To a great extent it depends on the goverment's aim Some state governments welcome and encourage radical social change as their agenda. California is a good example. In those governments, the advice and sometimes the advocacy of these groups is welcomed and encouraged.In other governments, where the government is focused on a more traditional approach of providing some services that the people themselves cannot (roads, cops, firemen), it's not as much wanted or tolerated and is more of a hindrance.

An example is a town here in Kentucky tried to make a city government have their police department be 9% African-American because the state is 9% African American. Unfortunately, their police department of 11 guys was all white and male. Fine - except, there are only two African Americans living in the town.

One was, to put it in a bit of the old world fashion, the town drunk. The other was his wife. Both were about 60.

The town had to spend money and fight a lawsuit on this. Yes. Sources: My answer .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
