im fairly sure there is only 5
doubt you'd need to know all 5, but its good if you do so you'll be fine.

The guy at the lecture i went to gave us all notes, and under this party of the study design he wrote 'know three reasons why laws may need to change + have an example for each'.
Hopefully he knows what he's talking about, so knowing 3-5 sounds good.

Oops, disregard what i said, i thought you confused methods of influencing change with needs for change.

Anyway, my teacher told me that if the study design is written like that, it means on the exam they can ask a general question about how individuals can influence changes, however, it can also specifically ask a question solely on petitions, demonstrations and use of the media.
