As society rapidly changes with an influx of new ideas and issues, studying the college educated and those who are not will help evaluate behaviors and attitudes towards the government, ultimately, clearing the way to adaption into a modern society that perhaps offer remedies of educational and voting discrepancies or even close the gaps between political ideology or identification. Hence, this paper proposes the research question: How does education level influence political party identification.

Public opinion plays a huge role in the development of democracy. “A society is unlikely to maintain democratic institutions over the long term, unless democracy has solid support among the public” (Andersen 2012). Most research on the issue demonstrates a positive link between economic development and support for democracy(Andersen 2012). Some researchers also consider social trust (Putnam 1993) and social tolerance (Andersen and Fetner 2008) to be a major factor of support of democracy. Most Americans see unequal economy as a result of individuals work ethics and talent rather then a flaw in the economic system. However, most Americans accept inequality because they believe everyone has the same chances in life to make the best. A properly running government is supposed to make positive that all the citizen are equal. By believing in equal democratic rights Americans support everyone citizen having the same level of equality and the same equal voice in representative government. Since citizens don’t feel that they can trust the government to create and equal ground for all they are much less likely to be involve and participate in political field. Concerned citizens have the right to be worried about the health of our democracy. It seems that the government resounds more often and effectively to the more privileged group in society then to needs of the

a. The sample size of this poll is 1,125 adults and was limited to those that reside in the United States. The margin of error is +/- 2.9 percentage points. Most political science research embraces the 95% level of confidence (Damore

Keeping this in mind, we must understand that this only tells half the story. In order to expand upon the ideas introduced in prior research, a quantitative element should be added. By doing this, we add a level of validity to the existing research while answering questions in the political science community that could be extremely valuable to

The last of the study’s research questions is to find out “Demographically, who has no confidence in the federal government?” Demographic categories investigated include religion, race, education, sex, and age. Sociologists believe that those who are religiously involved and have liberal religious beliefs have a higher level of political participation and therefore a higher confidence in federal government (Brady, 1989). More specifically, “the closer a person is to a church, the more likely they are to support the political authorities” (Hoffman, 1985).

β0 is a constant and β1- β8 are coefficient parameters to be estimated. The priori expectation signs of the parameters are β1 = β2 = β3 = β4 = β5 = β6 > 0 i.e. all the independent/explanatory variables are projected to have positive force on the dependent/endogenous variable.

This trust paper explores the 2013 United States Federal Government shutdown incident along with the trust theory as it relates to this issue. The more recent shutdown was contributed to the split party lines and Congress resisting to pass a budget with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in place. Trust between government and constituents have been a long struggle as public servants work to build trust after an issue like the Federal Government shutdown occurs. The research provided in the paper analyzes theories on the reasons for the lack of trust and how public servants can build trust. Not only does trust involve the political environment

Throughout history, the American people have had a hard time instilling trust in their government and political leaders. Between the numerous scandals involving United States presidents and other political leaders and the dozens of conspiracy theories encompassing the United States government, it is no wonder why the American people have lost trust in their government, and why the United States has become the laughing stock of foreign countries. The 2016 presidential election was arguably the most controversial election in American history; many voters felt that neither of the candidates could be trusted due to their questionable actions. Numerous Americans were outraged when current U.S. president, Donald J. Trump, was sworn into office; due

In this study, I’m focusing on the correlation of voters’ behaviors about the Liberal party of Canada in the 2015 election. The relationship between Justin Trudeau and the party and what effects to gain more votes, pros and cons, the strengths and the weaknesses among different group of the voters. I did comparisons between the main three Canadian parties (Liberal, Conservative, NDP) and did a research report to help to understand the correlates of their support. This research provides an overview of my study’s finding. I did a statistical analysis about the mean, median, standard deviation, the lower and upper mean, how males and females behave about the party, the income correlations, linear, nonlinear, monotonic and non-monotonic relationship, null and alternative hypothesis and many more.

The public trust in government has declined over the years, and now the people think they can do little to influence the government actions. According to the book We the people by Benjamin Ginsberg, in 2013 only 19 percent of americans reported trusting the government with their decisions in Washington. On the contrary, compare to 1960s and 1970s americans had a lot of more respect and trust for the american government due to the fact that the government did what was best for the people. But now, the trust that his great nation once had has been declining in a

An important relationship exists between confidence in government and social trust which can be linked to public goods provision (Newton & Norris, Confidence in Public Institutions: Faith, Culture or Performance?, 1999). Social trust is broadly defined as trusting in others and can refer to both individuals and higher levels of analysis. Netwon & Norris found that social trust is not strongly associated with measure of public confidence at the individual level and personality types or cultural factors may be more significant at this level. However, at the national level there is a significant relationship between social trust and public confidence. The relationship is that social trust and high public confidence are highly

Approval of government officials varies a lot depending on what is happening in the world around us. It does not only take place in between presidencies but during their time as the elected official as well. A lot of things can determine what goes into the trust of government officials. There has been evidence that proves that as you get older, your trust in the government decreases as well. I believe that based on the age that we live in, with all the knowledge we have access to and the state of the economy we have been living in that overall the trust in government has decreased, yet the people of America still hold on hope for a better future. The interviewer talks about a trend in Americans, we tend to lose trust in government as we get

In order to verify the validity of the correlation between the concepts derived from the factor analysis, correlation analysis was conducted. As shown in Table.16, the correlation between Pearson’s correlation coefficients was significant at p <0.05, as well as the relations between concepts were positive (+). Thus, all the variables have a meaningful relationship. Furthermore, it is found that the relationship of all measured variables is consistent with the relationship between the concepts presented in the research model and hypotheses. Consequently, it can be concluded that the direction of the relationship between the variables presented in the research model and the set hypotheses is in agreement with each

In order to analyse the effect of a prerequisite for a deliberative democracy, more specifically the degree to which an individual identify oneself with understanding different people on trust in the European Parliament, multilevel modelling is applied to the ESS data set. Level 1 is individuals nested within region-years at level 2, which are again nested within regions at level 3. The data structure takes shape as shown in FIGURE XX.
