I-Side-With Test

I’ve never really thought or cared about where I stand in politics, but after taking the two surveys the results were pretty interesting. I was able to see where I stand in politics, and find it agreeable to my own personal beliefs

The main place where I have received my political socialization from is from my family. This is logical because I have been with my family since I was born so I was bound to pick up a lot of there beliefs as the years went by. My family

Bernie Sanders is a very progressive candidate compared to other candidates and to the U.S. public’s BPI(Bing Political Index compares presidential candidates’ public

It is very important to be aware of what is going on in the world however sometimes reading can be a better source or information than watching bias television broadcasts. I believe that if children have to develop their own political opinion at a young age then they will attain values and beliefs that are more logical. I had structure growing up as a kid and was directed to what was right and wrong but I was not born into a political dictatorship. My parents were caring people and emphasized that treating others with respect is more important than following some indoctrinated code. I am fortunate to have been given the freedom to develop my own social and political views. Having political guidance from family is important but being told that only one particular political belief system is infallible is not the ideal way to educate. My parents have always preached equality, and that all people should have equal opportunity to pursue their goals despite their religion, race, ethnic background or sexual orientation. At a young age I was taught to recognize that all Americans have an equal opportunity to aspire to an education regardless of their economic condition. My parents were a large influence of how I view freedom of speech. They emphasized that all individuals have the right to express their opinions and advocate their personal beliefs. One of the key political concepts that I was born into was to fight for a clean environment. The environment must be protected and

My understanding of politics and government prior to taking American Government came from my family and their beliefs. It was influenced by the schools I attended, which influenced my respect for this country, and my respect for our flag. They ingrained a sense of patriotism with their teachings. Television and newspapers had a big influence on me in my younger

One interesting find is the theory that we are more susceptible to simple statements at a younger age. These are statements such as broad generalizations and talking points that we hear from people around us. Some examples of these could be “liberals only want to tax people” or “conservatives are very selfish”. Many college students admit that they learn a lot about politics from their families and the media. This has a lot to do where family members and media are located in the United States most of the time. Location is also another

I have a small family which consists of my mother and father and two younger brothers. No other relatives, just us five .My family isn't very outspoken to society as a whole. We stick to speaking to each other. But when necessary, we will speak out to society in order to voice our opinions. As a result, my family is very conservative, which I feel has played a major role in the political socialization which I have developed. Growing up my parents didn’t speak politics directly to me but instead the remarks which they made around the kitchen table or around me greatly showed me my parent’s beliefs. Growing up hearing your parents speak on certain issues such as taxes and what they find morally wrong those type of things give you a lifelong guideline on how your own beliefs will turn out, although not always the case most of the time this will be correct. My parents have influenced me a lot in this aspect of my political ideology from the way I feel about abortions being legal to what I believe about the republican party and especially my stance on immigration. My mother has always told me nothing in life will ever be handed to you. You have to work for what you want. This ideology has greatly influenced my work

Then my junior year of high school is when my beliefs and opinions started to take shape. I became extremely fascinated with politics and landed my first internship with republican State Senator Guy Reschenthaler. I have realized that younger generations follow in the footsteps of their parents in political views but I was different, my parents are both democrats and I am a republican.

Next, I would identify myself as a Democratic, as well as thirty-two percent of the rest of the nation. I believed my party identification of being a Democratic was formed by the influence of my family. Since all over my family is Democratic I grow-up believing in certain Democratic characteristic such as be liberal, equal rights for men and woman especially when it deals with wages and educations, also in pro-choice. I believe my party identification is strong, however since I’m older I think I base my identity on what political candidate or politician has the values that are aligned for my best interests; meaning they are subject to change know that I understand politicas more. Based off the results from the poll I would

Today, I look back to everything that has happened and how did I come to the thoughts and opinions I have about politics. Family was a primary influence in the development of my political orientation, mainly due to constant relationship between my parents and I. Schools became a source to enforce what I been hearing at home. Then Mass Media took over and tried to paint a picture of functions as a political information-giver to adolescents and young children. With placing political figures in everyday life and association with political parties, I can only imagine what their goal was. The earliest

The Pew Report Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology recognizes three groups as “Partisan Anchors,” meaning that they demonstrate consistent voting affinity towards one party. These groups have been identified as Steadfast Conservatives, Business Conservatives, and Solid Liberals. Both conservative groups consistently vote Republican while the Solid Liberals vote Democratic. These groups tend to be the most polarized, and represent the demographics that will vote in line with traditional Democratic and Republican views. It would be foolish for Clinton’s campaign to devote resources to appeal to conservative demographics that directly oppose the majority of her policies – therefore the only viable typology for the Democratic coalition is the Solid Liberals. It is worth noting that the majority Solid Liberals agree with the vast majority of Clinton’s policies, therefore

The political socialization in developing my thoughts by watching television and social media and talking to my peers played a significant role when putting together what I believed about politics in some way It push me to believe what the media were talking about the candidate

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

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.

Growing up, my family had always been strictly Democratic with a conservative view here and there and it surely has influenced my political stance. Not only that but being a Democrat to me means being a humanitarian and genuinely having hope for the future of America and all its
