Party identification is something that many people have, because everyone has their own beliefs, including me. Party identification is what party we consider ourselves to align with politically. I consider myself part of the Democratic Party. There is only one reason for me to consider this as my political identification and that is because of my family. My family believes with what the democrats offer their constituents. Democrats are against gun regulations and are for abortions because women should be able to do whatever they want with their body. While the Republicans are against abortions and for guns. These are two examples out of many from two of these political parties. My party identification is influenced heavily by my family, and

  • I Am Centerville, Neither Republican nor Democrat

    1152 Words  | 3 Pages

    When it comes to my political beliefs, I am indecisive between being a Republican or a Democrat. The reason for this, is because I never really showed enough interest into learning more about politics. As for my politically ideology, I feel that I am more liberal than I am conservative. In theory, ideology is defined in two ways, “(1) Organized set of political attitudes based on underlying principles”, and “(2) a cohesive set of beliefs that form a general philosophy about the role of government” (McAtee). An Individual’s political ideology can be formed from public opinions and agents of socializations (McAtee). According to the quiz I took on “Politopia.com”, the results showed that I was “Centerville”, which means that I am in between of being a Democrat or a Republican, or that I support both sides and yet oppose to both sides.

    Millions of citizens around the United States, at some point in their lifetime, obtain a political ideology. Typically, their political values are influenced by their parents. Political scientists have identified that around age eleven, children begin to develop political opinion. According to Wilson’s, American Government: Institutions and Policies, 91% of a high school senior class indentified with the same party as their parents (American Government 158).

  • Counter Culture Effects on Party Identification

    699 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this paper I test whether the counter culture movement had an affect on party identification for young Americans between 1964-1972. I hypothesize that young Americans were more prone to became anti-war due to the counter culture movement; which correlates to a decrease in the amount of them that identify as Democrats. I believe there was a decrease in democratic representation among young Americans because the Democratic Party was in power during this time period. The emergence of this movement was due to many factors including: feminism, civil rights, war in Vietnam, and lack of trust in the government. The counter culture consisted mainly of new journalism, protests, drugs, and psychedelic rock. My hypothesis is proven true through the analysis of Jimi Hendrix's “Voodoo Child” and polls taken throughout this time period.

    High School. As a fourteen year old I couldn’t wait to become a freshman at Vanden High School, I could just taste the freedom. I had seen all the movies and all the tv shows; high school was this magical place full of happiness and fun, and during lunch we would all break out into song with outstanding and seemingly unplanned dance routines. Turns out, high school wasn’t as perfect as the movies and tv shows made it out to be. It was similar to the disillusionment that Rosaura had about Luciana’s mother, Senora Ines, in “The Stolen Party”.

The story mainly focuses on the income difference between Rosaura’s family and that of Senora Ines, which clearly show that there is a huge social difference between these two families.

  • Describe My Personal Political Socialization Process

    I believed my party identification of being a Democratic was formed by the influence of my family. Since all of my family is Democratic I have grown up believing in certain Democratic characteristic such as being liberal, equal rights for men and woman, especially when it deals with wages and education, also in pro-choice. I believe my party identification is strong, however since I’m older I think I base my identity on what political candidate or politician has the values that are aligned for my best interests; meaning they are subject to change now that I understand politics more. Based off the results from the poll I would be ninety-five percent likely to side with Bernie Sanders as the next Democratic nominee for president. I’m consider a left-wing Social Libertarian/Authoritarian who supports legislated equality, personal freedom, and protection of other people.
