The political compass is a test available online in which people have the option of learning more about their own political views from a scale of authoritarian and libertarian as well as if their views are considered collectivism or neo-liberalism. The test consists of over sixty two questions, in which it is meant to gather information on your own personal general attitudes. The questions varied and consisted of statements similar to “I would always support my country, regardless if it was right/wrong and “there is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment out there”.

    Are You A Biased Tv Biaser Analysis

    Lately, however with the way widespread media has changed the way of receiving information it is difficult to know whether one is simply roaming the internet or actually using it for causes like choosing political candidates. Although this generation, for example, is a bit more open, because for viewers actually getting information are receiving it from multiple sources and take time out to listen to different angles and points of views to the story that contribute to opinions that are not what people say preconceived opinions or ideas. Preconceived notions like ideas and opinions are created beforehand without adequate evidence. These notions are brought for people who are biased, turn sides real quick or even bandwagon. Viewers are brought in with propaganda techniques so they can try to decide quickly upon a side without fully being capable of knowing for sure what the side specifically stand for. As previously mentioned a viewer gets comfortable with frequently watched tv programs and begin to become stubborn with opinions and fail to see actual facts. Why should tv stop people from choosing a direct side, that is where generation z steps in to solve this problem for themselves, surrounded by media, this generation uses some of the ability of holding sources in technology to contradict what it is that tv sources are so afraid of sharing with spectators.

    Public Opinions In Fahrenheit 451

    When you turn on the television you see public opinions. When you turn on the radio you hear public opinions. When you read a magazine you see public opinions. If public opinions are constantly surrounding us wherever we look, that means they have complete control over our life. Public opinions from television shows, political figures, talk radios, entertainers and magazines do not help us become better people and instead stunt our growth. If we want to develop our minds without the impact of society’s public opinions, we need to remove ourselves from seeing as many public opinions in our life as possible because these opinions are not worthwhile and neither do they help express the opinions of the democratic values. Personal opinions are…

    Moderate Liberal Populist: A Philosophical Analysis

    After finishing the quiz, my Personal Score was 48% and my Economic Score was 32%. Then, my political philosophy results labeled me as a “Moderate Liberal Populist.” Upon reading more into the quiz results, I find that, since my Economic Score is below 40%, it meant that I “believe that a good society is best achieved by the government distributing wealth [and that] the government’s purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program” (ontheissues.org).…

    The Role Of Polarization In Politics

    Polarization has existed for many years in the United States. The idea of polarization can be dated all the way back to 1787, in the Federalist Papers where James Madison discusses the dangers of that factions and groups can pose to the society. Madison's concerns stemmed from the uneasiness that political division has always existed in the United States. Even, Thomas Jefferson had his concerns with polarization and have seen firsthand of the factional disputes that occurred. So what does the term "polarization" mean in terms of politics? Polarization is when the public opinions go into two different extremes which create no middle ground or compromise. The polarization in politics is in regards to the division between organized groups and…

    What Is Partisanship?

    Therefore, political identification as expressed through partisan or political party identification is somewhat damaging. Someone looks at the world through Democratic, Republican, or Libertarian-tinted glasses. To the extent that partisan identification represents ideology, this is understandable: ideology has been likened to a lens. However, it is hardly comforting from the perspective of citizenship, which mandates a well-informed and open-minded citizenry capable of making objective decisions about voting, not discarding information that does not neatly fit into their ideological beliefs. Although the authors are quick to point out the limitations of their sample size in the…

    First of all, I was surprised by the results. In the beginning I was expecting to get a clear answer: either I had conservative viewpoints or I had liberal viewpoints. I did not anticipate that most people would fall near the middle of the liberal and conservative scale. During the class survey, my result was extremely close to the origin. In fact,…

    Hypocrisy in the American Society

    This paper is based on my own experience while living in the United States, and it is not intended to offend anyone. I come from a former Soviet Union country called Republic of Moldova (which maybe only 0,001% of Americans know about), located in eastern Europe. My family is quite conservative – but we may think about conservatism in two completely contrasting ways because we come from two extremely different backgrounds and different cultural values, which I will try to explain as clearly as possible in my essay.…

    When Americans think of democrats and republicans they think of politicians, but they are not just politicians but voters as well. Voters and politicians can affiliate with either the Democratic or Republican Party through their ideals and stance on certain issues. Also we see that voters’ traits can help to classify them as either republican or democratic. Unlike some may…

    Culture War In American Culture

    Providing the context within which political beliefs and attitudes exist and can be analyzed, culture is critically important to an understanding of public opinion. Culture is often defined largely by the values that are salient in society at any given point in time. Values, in turn, are defined at the individual level as each person's abstract, general conceptions about the desirable and undesirable end-states of human life. The concept of culture is evidently multifaceted. It leads to the reality where a heterogeneous nation like the United States easily generates a variety of distinct and different value orientations within its population. If these differing value structures imply mutually…

    Political Placement Analysis

    My placement on the political compass was lower left being closer to the libertarian side but on the political spectrum I leaned a bit more towards the left-wing. Overall, this states that I believe social factors should be made by society and the economy should be controlled slightly more by the people than the government. As a whole I do agree with my placement however, modern society’s adversities continually challenge as well as affirm my current political placement, so I’m remaining open-minded. For the most part however, I do hold more liberal views especially in social issues, thus, I have naturally grown more fond of the liberal party than the conservative party. Through this assignment, I have gained a more in-depth understanding and…

    Political Biography

    In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically today. I have established a solid although ever evolving conceptualization of politics and society due to my family's influence and my early high school political experience.…

    Politics And Vision Analysis

    In Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought, Wolin attempts to provide an understanding of politics and the political and the characteristics of the space and discourse of political philosophy throughout history. While Wolin doesn’t claim the authority or ability to define political philosophy, he begins with the intention of studying the nature of the activity and its limits and developments. He sets up the inherent ties of the political to the public or commonwealth, and, therefore, the public concerns that political philosophy focuses on. Within the discourse of political philosophy is the notable continuity of certain problems throughout history including “the power relationships between ruler and ruled,…
