Howard Zinn book A People's History of the United States tells history from minorities perspective, the loosing sides and the ones affected by certain courses of actions while traditional texts usualy stand on the other side, telling history from the country's traditional point of view.

This shows historians sometimes tell history from one point of view not considering that in every situation there're always at least two different perspectives. Objectivity is rarely found when History es told as historians usualy tend to incline to one side or another.

Summarize the specific methods used by interest groups in order to influence governmental decision making in all three branches

Shalnov [3]

Interest groups use various strategies; the inside game (lobbying) and the outside game to influence government. Lobbying attempts to influence all officials working in the three arms of government, and the federal bureaucracy.

Lobbying the Legislature
Interest groups spend millions of dollars on lobbying members on the Congress on some issues. They try to affect the legislation being generated in the Congress.
Lobbying the Judiciary
Interest groups work to influence the court system in several ways. Interest groups file amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs, presenting an argument in favour of a particular issue and sometimes file lawsuits against the government.
Lobbying the Executive
Although some lobbyists get direct access of the president, Interest groups target regulatory agencies which are lower levels of the executive branch.In the outside game, Interest groups attempt to convince ordinary citizens to put pressure on their government representatives through grassroots activism and electoral strategies to achieve their goals.
