the purposes and the functions for each group differ as well. the most major difference is the fact that interest groups are interested in persuading the government. political parties are more interested in running the government. the benefits of interest groups in US democracy is that they even though the group may be formed for a specific reason, it focuses on civil matters as a whole. the groups are for the people and what they really want.
Some use this privilege to their own advantage, informing themselves and doing their part in impacting these decisions that ultimately shape the future of our beloved country. While some, on the other hand, choose not to do so. But that is completely their decision and their right as a citizen. The fifteenth Constitutional Amendment grants every citizen this right to choose by stating, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” While some may say it would be more efficient and “correct” to enforce compulsory voting, I believe that abolishing this freedom to choose in order to enforce a law requiring people to vote would violate the rights we have been given as a democratic nation. And while it may increase the number of voter turnouts, it could also possibly take away the significance of an individual’s vote all together.
Third is logos, the act of persuading by providing the audience with logic of the author's arguments. Every aspect of rhetorical appeals was shown in Senator Barack Obama's speech. In the speech, Obama uses these appeals to persuade his audience that we, as Americans, need to come together as a union to solve the problems of our society. Obama begins his speech by reciting the first line of the United States Constitution, "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union" (647). Through the use of the United States Constitution, Obama shows his credibility to write the speech and for the nation to trust him and realize the importance of his speech.
Aleeza Waxman Mrs. Beach AP English September 29th, 2013 President Kennedy’s inaugural speech introduced Americans to his ideas and beliefs that he wanted to make a reality during his presidency. He tries to convey a sense of trustworthiness because if the nation doesn’t trust him, they will never feel comfortable during his term in office. Kennedy uses strategies like pathos, antithesis, and parallelism to help interpret his goals to the people and form a good relationship with the nation based on trust. Throughout the course of his speech, President Kennedy uses several persuasive appeals to inspire and gain the trust of his audience. However, Kennedy effectively uses emotional language to make his audience feel involved in his goals as President.

To get the attention of his audience, the American people, President Obama referenced a historical document the “Declaration of Independence”, he used the repeated words “together and we ” and he connected with the American people by including himself as one of them. Referencing the Declaration of Independence was an effective strategy President Obama used to establish the historical context behind the speech. The signing of the Declaration of Independence was the start of freedom for the American people and to be self-governed. President Obama referenced the Declaration of Independence because it supports his idea of the effects of togetherness. The President stated that “What makes us American is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago”.
Most people that think a higher education should be free are not very wealth but there are programs like financial aide to help them if they have the desire to get a higher education. If a higher education is just handed to them they begin to take things for granted and if that happens then they expect everything to be handed to them. So if America paid for the higher education of its citizens, America would not improve but eventually fail. Not paying for the higher education insures there will be service jobs; people that don’t have the desire to try in college will not waste the government’s money, and utilize
To solve this market failure, government intervention seems to be the only feasible solution so far. The government can either subsidize or ban unpaid internships. However, subsidy is not reasonable because based on cost-benefit analysis. It costs the government too much to solve this market failure. On the other hand, banning unpaid internship opportunities is not effective because if business could not afford to provide internships, young graduates cannot gain experiences and provide positive externalities to the society.
