Cymdeithas yr laith Gymraeg is a Welsh language society based in Aberystwyth comprised mainly of volunteers and 3 full-time members. Their goals are to promote the Welsh language and make it an official language of Wales. They campaign for a new language act, reversing the current system of bilingualism to prioritize Welsh, and increasing Welsh education and media like saving the Welsh language TV channel S4C. To protest, some members have committed minor crimes like graffiti. While they have faced challenges, they have succeeded in establishing Radio Cymru and S4C to help preserve the Welsh language.

Advertising has existed for thousands of years, starting with wall paintings in ancient Egypt and Rome used to promote goods and political ideas. In the 18th century, printed advertisements began appearing in newspapers to promote books and medicines. The development of radio in the 1920s led to the first radio advertisements, with early radio stations providing programming in exchange for brief promotions of sponsors. This model was later adopted for the new medium of television in the 1950s, establishing the ongoing practice of multiple short advertisements spaced throughout commercial programming.British Media

However, pressure groups are not politically accountable and some may wield disproportionate influence, while others have little. Overall, both pressure groups and political parties disperse power and inform the public, but parties must develop platforms representing all citizens, whereas pressure groups promote single issues.NIOS STD X 10TH, SOCIAL SCIENCE, Ch 21 political parties and pressure groups

Pressure groups aim to influence government policy through lobbying and propaganda. They represent organized groups focused on a shared issue or interest. Pressure groups' power depends on factors like wealth, size, and strong leadership. They can exert influence through ministers, parliament, political parties, and by shaping public opinion. While pressure groups can promote democracy through wider participation, they also potentially threaten democracy if their influence becomes disproportionate or not transparent.More Related Content

Pressure groups are organizations that aim to influence government policy in a particular area. They use various legal and, in some cases, illegal tactics to attract media attention and public support for their cause. Key legal tactics include petitioning, organizing demonstrations, lobbying politicians, and using celebrities to spread their message. While pressure groups have the right to criticize government and protest peacefully, they must not use illegal actions or spread misinformation. Some groups like Fathers 4 Justice have broken the law through unauthorized protests, undermining their effectiveness. Agriculture in Bangladesh

Pressure groups seek to influence government policy or business activity to promote their members' interests. They can be single-issue focused like the RSPB on bird welfare or multi-issue like trade unions. Groups like the AA protect members' interests while others promote issues like Greenpeace advocating for the environment. Pressure groups use tactics like lobbying, protests, boycotts and occasionally illegal direct actions. Their influence depends on capturing public support and keeping issues relevant. Successful campaigns have led to legal and ethical changes in businesses and policies around issues like the environment, transportation safety and consumer protections. Businesses may accept pressure groups' arguments, defend their own stance, pursue legal action or improve their public image in response to pressure. Selfi

- Welsh is an endangered language that is only spoken by 16-20% of people in Wales, with higher percentages in northern and western Wales. The Welsh language has faced historic repression through English laws and policies attempting to replace Welsh with English.
- A comparison is drawn between the repression of Welsh and Catalan, though Catalan still has a higher percentage of speakers despite similar treatment. The document investigates the current state of the Welsh language through interviews, research, and time spent in Wales.
- The conclusion is that the Welsh language needs support to avoid disappearing, as the people of Wales now seem to lack interest in their own culture and language if no efforts are made to revive it through education policies and cultural promotion.

The judiciary plays several key political roles in the UK system of government. It acts to dispense justice fairly, interpret the laws as intended by Parliament, and establish legal precedents through case law. However, judges' ability to check the executive has come under increasing criticism from politicians, as judges have challenged government policies on issues like civil liberties, counter-terrorism laws, and sentencing guidelines. To increase the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, major reforms were passed in 2005 that replaced the Lord Chancellor and established new judicial appointment processes.Executive
