I have always been interested in politics and how they work. Politics are interesting to me because I find it as a possible area I could work in. Mostly my parents and grandparents have influenced my view on government. Also, a few of my friends’ parents have influenced my views on government because they have stressed their opinions to me and I mostly agree with those opinions. Before this unit, I was pretty unsure of where I resided politically and who I wanted to vote for.
On the political spectrum, I am a “next generation left”. One reason I am a next generation left is because I agree with the key beliefs of a “next generation left.” Another reason I believe I am a “next generation left” is because the policies that next generation lefts

One reason is because I have taken multiple quizzes and every time the results come out differently. Another reason is because I share beliefs of both parties and am undecided on certain issues. The issues include favoring world peace, the US should be more dominant in trade and that the government should support the common man. An issue that I am undecided about is the purpose of our government and I go back and forth on this issue.
If I had to vote for president, I would vote for Hillary Clinton for multiple reasons. One reason is because I like her views on the environment and energy because I agree that we need to decrease pollution and we need to find a better energy source. I also like Clinton’s view on national security because she wants to do more in depth background checks. Some of the down sides of Clinton is that her views on jobs and taxes don’t really make sense to me. Overall, I think she is the better candidate for the four and I would vote for her.
Although I feel very strongly on some of the issues I wrote about, I’m sure my view on most of these issues and parties will soon change as I grow up. Politics are ever changing, meaning people's views of the government will also
The story The Most Dangerous Game is a short story that portrays terror and fear, a sense of danger, and also the hatred that animals feel for their killer at the same time as making a contemporary correlation to real life. The short story was written during the era when animal hunting was common with the rich folks. The Most Dangerous Game as the name implies, is indeed a dangerous game.
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
I fell in love with politics at the age of 10, the year was 2004, and I liked John Kerry because he shared my name. I also supported him because my father, at the time, was supporting George W. Bush and I was a rather antagonistic child. Over time I’ve certainly become more nuanced in the candidates I support, but that year began a lifetime journey into a field that is ever changing, ever competitive, and that impacts so many lives.
Although history makes Nathaniel Bacon seem as he is doing wrong by rebelling, it is important to get the full picture of what really happened. The author writes about Nathaniel Bacon’s Rebellion and the aftermath of what happened afterwards. In both of these accounts, the author shows that the colonists and the king fail to see the full picture of the events that occurred. If the king would have seen both side’s equally, then Nathaniel Bacon wouldn’t have been in the wrong for his actions. This also would be true when the Virginian’s were afraid of a massive attack that never took place and was made up. They were deceived just as the king was when he read Berkley’s accounts of the events that took place.
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
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
What I found fascinating is when it came to economic issues I leaded towards republicans but when it came to social issues I was definitely the average democrat, overall I was considered a independent on, “Where Do You Fit? The Political Party Quiz” Which I think makes a lot of sense on the social side because there was a statement over abortion and I believe that in some cases it should be allowed for example if a woman is raped she should be able to have that choice if she would like to carry the baby. Another examples is adult choice I believe anyone should marry whomever he or she pleases why should the government stop you from loving who you want to love. I believe we live in a world today that is nothing as it was many centuries ago its time to let go of the past and focus on today. But then when it came to a statement that stated, “the government should help more needy people even if
Based on the political quiz that evaluated my stances on certain issues, my political beliefs and interests aligned with Centrist ideology, although slightly leaning to the Left Wing. Despite my upbringing as a strong Republican, the results classifying me as a Centrist did not shock me due the simple fact of maturation and growing more aware of current world and local issues through watching the morning news, reading news articles on the internet or reading The New York Times, and going to high school. Overtime, with these various exposures- a wide variety of political beliefs- I stopped relying on what I just knew from being around my family and hearing only their bias opinions, and instead began analyzing at what I personally believe and
Throughout my life, my beliefs, values, and opinions have been shaped by both my life experiences and those close to me. 18 years is a long period of time, I’ve watched many commercials, watching the presidential campaigns change over the years. Nowadays, it’s become more vibrant for me and I’ve become more interested in the debates they have. My parents, friends, teachers, and the media are just a few things that have impacted me and the decision I took in becoming who I am.
Over the years my thoughts and views about many topics, ranging from life and death to politics, have shifted. Growing up I took on the political
Nonetheless, in the future when I am married and have children I am certain that I will hold stronger opinions in regards to economic globalization and the importance of corporation regulations. I believe that once you start a career and have a family your priorities shift and life experiences help shape your political ideologies. Though, I do hold views about the world, economy, personal social values, and society it
There are many influences on my political beliefs and actions. There are four main areas define who I am politically. Those areas are the Environment, Agents of Political Socialization, Personal Characteristics, Personality and Human Nature.
As we creep into a more modern civilization, women’s role in society is rightfully evolving. No longer are women known as solely housekeepers, but are recognized as the intellectual and powerful beings they truly are. In Susan Glaspell’s short story “Trifles”, it is inherently clear that women are to be seen and not heard, which is not uncommon for the timeframe in which it was written. The women in the story “Trifles” are subject to male inferiority, psychological damage, and are considered as second class citizens.
I went into Government class thinking I knew a lot about government. I quickly figured out there was a lot I had to learn. I am very glad I was required to take this class because without taking it, how would I know how everything works or know how I am affected by the government? My beliefs didn’t change nor did the political party I identify myself with but I have a much better understanding about what goes on in our Country. I learned much more than I thought I would learn, from the ways someone can become president, to how a bill becomes a law, to who were considered to be the best presidents.
My political views have been influences in different ways as I’ve grown up. I believe what has influenced me today is school and my surroundings.
