Political Ideology : The World Is More Dangerous Than Sincere Ignorance And Conscientious Stupidity

I have not had much interest in politics until recently. Before last year, I did not care for anything related to politics; I thought that it was all boring and had little to no affect on me on a personal level. I am more interested in politics nowadays. I know better now that it does affect me and I should care about it. I had learned about the concepts of political socialization, party identification, political tolerance, political trust, political efficacy in government class and how they affect my political beliefs. My personal political belief has been shaped into what it is today and is still being shaped because of those six concepts.

Finding myself on the political spectrum was rather easy. I would classify myself a centrist or moderate. My views do not completely align with either major ideology and on major issues I'm split between the liberal and conservative sides. One thing that both liberal and conservative ideologies believe in is Democracy. I believe that we must protect democracy at all costs. The rights that democracy affords us a citizens of the United States are unique and require the upmost respect. I hold the liberal view that the government should protect the public safety. I believe the government is responsible to protect its people and act in the publics best interests. Therefore, I also hold the views that gun control and protection of the environment must be enacted and legislated to protect the public. I believe in equal opportunity and access because if you aren't playing on the same starting field how are you expected to move up and succeed. I hold the conservative

Ignorance , when voluntary, is criminal. A human who acts in this manner is just as guilty as the criminal doing the crime. Ignorance can be the will to not learn about certain subjects or choosing not to obtain the good in certain situations. Samuel Johnson is correct in ways, but not in the sense that it is morally wrong. Being close minded is to one’s personal decision and also being prejudice is also one. Choosing these behaviors might be beneficial to one, but also can be cruel to another. Judging before learning is a common mistake most people do. These types of ignorance causes not only dispute, but also leads to the height of the war. Ignorance is a part of human nature, but one is meant to learn from his or her own mistakes. Although

I am going to tell you my Political Ideology in this essay today. I would like to consider myself a Conservative, but the number one thing for me would be what that person said and what they planned on doing. If anything, I don't really care if they are Liberal or Conservative, what really matters is what they are planning on doing, but I guess I'm going to have to decide what I am. A Liberal... Conservative... or Libertarian.

A lot of things have played a role in my personal political socialization. Political ideology is the places where you have informed your beliefs from. The first example of where I get my personal political socialization is from my family. Second I have influence from my location in the U.S.A. Finally I get influence from Narragansett High School which is the school I currently attend. That is where I received my personal political socialization from.

Ignorance is like going through life with shut eyes, unaware and unfamiliar. It is like a foreboding, grey cloud, – the colour of ash and soot – hanging above and blanketing people’s vision. Alternatively, in the world, ignorance has become a fluent trait in the growing population where people live through their lives in ignorant bliss because they do not take time to consider reasoning beyond a normal perspective. Ignorance does not always necessarily refer to one’s knowledge in an academic sense, but more so is one’s understanding of their surroundings and the world. Ignorance often defines and influences choices and ethics, and frequently comes from inaccurate beliefs, lack of consciousness, and misleading information; it will be people’s

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

Through one's life one will go through a process which will instill in one's mind how society should work and from then on forward they'll determine what they feel passionate about through situations which they will encounter. This process is known as political socialization and political ideology. In my life the factors which have influenced me greatly is the education system in which I grew up learning in, my family and mass media.

After reviewing sources about Republican, Democratic, and Independent views on issues that are most important to me, I found that my views are most consistent with the Democratic Party. The issues that most strongly influenced my conclusion are preserving our environment, gun control, and rights for the LGBT community. I feel strongly about combating climate change and building a clean energy economy. Additionally, I regard gun control to be an important matter because there have been too many tragedies caused by lenient gun laws. Finally, I believe in human rights for the LGBT community because they deserve the same rights as all Americans regardless of who they love and who they identify with. Through research of the sources provided

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

Today, I look back to everything that has happened and how did I come to the thoughts and opinions I have about politics. Family was a primary influence in the development of my political orientation, mainly due to constant relationship between my parents and I. Schools became a source to enforce what I been hearing at home. Then Mass Media took over and tried to paint a picture of functions as a political information-giver to adolescents and young children. With placing political figures in everyday life and association with political parties, I can only imagine what their goal was. The earliest

If I had to specifically choose which political party had the most influence on my life and political views I would say it is the Republican Party. The Republican Party supports most of my current views on American issues in the United States. I think its safe to say that I am more Republican than Democrat. Some of the few specific views that I hold that are influenced by Republicans are; I am pro-life, I believe in limiting social welfare to unemployed Americans, I favor a continued military presence in unstable Middle Eastern regions, and I strongly oppose gun control.

Two major political views that society tends to lean toward being are conservative and liberal. Politically speaking, conservatives are defined as people who tend to abide traditional values, while liberals are seen as people who look for change and promote equal rights for all. Personally, I fall on the left side of the political spectrum as a liberal.

Growing up in a very conservative household within an increasingly liberal society, I've had difficulty identifying my own political beliefs. I’ve been taught to pick a side: the left or right. That mindset has always left me torn and confused, but I have discovered that I don’t want to choose. I am a moderate. For me, politics is about my own values and my own ideologies, not whether my values are specifically conservative or liberal. I have a more liberal view on issues such as same-sex marriage, the death penalty, and abortion. And I have more conservative views on taxes, the free market system, and welfare. What I believe should not be swayed by trying to affiliate myself with a particular political party. I don’t fit perfectly into the

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.
