Recommended: Essay understanding political ideologies

These three political ideology surveys actually were interesting because I never really found a real interest in politics till now. I believe that the results of the three surveys did correlate with each other. I believe that they do correlate because taking the survey three different ways allowed room to see if there would be a difference in the results which it was not. Each of the the questions on these surveys actually circled around the same concept which was equality, and freedom of choice. I was not really surprised with my results. The reason that I was not surprised was because I had based all my answer on the type of person that I am. When I think about a government I want to it to allow society to speak their mind and treat everyone equally. I believe that we are all people and we all bleed the same …show more content…

Donald Trump makes that clear. Clearly, I am person that really cares about equality. So, that is why I was 100% sure that my outcome would match my thought. They also did match with whom I supported in 2012 which was Barack Obama. He was a big person on equality for instance, he stated that, “ We believe in the inherited dignity and equality of every human being regardless of race or religion, creed or sexual orientation No one deserves to be treated differently. I believe the most valid was the world’s smallest political quiz. I believe that this is valid because it actually explained the reason why they felt that I was a liberal. Instead of just saying you are a liberal with no explanation or just saying that it is common for kids to be liberal. The way I can apply the result of me being a liberal to the purpose of the government is by putting my opinion on it. Meaning if I feel that people should help people that are at a disadvantage I believe that the government should be reasonable to society even though you can not please everyone, but it would not hurt to

    The summer of 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson finally decided to sign the Civil Rights Act. This bill permitted people of all races and skin tones to be free from segregation. It promised the extension on voting rights, stronger equal employment opportunities, and guaranteed all Americans the right to use public facilities such as schools, restaurants and swimming pools (Politics or Principle 405). Many Americans questioned if the true decision behind President Johnson signing the civil rights act of 1964 was political or principle. I strongly believe Johnson signed it in a principle matter due to seeing different perspectives in living with prejudice, he would do anything to get the bill signed and he was finally free from the South's persuasive bonds.

    James Oakes’ The Radical and the Republican narrated the relationship between two of America’s greatest leaders: Frederick Douglass, the “radical” abolitionist, and Abraham Lincoln, the “Republican” politician. He did an astonishing job of demonstrating the commonalities between the views of Douglass and Lincoln, but also their differences on their stance of anti-slavery politics and abolitionism. Despite being on the same side of the argument of slavery, Douglass and Lincoln went about their opinions separately. Lincoln held a more patient and orthodox stance on anti-slavery, while Douglass was proven to be obstinate and direct with

  • The Populists and Progressives

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the late 19th and early 20th century both the Populist Party and Progressive movement wanted to preserve some things, while also addressing the need for reform. Although many of the ideas and goals of these “Third parties” were initially not legislated and considered far-fetched, many of these ideas later became fundamental laws throughout American history. The Populists and Progressives were both grass roots movements, and addressed the needs of the poor and powerless, for the Populists it was farmers and for the Progressives it was urban lower and middle class workers. These two movements attempted to bring the powerless peoples issues to national politics. The Populists and Progressives wanted to preserve some American ideals of the past, such as a sense of community and the ability for farmers and workers to live happily without economic strains. Populists were more oriented to the plight of the farmer while the Progressives included women's rights, and protection of the consumer and labor.

  • Analysis Of The Democratic Party And The Republican Party

    The United States, comprised of much political diversity, has only two major political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists on March 20th, 1854, and is represented by its mascot, the elephant. Often referred to as the “Grand Old Party”, or GOP, Republicans favor customs that exude traditional Christian values with a platform based on American Conservatism. As a Christian myself, the values I share with Republican ideals are a main reason I side with the Republican Party.

