This can slow down the political process immensely, and as the government has a mandate to put through such legislation, pressure groups become undemocratic and start to undermine the democratic process. One last reason why pressure groups undermine democracy is the fact that they themselves may be undemocratic, and the leaders of these groups may not truly represent the views of their leaders. This undermines the whole point of pressure groups groups and thus can be seen as the 'politics of self-interest' and can present the public with overbiased and false information. Overall however, pressure groups are more likely to help the democratic process rather than hinder it, as they advance and improve political participation, and as participation is a vital part of democracy, pressure groups are an important part of the UK's democracy. While pressure groups may have unbalanced influence due to varying methods and funds, they are generally good at being a channel of representation between the people and the government, keeping the government in touch with the people.
When you put politics and offenses together it could have several negative effects on our country and its’ people. * When people involved with offenses become involved with people who make laws and policies which our country lives by the representatives of the people in order to prohibit being symbolizing the people, this makes them corrupt.

In society today, it is often that the powerful individuals retain their power by manipulating the masses and keeping them ignorant. In George Orwell’s 1984, the Party has used tactics which suppress the rights and freedoms of the Outer Party and the Proles. In order to keep their ruling status, the Party promotes ignorance and fear among its peoples. In this case, Oceania’s citizens can be compared with modern individuals who are immersed with propaganda-generating media which releases biased news because the government or intellectuals want citizens to stay ignorant in order to stabilize their power in society. There are similarities between the telescreens used in 1984 and modern-day propaganda because both have a similar purpose which
The thing that Hope was protecting Andy from was the voices in her head. She would hear the voices telling her that someone were going to take him or hurt him in some way. Hope had many problems because she did not have the parenting skills that she needed to take care of Andy. Hope needed people in her life to help her care for Andy and to tell her what she was doing right and what she was doing wrong. Social services should have removed Andy from her care because she could not care for him.
A secret I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone because of the fear that if I told my whole family would hate me. I know what a terrible feeling it is to have to hide from the truth. To have the fear of being judged for someone else’s actions. Melinda had to try to turn invisible and ignore people laughing t her. She had to go through the struggle of a home, school, and social life.
Sophocles and Thoreau Civil Disobedience Since the very conception of the idea of an organized government, the response by some members of the society being governed has naturally been to oppose the laws or decisions made by their leaders. Most commonly seen as an active form of nonviolent resistance, such movements are now known as acts of civil disobedience and have been prominently displayed in various cultures and as a function have appeared in numerous written texts as well. With many famous historical figures being associated with the movement of civil disobedience such as Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma K. Gandhi, it sometimes comes as a surprise to learn of lesser known figures, such as the famous Greek dramatist Sophocles, whose works have also proven to be essential texts on this movement. Two specific texts of significant importance are Thoreau’s “Resistance to Civil Government” also widely known as “Civil Disobedience,” and Sophocles’ play “Antigone.” With “Antigone” existing as one of the earliest depictions of civil disobedience, and Thoreau’s text serving as one of the most prominent publications on the movement in today’s age, the similarities in their underlying message prove that the ideals of civil disobedience have remained seemingly unchanged since the birth of the movement. This common message, not only between the two works in discussion but in many others, is that of the duty of the people themselves to disobey unjust laws and demands of the government in question.
If their mother was still alive they would not have to hide from their father. Brian on the other hand attributed his experiences to the fact that life was harsh on him and he could not forgive the people in his life that hurt him. This was in the beginning of the movie.

When someone is labelled an offender they are forced by society to live according to this label which could minimise their chances of being law abiding citizens and limit their chances of finding decent jobs. When deviants realise that society is defining them as thieves or offenders, they feel the need to act out on these labels. Deviants then try to adapt to their new profile by participating in various deviant (criminal)
