Factions
People join interest groups because they are strongly motivated by the group's goals or, perhaps, they believe they can exercise power within the group that they would not otherwise have. Groups also entice people to join them by offering group benefits or even by punishing those who do not join.
The targets of interest groups are the groups of people that can most support the cause. Wealthy people are the targets of medical interest groups for example.
A public pressure group is a group of people (usually citizens) who share a common view on a particular subject. This is also often called a "special interest group". They can have any of a large number of names including "Political Action Committee". Such groups tend to be politically motivated, but are some times motivated by social issues as well.
Public interest groups
Interest groups are good and bad. Good-- They give a stronger voice to people in government. Bad-- They have to much power in government. So that basically says it all about interest groups.
Interest groups set out to help people with the same ideals and viewpoints. They are essential in getting laws and statutes passed for business, unions, or groups.
In a market economy, people are motivated to work by self interest. In a command economy, such as that of North Korea, people are motivated by some combination of patriotism and fear. In a utopian community they might be motivated by idealism. Those are pretty much the only options.
Interest Groups often succeed in convincing people with good reasoning. They can also convince people with money.
These can include the political parties. People are able to vote on the people that they want in office. Interest groups also help to keep things honest.
