Personal Political Socialization Examples

603 Words3 Pages

Another major political socialization agent that helped me shaped my political opinions were my friends. Many of my best friends are part of the LGBT community and have very strong opinions when it comes to politics. Since I am surrounded with friends most of the time because I am at school most of the day, they have made me realize that it was unfair that they were not able to get married when they wanted to because it was not allowed in most states. All of my friends also vowed not to get married until all the fifty states in America allowed same-sex couples to get married. I supported their decision and agreed because if they are happy, I am happy as well. I understood that if I did not agree with them then we were not going to be friends …show more content…

I also hang out with people who have the same belief as me because they share the same ideas and are very supportive. Many of my friends as well are into politics and say that the more educated you are the easier it is to understand government but people have to have an open mind to change. My friends have had a great influence in me and my participation in government because now I want to participate in government.
Finally, another major political socialization agent that have shaped my political opinion is the media. The media influences range from television shows from celebrities. Television shows like Modern Family are shows that are my favorite. Although they come out on the channel network Fox, and Fox is conservative they still show the show where they have an a same-sex couple who has a child. When Modern Family first showed their episode when the same-sex couple was getting ready to adopted a child, I agreed that they have a right to be able to adopt a child. There are issues on whether same-sex couples should adopt children because if same-sex couples adopt children there is one gender missing and people believe that the child will grow up the same as the parents. I believe that

    740 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Huffington Post article “Why Partisan Voting Makes Accountability Impossible”, Todd Phillips analyzes how social groups and political ideology heightens the response we have toward the candidate that represents our political party. Phillips states that social groups will vote for a candidate because of their loyalty to the political party, and not because of their issue advocacy. This loyalty is emphasized due their attachment to their social group. During times of an election, politicians will have different policies and stances on issues that can be seen as being more liberal or more conservative. However, this does not deter partisans from voting for their a candidate, since their loyalty lies within their attachment to their political

    One example is, “The ideal body demanded by society today corresponds to a slim, well-trained body”(Kiler, Rommerskirchen, and Brixius). The media enforces ideas upon society and makes people think that a standard must be set for something. This negatively impacts the people that don’t conform to the standards that the media gives society because society shuns them for not meeting those standards. Another example is how “there are often non-scientific and inaccurate statements behind Fitspiration-related posts”(Kiler, Rommerskirchen, and Brixius). There are often posts on the media that trick people into believing an idea; even if that product or idea has no real backing and is incorrect.

    I met people from many different backgrounds, but the fact that we all suddenly had a common identity meant that we could put our backgrounds aside. I joined the party platforming committee for my assigned political party, the Federalists, and while I enjoyed setting up the positions that our Presidential candidates would have to argue during debates, what was more interesting to see was the general sense of respect. If people within our party had opposing ideas of what we should stand for, the result was not heated arguments and resentment. Given the had little time to achieve our goal, we knew that trying to start disputes simply was not an option. We had to be pragmatic.

  • Political Typology Analysis

    513 Words  | 3 Pages

    I believe that education is important and is key to success, but I don't consider myself to be very politically engaged. I feel that my personality favors direct change rather that indirect change that takes a long time, which is how I see politics. The belief that I do agree with is being open to different opinions and advocating for everyone's safety. I also think that the current economic system is unfair and favors the wealthy people and can be very bias, but I also do not put total blame on the economy and believe that people are also responsible for where they get because hard work and determination are important to achieve not just your dreams, but also, your status. There is definitely economic inequality in the country, and this is caused by a mix of both factors of the current economic system and people's choices in life.

    1098 Words  | 5 Pages

    To choose one example, one can examine the relationship between Hoover and Truman. While they belonged to different political parties, both were Protestant Christians - Truman Baptist and Hoover Quaker. Their religious upbringings seemingly contributed to their both being Wilsonian idealists; Wilsonianism is an ideology advocated by former president Woodrow Wilson that is centered on an active pursual of peace via the rise of democracy. Thus, due to this parallel, it is easy to see why they united to stop a famine in Europe - it was to prevent the spread of communism. The importance of political socialization in presidential relationships is further underscored by the relationship between Carter and Clinton.
