The Ideology That Best Describes Me Is Moderately Conservatism

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

I had my boyfriend who is a 20-year-old junior here at TCU take the Ideology Quiz. He expected, like myself, to be moderately conservative, and interestingly enough he also received the same results as I did on my quiz. He like me and 13% of the population is a “Young Outsider.” He also agreed that the exam was very extreme and as he was taking it he said that he felt that it was making him “sound more liberal than conservative.” We differed in some opinions on government performance, social values & race, and Foreign Policy & Privacy. Even within those categories we only differed on one or two questions. So I would say our political ideology is very similar. I also decided to ask my mom to take the quiz just so see how her results differed from mine. Her results were “Steadfast Conservative,” which didn’t surprise me at all. As we talked about in class, usually kids have very similar ideologies as their parents, although that is not always the case. Although I am more conservative than liberal, I believe because of my age and generation I also have some liberal ideologies which is why my mother and I do not have the same

There are three political ideologies that are addressed by Cullen and Gilbert (2012). The first one is the conservative ideology. Conservatives place their main emphasis on traditional values, and tend to have issues when someone tries to change tradition. According to conservatives, maintaining social order is an important way to protect society as a whole. Individuals are on their own when it comes to the ideology of conservatives. They have the assumption that individuals are responsible for their own actions, good or bad. Conservatives will protect innocent citizens, but will focus on the punishment of guilty one rather than rehabilitation.

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.

The main place where I have received my political socialization from is from my family. This is logical because I have been with my family since I was born so I was bound to pick up a lot of there beliefs as the years went by. My family

After taken the political quiz I got the results that I am a centrist. The centrist party beliefs fall between those of liberals and conservative. Am not surprised but, I thought that my results would have been more towards a liberal/libertarian. However, after contemplating the beliefs of a liberal and conservative I'm starting to believe that maybe I am a centrist person because with abortion, for instance, I believe that women should have the rights to what transpires with their body but I oppose the other part that requires the government to utilize taxpayer dollars to provide this coverage. Yes, these classifications accurately describe how I feel because I do like to keep an open mind towards any situation that requires critical thinking

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

Conservatism is described as a political belief with emphasis on traditional values and practices. In the 20th century conservatism exist, but in varying degrees. Some were conservative in specific areas, such as the economy.

Living in the United States some people may forget how closely our political perspectives are to each other relative to those of foreign countries. While there are many political views and stances that an individual might take on any given topic, generally people in the United States fall into one of three categories: liberals, conservatives, and libertarians. Keep in mind that most people will not support all of the ideals of their advocated faction, but they must support the vast majority of them.

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

Political ideology is defined as a certain set of ideals and principles of a person that explain how society should work, and offers some political and cultural plan for social order. Specific opinions and ideals on different subjects are lumped together, which creates groups of people with similar political ideologies called political parties. People feel differently about different issues and those beliefs range from liberal to conservative. Overall, I consider myself a moderate, which is in between liberal and conservative. I feel that I am a moderate because on some issues I agree with a liberal point of view, while on others I agree with a conservative point of view.

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.

Although the connections between religion and politics may be controversial to some, it really isn’t surprising that they overlap. For many people, religion and politics are significant parts of their ideology and morals; they both shape ethical decisions and certainly influence how we view society and the interactions within it. Politics and religion, along with ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation, are important identities that shape how others see us, and how we see ourselves. Thus, it makes sense that religious beliefs may influence a person’s politics or vice versa. While I believe a mix of these identities, and thus personal experiences, has the greatest impact on politics, religion clearly is a significant influence

In the United States, the real gatherings cover vigorously regarding belief system, with the Democrats more to one side and the Republicans more to one side. Social researchers Theodore
