Answer:
(a)
Sectional interest groups seek to promote the interest of a particular section
of a society. Trade unions, business association and professional bodies are
some important examples of sectional interest groups.
They are sectional because they represent a particular section of society
and work for the betterment and well-being of their members.
On the other hand, public interest groups represent some
common or general interest that needs to be defended. They promote collective rather
than selective good.
The members of the organisation may not benefit from the
cause that the organisation represents as they aim to help groups other than
their own members.
For example, a group fighting against child labour not for
itself, but for those children, who are suffering from this menace. The
principal concern of this group is social justice and social equality for all
children.
(b) From the working of public interest groups, I have learnt
the values like cooperation, team spirit and self-reliance.
