    Select one interest group and one minority group—minority defined by low representation or lack of authority. Create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation. This slide count does not include title and references slides. Describe their influence and challenges as they would be viewed by the group theories of pluralism, state autonomy, and elitism. Include the following items in your assessment of those influences and challenges: Select a contemporary issue that has polarizing viewpoints, such as environmental policy, taxation and income redistribution, same-sex marriage, worker’s rights, immigration, and so on. Discuss how politically powerful factions compete in policy decisions and debate issues. You could examine environmentalists versus big business or alternate energy sources versus more oil drilling. Provide your assessment of whether or not the opposition you described has contributed to a healthy debate. Consider the following questions: Has the opposition moved toward consensus or polarization in public opinion? Are either or both leaving the national interest aside in favor of their own? What is your conclusion about the best answer to the issue? Evaluate theoretical perspectives, such as pluralism, state autonomy, or elitism, and explain factionalism in support of and opposition to your issue. Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
