INFLUENCES ON GOVENMENT

Influences On Government 
Our governmental system is influenced by a number of inputs and factors that shape the
outcome of political
movements and decisions. These inputs include public pinions, political parties, interest
groups, and the influence of mass media.
They influence our government directly as well as indirectly. Not to mention, that our
government also uses these inputs for its own
benefit. The main issue that forms governmental decisions in a democracy is of course the
public opinion. In order to be eligible to run
for an office in our governmental system, one must be elected by the people or a
representative thereof, and to achieve this task one
must listen to and obey the public's opinion. Therefore, the theory of democracy is most
purely applied through election on behalf of
the public opinion. Another important factor in our system of government are of course
our political parties. Parties enable the citizen
living in a democratic society to establish a connection to governmental action and lead
policy-making to his benefit or liking.
Furthermore, a citizen can participate in society quite easily, since 2 party platforms
which clearly indicate a parties goals and
preferences. However, this democratic ideal does not always prevail. Parties can be
influenced or even manipulated by people who
contribute great amounts of funds to the party to have their own personal political
wishes fulfilled which do not necessarily have to
benefit society as a whole (power elite theory). Interest groups account for an
additional 'mover' in Washington. This political devise
provides a supplement to our citizens broad area of interests. Since the American People
can only choose between two main parties.
Therefore, certain issues might not come to political debate. Interest groups fill this
gap and thus withhold the theory of democracy.
Yet, 'Big Business' has also found this devise to help fulfill its political needs. Once
again politics is influenced by a small amount of
citizens, that own about two thirds of our nations worth. Interest groups have grown more
influential over the years and created a
pluralistic society, in which people's everyday issues and interests are brought to the
attention of our governmental system. However,
since there is a rapid growth in interest groups and political action committees, the
competition among groups might become so
extensive that demands on politicians might be to high and hence, our system would come
to a halt or gridlock and nothing would be
achieved anymore. Last but not least mass media provide another 'input' to our system of
government. The media provide the people
with information they need to be able 3 to make sensible political decisions. In
formation on election debates current poles help the
public to stay in touch with the policy-makers in Washington.
