Different Political Parties

In recent years, the splitting of the population into generational groups has become more relevant in politics than ever. In this paper I will use information collected from various studies and statistics to discuss the preferred political parties of different generations, as well as explain the differences between modern social movements and ones from the past. Evidence shows that different generations prefer different social and political views. An example of this is the pattern seen in how while older generations tend to be Republican and conservative, younger generations have become increasingly left winged and liberal. However, despite these preferences, the overall Democratic to Republican ratio is more equal than some may think. Furthermore,

statistics that show how the population voted during the 2016 American presidential election reflect this pattern. The political views of people often tie into their social views as well. Younger generations have also become more tolerant of controversial views and lifestyles, such as homosexuality and atheism. While social justice has existed for many decades, more recent social movements have become different from the ones in the past. Examples would be how recent movements tend to lack a central leader. Millennials instead organize these movements through the internet, and rely less on the influence of the government to promote change. Instead, they look to society to change their ways, and spread their ideas through petitions, volunteering, and communicating through social media. There are many factors that can influence these differences between generations. These can include past political climate, traditions, and even technology. Despite the differences between generations, people should look past these in order to create a more unified society.
