Many quizzes can be found to decipher political identity like Pew Research Center’s Political Typology Quiz, PBS Newshour’s The Political Party Test, and the I Side With Presidential Candidates quiz found on isidewith.com. Some may have entered into the quizzes with their political identity already deciphered or with no idea what the result would be. However, some like I may have had an inclination towards one view, but not realizing just how much or little they fit into its category. The quizzes taken asked questions in which one’s answers were then taken and analyzed to place them in a certain political category. In most quizzes, once that political identity is deciphered it is explained and elaborated on so that the reader knows in detail …show more content…
This quiz took into consideration the answers I supplied to many different questions and compared those answers to what the current Presidential Candidates would state as their answers. I agree with this quiz as I already had an educated idea of which candidates I was leaning towards if I were capable of voting. Many of the answers I gave matched up with democratic candidates with few similarities to the large amount of conservative candidates. This quiz informs people about their similarities with the potential leaders of this country and can help them determine which people to consider voting …show more content…
The popular democratic view on sexual orientation is that it should never be something that someone is discriminated or declined rights for. No matter how small the rights may seem nobody should be declined that right because of their natural attraction to the opposite sex or both sexes, the need to be the opposite gender, gender fluid, no gender identification, having no sexual attraction to either sex, and so on. Sexual orientation is not a thing that can be chosen and many conservative peoples argue this fact. The idea that conservatives base their defiance towards homosexuals is the idea that parents of the same sex cannot raise a child in the way that parents of opposite sex could. This conservative idea is rational, but simply not true as the American Psychological Association states the “psychological and social aspects” between homosexual and heterosexual relations are very similar and make both equally fit to care for a child. Many conservatives see anything other than being attracted to the opposite sex a sin because of arguable biblical textual aspects. Biblical references are interoperated in accordance to one’s individualistic ideas and cannot be used as concrete evidence in any situation. There are points to the popular consensus among conservatives that peoples of sexual orientation other than between man and women are not considered
Many young people not being informed about and actively participating in politics, or simply adopt their parents political ideologies. For this reason, I felt that taking this Political Spectrum Analysis Quiz in class was spurred political and self awareness in the majority of the class. Due to this quiz touching on both existing economic and social issues, I feel like it brought specific a single answer. The Political Spectrum Analysis Quiz deemed me a liberal.
Politics is the activities that relate to influencing the actions and policies of a government. Many people in the United States choose not to identify with either political party, the Democrats and the Republicans. However, based on the response I got from the Political Typology test, I fit in with the New Coalition Democrats. A New Coalition Democrat is very extremely religious and is financially stressed.
Citizens of today’s society are convinced that they are divided tremendously. That the Republicans are so far right on the spectrum and that the Democrats are so far left on the spectrum that it is impossible for both parties to come to an agreement on any type of issue. If citizens dig deeper into the political world, they will find that there is not much of a difference between the two parties as they think. My job is to uncover what you may not know about politics, and have you see the opposing party 's view on the issues
When debating the legalization of same sex marriage, religious reasoning and accusations of bigotry often provoke obstinance. Instead of reiterating those arguments, William J. Bennett, a prominent cultural conservative, former secretary of education, and author of The Book of Virtues, focuses on societal effects in his op-ed article, “Against Gay Marriage.” Though Bennett’s piece conveys partiality, it also attempts to discuss this issue scrupulously to ensure readers will consider his argument and perhaps accept his implications. While some of Bennett’s word choices convey tolerance of the gay community, his rhetoric incites readers to accept that preserving society requires marginalizing homosexuals.
The presidential election is around the corner and the people of this nation have a very important job to stay updated and willing to compromise. Watching campaigns and keeping up with the race is only a small task. Soon an individual will be asked to form a stern decision and cast a very vital vote. This will give a candidate the key to our future. Of those running in the election, the democratic candidates share similar beliefs and concerns with a portion United States citizens, no matter their economic status.
As the United States gets ready to enter into another election year, each party is gearing up and raising money for their political campaigns. Numerous polls will take place and questions as well as platforms will come together in an effort to get the publics endorsement and hopefully their vote. It is important to understand why money and polls play a vital role in the American political system. It is equally important to look at certain aspects of issues that have plagued Congress such as the government shutdown and the debt ceiling crisis and how each of these aspects shape the political arena and what needs to be done in the future to preserve our way of life.
Some religious conservatives feel that they have all this religion, they read the bible, but they still treat other human beings with different values and morals other than their own so horribly. Many people were raised in the church all of their childhood lives and teenage years. Their families and the church taught them the same thing through their religions that homosexuality was wrong. At one time in their lives they had the fear of homosexuals that they were
But the most interesting thing that i was able to conclude from my day at the polls, was the overwhelming majority that had equally bad things to say about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. This majority opinion was highlighted in one quote from one of the voters “They both are flawed candidates, and honestly they cancel out each other so i 'm really just voting on the issues”. These results point to the majority of people voted on the issues, and partisan views rather than the candidates themselves. Martin P. Wattenberg backs up this claim in his article “The Declining Relevance of Candidate Personal Attributes in Presidential Elections””The analysis in this article demonstrates that the personal attributes of the presidential candidates have become less and less relevant to the outcome of presidential elections in recent years. Substantially fewer voters are mentioning the personal characteristics of the candidates when asked what they like and dislike about them.

An accomplished writer and an open homosexual, Andrew Sullivan wrote his best known work speaking for the struggles and social oppritunnitues of homosexuas in a heterosexual based cuture. His best known work was Virtually Normal: An argument about Homosexuality. This work was directed to a conservative audience, as one can sense the defensiveness as he writes about his own experiences with homosexuality, where he uses rhetoric to address the needs and subculture of homosexuality.
Political Opportunity Structure Political opportunity structure majorly explains linkage between political environment and social movement. Meanwhile, POS admits influences of resources and grievance. The major argument of POS is political structure decides social movements' fates. McAdam concluded four major dimensions of POS theory: openness of institutional structure, division and alliance from elite groups and state power for repression. (1996, p27)
Liberals support same-sex marriage and argue that love is grounds enough for marriage, regardless of sexual orientation. Conservatives are usually opposed and often cite religious viewpoints and concerns about the reading of children as the main reasons for their opposition. In the 1970s the court case Baker v. Nelson occurred. It was a case in which the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a state law limiting marriage to persons of the opposite sex did not violate the U.S. Constitution. On June 26, 2015 the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
Put all these together and they tell the story of political ideology. [1]
After doing this assignment I have learned a lot more political terms and definitions. I now know what more or less liberal means and more about what conservative means. When I was taking the quizzes I didn't understand a lot of the terms so I had to look them up. By having to look them up I learned some more new terms. One of the quizzes we took determined your political ideology by asking you if you prefer cats or what computer software you use.
How are the political views of people influenced by their backgrounds? After the presidential elections in 2014, 41% of Americans identified themselves as democrats, while 42% identified as republicans (Jones, 2016). Political socialization is defined as “the process by which people acquire political beliefs and values” (Bardes, 2016). For instance, some people form political opinions based on their social status, economic status, family, age, race, education, social media etc. Indeed, political socialization influences the formation of public opinion through many factors, with education being one of the most important aspects in the process.
