special-interest group

Read a random definition: onus

A quick definition of special-interest group:

A special-interest group is a group of people who work together to try to convince the government to make laws or policies that benefit their particular interest or cause. They do this by talking to politicians and trying to persuade them to support their ideas. For example, a group of people who care about protecting the environment might form a special-interest group to lobby for laws that reduce pollution or protect endangered species.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A special-interest group is an organization that aims to influence government policies or legislation in favor of a particular interest or issue. They do this by lobbying government officials and politicians.

Examples:

  • The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a special-interest group that advocates for gun rights and opposes gun control laws.
  • The American Medical Association (AMA) is a special-interest group that represents physicians and lobbies for healthcare policies that benefit doctors and patients.
  • The Sierra Club is a special-interest group that advocates for environmental protection and conservation.

These examples illustrate how special-interest groups work to influence government policies and laws in favor of their particular interest or issue. They use various tactics, such as lobbying, advertising, and grassroots organizing, to promote their agenda and gain support from lawmakers and the public.
