Answer to Question 2
An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how America's political system is resistant to change. Change is very difficult, there are numerous points to stop change from occurring, and the status quo is often preserved.
2, Discuss how political resources are not distributed equally, undermining the pluralist argument. For example, some people face barriers to joining groups. Effective organizations require resources, something that poor people and groups lack. Thus, there is a bias in favor of the wealthy and the upper class.
3, Discuss how many issues may not make it on the agenda. Poverty is often excluded from the agenda. Nondecisions can keep items off of the agenda.
4, Discuss the idea that groups do not automatically form. Groups do not always form as a result of a disturbance as pluralists contend. Many groups have trouble overcoming collective action problems.
5, Discuss how all of the above undermine the pluralist arguments.
