Pluralism works in the way that groups and coalitions are constantly fighting for power within the government to fit their agendas and the people they are vying for. This can be seen with the bike rack debate that has been presented in Sierra Vista’s city council. The special interest group is offering an award of being a bike friendly city to Sierra Vista in hopes of making people healthier, however public opinion support of the bike racks has been dismal at best. This is a local example but the NRA is an example of a larger special interest group where a lot more wealth comes into play as in a biased pluralism only adding fuel to the ruling elite…
From Ross's pluralism, these applicants generally weighted their options for a decision wrongly, and that’s why they are making the wrong judgment. They did not take account of all factors, present and future. Finally, from the rule utilitarianism point of view, these applicants are also wrong since there action is wrong based on the rule. The rule typically results in the greatest good, and I think in this case the rule is valid. Even if it was invalid, this is not the correct process to change…

A pluralist government is much like the opposite of the elitist government. In a pluralist government the power of decision making and policy making are based more on the wants and needs of many rather than just a few. It is said to be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.Everyones views are valued regardless of ones position in society. This is similar to the type of government we have…
1. Which of the following is NOT an element of the pluralist group theory of politics?…
There were two examples of this. The first one being about the school that had “International Day” where different races, ethnic groups, and cultures could rejoice and demonstrate their homeland’s culture. The school, which was predominantly white, accepted this ethnic variation within their school’s society and let different ethnic groups have the main stage in their school for the day - something that does not happen very often. Another example of pluralism was the bars and clubs where the Vietnamese and also Hispanic people attended. They were able to dance and practice their culture’s customs at a location within a white community. It was accepted by the people of the community and many of the people who did not belong to that culture found it exciting and fun to see foreign groups demonstrating their…
Pluralism: idea that citizens should be informed and should participate in democratic decision making to ensure the health and vitality of the system…
The idea of disciplined pluralism is the difference between centralized and decentralized decision-making as it pertains to the economy (i.e. the government). To put in another way, communist and socialist country’s economies exist under monoism where the government dictates the terms and conditions of markets. In United States and other market economies, the market largely determines what is good for the market by exploring possibilities and cultivating innovation with profit motive. This may seem counterintuitive, the idea that markets operate at their optimal efficiency when left alone and evolve naturally, but it is the essential requirement of a market economy. In a market economy, a process of perpetual experimentation by entrepreneurs exists, where most experiments fail and are terminated, but the very few that succeed are rapidly imitated. The reason that centralized systems cannot compete is that innovation cannot be mandated, rather entrepreneurs must have a motive for exploration and markets must be able to meet the demands of the customer. State-controlled economies are incapable of dictating or maintaining this sort of framework. A prime example of how state-controlled economies are dangerous and destined to fail can be seen in China’s Great Leap Forward.…

Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognizes that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognizing and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age. By recognizing and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued.…
