Problem:
Please note that there are two posts needed to successfully complete the discussion board assignment. An initial post addressing the discussion board topic is due by end of day Saturday. A response post to at least one other student is due by end of day Tuesday. Do you think today's political parties and interest groups encourage or hinder your engagement or participation in politics (at any government level)? Explain your rationale, and offer two examples to support your position. If no initial posts exist to allow for a response to be made, you may submit an additional initial post addressing another aspect of the unit topic.
