Political Socialization Family My family has played a big role in my political views. My parents are both registered Republicans and in the most recent presidential election my dad voted Trump even though he didn't like him very much. He said that Trump was the lesser of the two evils. My mom voted McMullin mostly because she couldn't bring herself to vote for Trump. Voting for Hillary was out of the question for both my parents for various different reasons. We speak about politics a fair amount, probably around once or twice a week. Them both being Republicans has, I’m sure, influenced me to be biased toward being Republican. However, I have evaluated both the Republican and Democrat parties and personally feel more aligned with the views proffered by the Republican party. 2. Religion …show more content…

Gender Since I am boy and have never felt at a disadvantage in society like some girls say they experience, I am not a feminist, which typically is associated with Democrats. In recent times girls are more likely to be more left-wing than males. 4. Schooling and Information I have done all my schooling thus far in Utah county, which is one of the most Republican counties in one of the most republican states in America. I have been, therefore, surrounded by Republicans since I was a child. I have, off the top of my head, only two or three friends that are firmly liberal. In addition, most of my teachers in middle and high school have been Republican, giving their lessons a subtle, possibly unconscious bias. 5. Social Class We are a very middle class family. My dad is a high school teacher and my mom stays at home and takes care of my little siblings. As I’m sure Mr. Morrell knows, teachers aren't paid a ton. Luckily, my parents are very smart with money and we get by comfortably. If we were lower class I’m sure sure I’d be more likely to be Democrats, as the left is more motivated to take care of all in poverty and very generous with welfare. 6. Race and

The change in correlation between 1968 and the 1980 primaries show how dramatically the parties had become ideologically sorted by that time. In 1964 there were likely conservatives and moderates who were turned off by Goldwater’s campaign and rhetoric, or persuaded by Lyndon Johnson’s campaign and his status as Kennedy’s successor. 1968 is likely an outlier due to George Wallace’s campaign, which while it might have been closer ideologically to some non-southern conservative voters then Nixon’s campaign, his predicted share based on ideology was weighed down by his lack of a campaign outside of the South and by distaste for his open racism. In 1972 moderates defecting to Nixon due to McGovern’s poor campaign likely also weighed down the

In general, those who identified as Republican or Democrat or had leanings to one side or the other in the 2016 election voted for that party’s presidential candidate regardless of whether or not they actually liked that candidate in particular with very few exceptions. Some viewed this kind of extreme partisanship as new and as something that made the 2016 election even more unusual than the media was already claiming it to be. However, the election of 1800 also showed an extreme amount of partisanship, indeed probably the first of its like. In that election, every state that was solidly Federalist or solidly Democratic-Republican voted accordingly, with the few swing states deciding the election, though their votes were really decided sometimes months before the election due to the nature of the electoral system at the time; the congressional elections of the “swing states” during the election year were what really decided the states’ electoral votes since the methods of choosing electors for the electoral college from each state was controlled by each state’s congress. Similarly in the 2016 election, all of the solidly Republican states and all of the solidly Democratic states voted accordingly with only a few swing states deciding the election.

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.

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life” (Buddha). Throughout different time periods religion has impacted the society in which people live. Religion has and continues to dictate the rules citizens have to follow in all areas, especially social, educational, and political. Religion influences morals, values, and people’s identities. Many people turn to religion for not just spiritual answers, but for guidance and help in everyday life.

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.

My mother is much more Democratic than my father is. My dad, although he is Jewish, is more economically Republican than my mom is. My mom is a stay-at-home mom who did not grow up with much money, while my dad grew up much richer and works for the world’s second largest life insurance company in the world. He is much more focused on economic issues than social issues, unlike my mother who is more focused on education and equal opportunity for all, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, race, and other characteristics out of one’s control. I am also bothered by a point made by Jackie Calmes in the article “Democrats try Wooing Ones Who Got Away: White Men”.
