Describe the key characteristics of a pluralist model.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. In the pluralist model, individuals have little direct power over political decision making but can influence government policies through special-interest groups-unions, professional organizations, and so on. The various groups rarely join ranks because they concentrate on single issues such as health care, pollution, or education. This focus on different issues fragments groups, but also results in a broad representation of interests and a distribution of power.
