organized by Martin Luther King Jr. This method of getting a message across especially in the U.S.A for the legal system to be changed in regard to minority rights have been very successful.  Demonstration and boycott is when a group of people march on the street to petition the governments to listen to their grievances on certain rights that have been denied them. Usually it start off peacefully and sometime end with clashes with the police and destruction of properties.

I choose this passage because of the positive achievement it has brought to the Black American and will continue to bring. examples are the equal civil rights and also social rights achieved through this means. Even on the international level some president have step down due to demonstration and boycotts. Removal of university president through this means as he in unable to prevent racism in the university.

These are a few of the achievements made by interest group who choose this method of getting their message across. But on a whole minority, who neither have the means or the resources to get their message across, this mean is the only choice for them. And it does certainly carry their message across to get the change needed.
