Political Worksheet

Preston Haney Mrs. Greathouse American Government 10 February 2014 My results for the worksheet "Where Do You Stand Politically?" I intend to lean towards being more liberal than conservative. I tend to register as a liberal on freedom of choice in personal matters, but support central decision making in economics. When it comes to economics I want the government to help the disadvantage in the name of fairness. According to the worksheet I am a leftist and tolerate social diversity, but work for what they call "economically equal". In the worksheet "Ideological Survey" I tended to be more liberal than conservative. This I agree with liberal 15 out of 25 issues because everybody should be equal and even if that one person has millions of
dollars they should not be treated any different just because they have money. For example Americans should have a right to affordable health care that is a liberal statement and I think everybody should get the same amount of health care even if the person does not have a lot of money to afford it, it is about keeping everybody equal so other people do not think they are more powerful than other people because of their money. The results of "What Are You" worksheet I tended to lean towards being more conservative then liberal, because the government wants to use money for education and welfare.
For example money now used for defense of the nation should be used for other priorities such as education and welfare this is a liberal statement. The government is also trying to help kids with their education. For example students from poor, inner neighborhoods should be bused to affluent suburbs in order to have equal education this is also a conservative statement that I agree with. This is a great way to give more children in the world a better opportunity to become something great in
life. My results for "I Side With" is mostly the Green Party. The other parties I agreed with or sided with are the democrats, socialist, republicans, and libertarians. I agree with 83% with the Green Party on these related topics science, environmental issues, domestic policy, healthcare, immigration, and educational reasons. I agree 82% with Democrats and the topics are science related issues, environmental issues, domestic policy, immigration, and educational reasons. 62% of the parties inside with are the Socialist the topics I agree with are environment reasons, science, and immigration issues. I side with 51% Republicans these issues I agree with are on foreign policy and social issues. Libertarians I side with only 19% on healthcare issues only. I was very pleased with my results from this quiz I tend to lean a lot towards the Green Party which I think is true because I do care about the issues. My political socialization mostly comes from my family, eduction, and peers.
I think these are the most important issues because my parents are kind of into politics but, it depends on what the topic is about. My parents tell me important things about their political preferences and how I should agree or disagree with their topic to have some type of conversation with them. I will agree with them sometimes so I can please my parents and make the choices they want me to make in my life. I think if I was more educated I would probably enjoy politics and political activities. If I am around certain friends that are older or more educated I will try and talk politics with them if they bring them up in a conversation. If it is a different group of peers that do not really like to talk politics then I just do not really care for them, but it's a like or a dislike for me on
politics. My thoughts on all four quizzes I was very shocked with my results on every quiz we took for this paper. I did not think my results would actually matter so much until we took the quizzes to show the certain things I side with or agree with. I learned that I care a lot bout being economically equal and everybody should have a say in something. I was impressed on how much I care about people's education and how that everybody should get a chance at a good education no matter where your from, what race you are, and where you grew up everybody deserves a chance. This activity was great and I learned a lot of new things about myself that I would have never known about if it wasn't for these quizzes.
