Pressure Groups People who have strong opinions on a particular issue often try to influence what happens by putting pressure on MP’s and people who make decisions. They are called pressure groups (or sometimes lobby groups or protest groups).
Some pressure groups work to protect the interests of their members, such as trade unions. Others work to promote a cause, such as animals rights.

Model conclusion
Underline anything that makes this a good conclusion. Annotate why, as well as any improvements.
Overall, pressure groups do play a positive role in society as they make the government aware of issues people care about. Some groups might overstep the mark by causing violence and breaking the law, and harming others can never be justified. However, this does not change the fact that most pressure groups peacefully work to bring change that can benefit the whole of society.
Task
Write your own conclusion to the question on a post-it.
‘Pressure groups bring positive change to our society’
