JA 8 A Civics: Nov. 23-27



This week we will look at the different people and groups that influence government in the United States. We will discuss how public opinion helps shape the decisions of our government officials and how public opinion is measured by opinion polls. We will investigate the importance of the mass media and how it influences the public opinion and the government. We will also discuss the "watchdog" role that the media can play. Finally, we will discuss interest groups, and how they influence government as well.
