Everybody has a different opinion about the government.They think differently about what the government should do, what political party they support, and the efficacy of the government. Many things influence your opinion towards these factors. Your age, religion, Education, gender, and social class are just a few factors. One major factor is also your family. I interviewed my dad to see what his views were and to determine if they have influenced me in any way.
The amount of work and involvement you want the government to have would be your political ideology. I discovered during the interview that my dad is more of a conservative. He is set in his ways and believes that we should stick to the constitution. Also he believes that the …show more content…
Efficacy does not have to do with how the government contributes to us, but with how we contribute to the government. Our contribution is through things like voting. My dad believes that voting is important. However he feels like it does not count like it should. He wants the electoral college to be obsolete and the winner to be based off of the populous vote. Other involvement with the government is also important. The political figures are supposed to be the voice of all the people. In order for them to be the voice people have to voice their opinions/concerns to them. However for some of the representatives it doesn’t matter they are only concerned about the money accumulating in their pockets. There should be a true chain of command taking place in the government. This chain should start with the people and end with the president.

He was just raised in his ways to where he does not like change, and he feels like everybody should work hard and if you work hard and well you should be rewarded. On average older people lean toward the conservative side anyways. Another big influence on him is his social class. He is a part of the working middle class that gets all of the taxes. The middle class gets taxed to much while the rich are allowed many opportunities to receive tax breaks and the poor are just given free stuff because apparently once you are poor there is no way you can move up in rank and you must be poor forever. This would obviously make a person lean more towards the side that appreciates the working class. The last thing that influenced him greatly was just his morals. What he feels is wrong and right. A person will obviously choose someone to represent them that feels the same way they do that way the chances of them doing things you like are higher. His morals puts him against the liberal views because they want even more laws when we clearly already have
