What are the different theoretical frameworks that the texts are relying on?Do they make use of these theories in an effective and convincing manner?

Reading response

Your reading responses must be approximately 500-800 words and critically engage with all of the readings for that class, as well as the theme of the week, and offer your own personal reflections and critiques. Rather than summarizing the text, you are asked to draw out the author or authors’ main arguments and offer points of comparison, analysis and critique.

Do NOT summarize the contents of the text. While you may briefly outline the author’s main argument, most of your response should offer your own critical and analytical reflections.

What is your INFORMED critique of the text (don’t tell me you “like the writing style”)? You may use other readings from previous weeks to come up with your INFORMED critique.

NOTE: Reading and writing “critically” does not mean the same thing as “criticizing,” in everyday language (complaining, fault-finding, disliking…). Your “critique” can be positive and praise the text or point out problems, disagreements and shortcomings.

Who has the time to be involved in interest groups?Are interest groups truly representative of the cares and concerns of all Americans, or are these organizations in their very creation undemocratic?

Political Parties now compete with Interest Groups for members, money and attention. This is somewhat logical. Is it not a single issue or a single set of issues that lure a person into politics? Interest Groups often presents themselves as the purer way to be civically engaged. A citizen can focus all their energy and resources on a singular agenda. A citizen may feel like he or she is accomplishing something.

However, is there not something a little risky about interest groups? Are interest groups truly equal? Who has the time to be involved in interest groups?Are interest groups truly representative of the cares and concerns of all Americans, or are these organizations in their very creation undemocratic? Furthermore, unlike political parties which are made up of members with numerous policy agendas, interest groups rarely have more than a handful of goals. They may behave like political parties – give money to candidates, campaign about a policy. However, interest groups are outside of government. How can government function if elected officials owe their electoral success to promises made to competing interest groups, especially as these groups work outside government and are not required to compromise on legislative issues?

Therefore, have interest groups become too powerful in a republican system of government? Do true democracies need interest groups to represent people or issues? Are they better representatives than the political party system America currently has? Could one not argue that in a democracy, citizens should have a “voice,” but not the “special interest” apparatus” that has emerged? What qualifies an interest as a “special interest” anyway? Is there an issue or cause that would inspire you become involved with a group?
