Autobiography Eassay
The Liberal Life I am a pure liberal who will likely vote for Democratic party candidates in upcoming elections. There are many types of political views that people have that are extremely different from each other as well as very similar. Two groups people would be the pure liberals and the pure conservatives. The pure liberals are the ones who want more government action in economic issues, but less government action in social issues. Pure conservatives are the people that want less government action in economic issues, but more government action in social cases. I fall under the pure liberal side because of the way I view those different issues. Although i am a liberal, in some cases i would side with the conservatives depending on the topic. On economic issues, I find myself to be more of a liberal than a conservative. Many issues fall under this category including Health insurance. As an American I think its a duty for the government to provide this type of insurance for all citizens. There are many people that cannot afford health insurance, therefore helping them out is the right thing to do. Health Insurance makes sure people get the care they need to have a safe future. Another big example would be Social Security and Medicare. These are so important in a country like ours. Social Security and Medicare helps the elderly, middle-aged, young, disabled, etc. People who retire need something to protect them so they can keep earning an income. Young teenage workers need a system to help them after getting fired from a job. I strongly believe that the government has to provide citizens with this type of care because a lot of people don’t make a steady income. My beliefs have come from many different sources. My grandpa was a republican but had many democratic views. Those views stuck with me throughout my life. My parents are more moderate so they agree with both sides sometimes and so I learned a lot from them. Economic issues are the most important

    Legislation passed by these parties is one way of deciphering the ideologies of each party, and whether each bill promotes either Liberalism or Conservatism. Primarily, the Democrats have been associated with Liberalism since FDR’s New deal from the 1930’s. Although the ‘tax and spend’ policies have become unfashionable in recent years, most Democrats would still identify themselves as liberals, with similar philosophies. Recent policies do support this argument, shown by the Democratic president Obama who, in January 2009, alongside a Democratic Congress, passed a $700 billion economic stimulus package. This is clearly…

    Some of the earliest reading memories I have come from reading flashcards with basic words on them, reading closed captions on cartoons (something I still utilize to this day,) and being read to by my mother and preschool teachers. A memory I remember in vivid detail (which is one of my earliest memories) is sitting in the lap of one of the preschool assistants (Jan) as she was reading to me. I do not remember what book it was, however, I do remember I was wearing a sweatshirt and my pink snowboots. I have a picture of this in a preschool scrapbook. Another one of my early reading memories is watching Timon and Pumbaa and singing along to the theme song as I read the closed captions. My mother came in when she heard me singing the word “philosophy” and I gave her a look that said “What is that face for?”…

    If I were to describe my political ideology, I would consider myself mostly liberal with some independent views. I believe in equality for everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. I think Americans need to be a little more accepting, and open to reaching out and helping those in need. This country needs to continue moving forward and growing, and I do not see that happening with a conservative in charge.…

Each supports and opposes different issues. The Democratic Party supports a bigger government and believes the government should guide the people. They are known as Liberals because typically they like change. The Republican Party supports a smaller government and believes the people should guide the government.

    Being Liberal

    In a nation with such polar political stances and opinions, I typically view myself as a liberal-leaning member of society. As a liberal, I value the rights of the individual, and the freedoms that we are born with. I take into consideration that opportunity and equality for all is an important idea that should be stressed in our society and should be carried out by our government. I also feel that it is the role of the government to eliminate social problems and protect the natural rights of each individual. I stand on the ground of eliminating the death penalty, enforcing pro-choice decisions, and accepting that Global Warming/ Climate Change is a direct result of poor human decisions and consumptions, along with many other liberal ideas.…

    It has been a long time since I learned to read and write. I grew up in a small town middle of nowhere in Brazil, and I lived in a coffee farm until I was 12 years old. My parents were very simple and uneducated, who lived life to work. I started school at 1st grade level (no kindergarten that time) when I was 6 years old. I don’t remember if I knew any reading or numbers, I think I didn’t know anything about reading and writing. I learned all that in the school. I remember that I learned the alphabet first, then the sounds of the letters, the different sounds of combined letter, consonants, and vowels. Then I started to learn some mixed vowels and consonants, then words. My teacher was nice but she was very strict. When she was in bad mood…

    The question of “are you conservative or liberal?” seems to me like an easy one to answer, But when I sit down and think about it I’m not so sure. On the values worksheets I scored “conservative” on three of them but the other three I was “other”. So this tells me I’m definitely not a liberal, I wouldn’t go as far to say that I’m a full-fledged conservative. While most of my views do line of with those of conservatives I have a few left wing views of my own. Like gay marriage, abortion, assisted suicide, and the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research. Before taking this class I always saw myself as a steadfast conservative but recently I see myself as more of a moderate leaning to the right. The reason I don’t identify as a conservative or liberal is because their views on many issues come off as radical to me. Some examples would be how anti-gay marriage many conservatives are and how staunch liberals want to move away from capitalism and become more socialist, which I believe is a bad idea. The best part of being a moderate is that I can have beliefs that originate from both left and right. Neither conservatives nor liberals have a perfect solution to everything but I personally believe that conservatives have more ideas that appeal to me than liberals and that’s why I lean to the right.…

    Abortion is one of the issues which are taken into concern. Liberals believe that a woman has the right to decide with what happens with her body. The fetus is not considered to be human life and therefore it does not have individual rights. They also believe that the government should provide taxpayer abortions for the woman who cannot afford it. On the other hand, Conservatives believe that abortion is a form of murder. An unborn baby is living and has separate rights from his/her mother. The baby has the right to live. They also oppose taxpayer abortions. I support the conservatives on this matter because the rightful life of an innocent baby should not be taken away because of his/her mother’s decision.…
