The Importance Of Being A Conservative Lens

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

Most of the people in America identify themselves as moderate or they do not know if they are conservative or liberal (Magleby 103). I would rank myself as a liberal on the seven-point-identification scale because from what I know of conservatives, their beliefs clash with mine. According to the political surveys that we took in government class, I am a strong liberal. I have always been against conservative views for as long as I can remember; my family, especially my very conservative cousin that mentioned earlier, did not like that I did not conform to certain roles and scolded me for it, thus, resulting in my resentment of conservatives and conservative views. As I grew older, I noticed that I had unconsciously leaned more towards conservative views as a child because I wanted to fit in and not be the outlier in my family; now though, I can clearly see the faulty logic that my family holds and that it is alright for me to have my own

When analyzing 1984 through a critical lens, a reader may be able to look through the historical lens to understand what was happening in the world around the author and how it influenced their writing. There are quite a few things that helped Orwell write this masterpiece of a novel, and a lot of it can stem back to the historical period as to which 1984 was written.

In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

In the process of writing, regardless of the form it takes, thesis or narrative for example, the purpose of the piece has several lenses that shape how the reader perceives the material. Of the less important lenses that shape the piece, mood, word choice, and rhetoric are only a few. These elements of the work, while minimal in a relative sense, accomplish the same as other, more important components, they influence how the reader perceives the material, how it is understood. If one is to effectively convey the message of the piece, one must first look at how the any reader perceives any text. This idea of how the reader perceives is a culmination of all the devices employed by the author. The idea is for the author to craft an aggregate

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

Just as parents influence their children to learn a second language, I was raised to learn the language of politics. I soon became intrigued about our democracy and learned about our political system on the media, in school, and from my parents. After learning both sides of politics and obviously being influenced by my parents, I choose to be associated with the political right’s beliefs. To this day, I have strong opinions on immigration policies, the second amendment, healthcare, foreign policy, and many other issues. On the other hand, there is one issue that makes

I was born and raised in Washington D.C and it’s always diverse here. Beng in D.C means there are a humongous range of opinions. There are people with different political ideologies and I so happen to be more so of a liberal. A liberal is someone who is usually open minded , i'm willing to break traditional values. I would say the reason I am more of a liberal because living in dc you have to be able to pay attention to the world around you whether it's crime or politics , being that we are the capital of The U.S. On another note,.the internet is so easy to access now and i i feel like it has shaped my political ideology. There is so much diversity and interesting information on social media that you have no choice to be constantly exposed to different ideas. I would correlate this to being a Free Range Democrat. I've attended protest, i do believe that war on terrors have interfered with individuals privacy and that racial discrimination is overwhelming, etc.

I have always been interested in politics, and I personally believe that every American citizen should participate in politics and have at least a basic knowledge about politics. The Pew typology quiz classified me as a Steadfast Conservative. I was not surprised at all to my classification. As a child growing up in a Conservative family, I was taught to love and have respect for my country, to support traditional American values, to believe that religion plays an important role in my life and to protect gun rights and support the U.S. military. Now as an adult, I still hold those same Conservative

While growing up around children and adults of all races, I was raised to believe that all races are to be treated equally. This has molded me to become an understanding and friendly person to be around all races. As I grew and learned more about race, I realized that my family did a great job adapting me to the world concerning race as race became irrelevant to me. Race was not, and is not, a divisive factor for me so much as privilege was, however.

I think what has also contributed to my political views is that I have a stay at home dad, doctor mom, and Sudanese family members.

I think my personal political beliefs can best be described from a quote by my dad, “Olivia is a liberal.” I’m only just in high school, and I’m still forming opinions and learning about politics, but I think it’s safe to say I am liberal as well as Democratic. Technically liberal basically means wanting change to happen fast, and for me, this is very true. A sizable amount of my beliefs are focused on equality. Some of my views include, gun control, cameras and other police regulations, pro-choice, higher minimum wage, and more taxes on richer people, lower college tuition, and equal gender pay (especially for people of color who are paid even less than white women). I just feel so strongly for those that are discriminated against, and feel a sense of duty to help. I also believe that everyone deserves a choice in what happens to their body I personally am a feminist and wish that everyone was, but this is sadly not the case, and therefore I try my best to voice my opinions to hopefully convince others to join in a cause towards equality. I also stand against racial inequality, which is still, unfortunately, here. I have to admit that I get scared to voice my beliefs in fear of harsh retaliation, but I know that voices make a

Each social class sees people outside of their social class as “others” so their lenses change from who are like them and who are “others.” But also, personality factors in forming your lenses. If you are stubborn and not open to change, your lenses take the same view as you. While you are open to a change of yourself and others, your lenses change with you.

I was raised in a diverse environment. Being multiracial- Asian and Hispanic- and going to a school with predominantly minorities has shown me the difficulties that come with it. Minorities often face disadvantages because they have been discriminated against for centuries. Despite what any statistic may say, I believe that minorities are just as capable of making something of themselves. The culturally enriched school that I go to has vividly depicted this to me, allowing me to cross paths with some of the most brilliant students I have ever met. Being raised in an environment where students prove to be more than a statistic on a daily basis has fueled my interest in civil rights, a topic dear to me that I would like to see change in.

One aspect of my life that has shaped my political views is my religious background. I grew up in a Baptist family, and used to go to church regularly. As I got older, I started going to church less and less because the things my pastor said made me feel very uncomfortable. At the time, I did not understand why I felt so uncomfortable and it was not until I got older that I realized why I felt the way I did. Majority of the time, my pastor said things that had sexist and homophobic undertones. Despite being in a holy place, I spent the duration of my time as a member of the church feeling disconnected from everything, which eventually led to me breaking ties with the church completely.