    Political parties, like interest groups, are organized groups that effort to influence the government by electing their associates to important government offices. The first party system appeared in the 1970s and pitted the federalist beside the Jeffersonian Republican. Over the years, the federalists progressively weakened and disappeared altogether after the pro-British sympathies of some Federalist leaders for the duration of the War of 1812 led to charges of betrayal against the party. From the collapse of the federalist until 1830s, American had only one political party, the Jeffersonian Republicans, who gradually came to be known as the Democrats. There was strong factional conflict within the Democratic Party, principally between the

    Whether it is race, gender, religion, or sexuality. Our country is filled with problems that people are bashing others because their oppinions might differ but that only distances people when we should really be united and fight to fix these problems as a whole, “This country faces enormous problems and they will not be solved unless we are united. It is time to end politics of division on this country, of politicions playing one group of people against the other: white against black, male against female, straight against gay, native born against immigrant.”(Green,Tasini). We need to be united for the sake of our country. Sanders is not only a great candidate for the election but is also a hardworking and devoting man that is willing to push any actions to make his propositions possible for this country. This only shows that as a president of our country, he will move quickly and effectively to change the world for the better and be at peace. We need a president to fight for us “the people” and our country. Bernard “Bernie” Sanders is that man and he will enhance this country.

  • Political Parties: Party Identification

    1767 Words  | 4 Pages

    Party identification is the political party that an individual categorizes them self with. Political parties came about as a way to organize citizens with similar beliefs and attitudes. These parties then attempt to influence the government by electing members into office. Today there are two main parties people can identify: Republican and Democrat. There is also a third choice, being an Independent, but for the purpose of this paper this group will not be recognized as a political party. These reasons will be discussed later. There are many different theories as to why people do or do not identify with a political party, including social psychology, issue related, and psychological attachments. I believe the social psychology theory has the right idea. Sociology is about studying human society and how it develops and functions. So, it makes sense that social factors would have a big impact on whether we identify with a political party or not.

  • An Analysis of the Populist and Progressive Era

    1671 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the words of Thomas Jefferson, “A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.” (Jefferson, 1801) This idea echoed far beyond it’s time and into the minds and hearts of the Populist’s, and became the center and the driving force of the Progressive era. During the gilded age railroads were being built, Industrialization was rising, the population of United States was increasing dramatically; and corporate businesses were becoming extremely powerful. The gilded age was known for its corruption and business domination, it wasn’t until the Populist movement when people started to fight back and also not until the Progressive movement when people started changing the government system.

  • The Political Compass Test

    730 Words  | 2 Pages

    After taking “The Political Compass” test, it is interesting to see how I turned out to be more communist and authoritarian than I originally believed. I am a bit disappointed that I turned out to be “less ideological.” This could be a result of the fact that I do not see myself to be an extremist. Extremists are typically unable to share views with other extremists. I can identify with authoritarians more than with libertarians. This exam is able to determine whether someone can identify with libertarians, authoritarians, communists or neo-liberalists. Many of the questions on the exam were very vague, while others were very direct and specific. There are plenty of factors that affect the results of this exam- childhood experiences, age, gender, religion, race, ethnicity, influence

    If you're truly believe that Donald Trump is the best fit person to be president, then vote for him because everybody’s vote counts. Make sure that you support him the day he announces that he will run for president and did not make any policies to help people at the time. No matter what Trump did in his past you can always forgive him with the goofy faces he makes. Forget that Hillary was a senator and first lady which makes her more experienced to be president and vote for Trump because he is rich and is a businessman that had his own television show and a cameo in “ Home Alone”.Don't vote for Hillary because she is Married to Bill Clinton who had an affair with his secretary.

  • Political Justice Midterm Analysis

    In 2010, a Tennessee house fire sparked debate across the country. The house was left to burn while the firefighters watched, because the homeowners, the Cranicks, lived in a rural area that was not included in fire service, and they had not paid their subscription fee to receive the help. In this paper, I will take three theories of justice; the Utilitarian theory, the Rawlsian theory, and the Libertarian theory, and apply it to this unique situation while conjecturing how each theory would respond and suggest alternatives for the future. It seems clear that those Tennessee firefighters were just following the system and instructions from their authorities, but was it moral, or just? Let’s examine
