Questions:
- Put yourself in the role of someone in your interest group. Drawing on the 4 categories below consider how hog farming is directly or indirectly impacting your life, or the lives of those (human and non) you care about/are responsible for. How might these factors inform your position on hog farming?
- economic/job security
- environmental/living conditions
- cultural heritage
- individual, family, or community health
Write which categories might be of most concern to your interest group and why. Use specific data points from the readings to back this up:
- Pick one concept from our lectures to support an argument about the pros/cons of hog farming as they relate to your interest group.
- How does your interest group make their voices heard to government officials? If you are a government official, what principles shape how you develop your position? What kind of recognition does your interest group have or might they be lacking?
