Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pluralist model suggests that power is distributed among different groups in society and that various interest groups with differing viewpoints are able to influence policy decisions. In Scenario 1, the Environmental Sustainability Club and Students for Justice Group are both able to voice their concerns and have their opinions considered, which is more in line with the pluralist model than the ruling class or authoritarian models. The power elite model suggests that a small group of powerful individuals hold all the power and make all decisions, which does not seem to be the case in this scenario. Therefore, the best model to describe this scenario is the pluralist model.
