In the United States, people tend to put themselves into two categories; Republican or Democrat and, therefore, conservative or liberal. The typologies given by the Pew Research Center go beyond these two, basic ideologies by keeping typical conservative and liberal ideals intact, but admitting the mixed viewpoints of many Americans. As a registered independent, someone who does not define themselves with the two main parties, I was excited to see exactly where I fall on the political spectrum. What I found was not some profound pinpoint of where I stand, but more of a thinking point that pressured me to identify my typology on my own.
The typology assigned to me after taking the Pew Research Center survey was “Solid Liberal.” People under

Also, the questions on the test only listed only the two extremes for responses. Many of my actual views were more centralized, but I was forced to choose a response with which I did not fully agree. Many of my answers ended up on the left viewpoint, which I imagine may have happened to many of the students in class. As far as my assigned typology fitting in with the class, it does, but the typology I identify with more, “Faith and Family Left,” may be less popular. I am disappointed that our class, and the campus as a whole, does not cater more diverse ideas. It sometimes seems like the school carries a liberal agenda, which can scare more conservative students away from sharing their opinion in fear of being shot down by other students. I have seen this happen as copy editor of The Weather Vane, our student newspaper. Anytime a more conservative opinion article is written, it is inevitable that an additional article will be published to bash the original. My rantings aside, I do not think that the “Faith and Family Left” typology would be a good fit for the country due to its religious aspect. I do believe that faith and politics should not mix. Despite my own values, the “Solid Liberal” typology would be best suited as the defining ideology for the United States. This would not be much different
When I took my first survey Political Typology, it said that I was a strong liberalist, a person that strongly believes that America's success is linked to its ability to change rather than relying on long-standing principles. Liberalists believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace. After taking the second survey it also says that I'm a libertarian, who abdicates maximizing individual rights and then attend the role of the state.
I am going to tell you my Political Ideology in this essay today. I would like to consider myself a Conservative, but the number one thing for me would be what that person said and what they planned on doing. If anything, I don't really care if they are Liberal or Conservative, what really matters is what they are planning on doing, but I guess I'm going to have to decide what I am. A Liberal... Conservative... or Libertarian.
Whereas a strongly conservatives averaged neutral on Ingroup / loyalty statements, while agreeing with fairness / Reciprocity, Harm / Care and Purity / Sanctity and strongly agreeing with Authority / Respect(Graham, Haidt and Nosek 2009).
Page 213/chapter 6: From the quiz, I know I am a Liberal who favored individual initiative and support social and political reform. Knowing a political ideology helps us to learn more about government and politics. Now, I am interested about my political
my school was one of mostly ‘Conservative’ orientation, but with an undercurrent of ‘Liberal’. I
Based on my responses, this quiz placed me into the next generation left which includes people with liberal values. As a person has different political views towards different things, my views are also scattered between democrats and republicans in different prospects. I stand as a democrat while taking the views related to criminal justice and immigration where they are more liberal. In some cases, like the issue of gun control, I am in support of republicans as they strongly oppose the use of guns and hand arms to control the crime.
Both the United States are alike and different. The United States is located in North America, and it is located in the Northern Hemisphere. The population people in Mexico is 130,759,074. In addition, the population of people in the United States is 326,766,748. The United States is 242 years old, established on July 4,1776.
I would say that this is quite an accurate representation of my political ideology. Despite not having all the same views as the majority of this group holds, I deeply align with many of them. For example, this group is slightly more conservative and leans toward the Republican party, but holds the opinions of both parties, which is an accurate assessment. I believe that I am mostly conservative, but I also hold a lot of mixed views espoused by both political parties. The Young outsiders are largely skeptical of activist government, which I believe to be true, which proves the quiz results accurate. Environmental and liberal social policies are also supported by this group, many of which I also support, once again, consistent with my results. This evidence proves that I am consistently aligned as a Young Outsider based upon my own personal views which agrees with the results of the typology
In recent years, homosexuality has become almost fully accepted throughout the United States. But that’s not the case in all communities, it’s become nearly fully accepted in the white community. In the African American community, though it’s looked at as a taboo. The largest community that rejects homosexuals in the African American community is the African American church community. Many African American churches preach as if being gay is an unforgivable sin and is a bad thing. That wouldn’t make any sense, although with my Christian background, I know that the bible says that all sins are forgivable. “I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven” (Mark, 3:28). Knowing this verse and the verse about how people should love
Many people have different opinions on political subjects. The ways a person may feel about these subjects determine what they are in the political world. I personally do not follow politics like other people older than me do, but I do consider myself to be a moderate democrat. Both of my parents are democrats, and they choose to be of this political spectrum because they feel like the Democratic Party represents them. They feel as they stand for policies that will better them as people. With me, I am my own person so I take in the considerations of my parents’ choice, but also make my own decisions. I do believe in some of the policies and ideas of the Democratic Party, but disagree on
After taking the, Political Party Quiz, I checked the results and found out I stand very far to the right on the political spectrum. This surprised me mostly because the majority of my family falls further on the left side. Researching the issues on the quiz soon after I realized that I have been exposed to many of these prior to the quiz. While on some of the issues I had a sure answer, there were quite a few that I hadn’t really ever heard of.
I would be careless if I did not address my poor undergraduate GPA (2.9 on a 4.0 scale) but I firmly believe that my undergraduate grades are not a reflection of my current potential. I was the first in my family to attend to a University and unaware of the importance of a GPA. While attending college and working a full time job I was compromised with so many responsibilities that academically my grades were affected by my lack of experience in balancing things out. As of now, I am certain of my solid work performance and the success I have in my career are perfect indicators of my abilities that demonstrate my potential success in the MD in educational leadership program. I have been teaching for almost three years and have obtained positive
I noticed that while taking this Political Compass test most of my answers were either agree or disagree, very few questions I answered with strongly agree/disagree. For that reason, I believed that my results were more inclined to be on the non-ideological side since my answers were not radical. According to the test, I fall under the Green section that represents the modern liberal and progressive party; however, diagonally I am around three boxes from the center of the graph. In other words, I would be considered non-ideological since I am closer to the middle of the graph rather than on an extreme side of the political compass. Although my results were bit towards the lower left side, I found it accurate to consider myself non-ideological. I am still in the process of learning about economic and social dimensions thus it is too early to label myself especially as a college student.
A population’s views on political issues may change as different circumstances occur each day. The environment around us has a powerful influence on the decisions that we produce and the views that we as American citizens choose to hold. After a semester in political science class my views and my political ideology have altered. Today I will explain how political science class has influenced my political ideology.
Upon entering my first semester at Southern Nazarene University I could not have told you my political ideology. I knew what my opinions, observations, expectations, and ideals were, but did not know the proper ideology that would define them. Through several courses that I have taken, I have become more informed as to the role that I would like to see the government take throughout society as a whole and in the economy. Upon reading the section of ideology in American Government and Politics Today: the Essentials I learned that the correct term for my ideology is right-wing Conservatism. I would like to see the government take action if necessary in the economy, yet let
