Socialization is a onetime event.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Is the shift away from iron triangles and toward issue networks/policy communities beneficial for the functioning of democracy in the United States?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain the difference between iron triangles and issue networks/policy communities: While iron triangles consist of tight policy-making arrangements among interest groups, congressional committee members, and bureaucratic agencies, issue networks/policy communities represent more fluid and open networks of interest groups, scholars, and other experts.
2, Note that the shift from iron triangles to issue networks has been driven, in part, by the growth of interest groups and their use of advertising campaigns to draw public and media attention to issues that were formerly decided behind closed doors.
3, Take a position regarding whether this shift is a positive development. An affirmative position might emphasize that the process is more open to public involvement and therefore more democratic. A negative position might note that issue networks, like iron triangles, are prone to capture as a result of the revolving door of employees moving between federal government service and interest groups or lobbying firms.
