Ideology Response Paper

Ideology Response This semester I have learned a lot throughout these chapters. I learned about politics and the inside of the functions on how they work to why they work that way. I have also learned that about where my classmates state and about myself with my point of view in politics. This response will talk about the “economic” and “social” dimensions and the issues that come with them. Also, my preference on liking one side more or less about government interactions. My views compared to the government views on liberty and order will also be talked about, as well as the quadrants I didn’t fall in, with this, we shall see in what “category” I fall in.
I was placed in Economic Left/Right:-2.1 Social Libertarian /Authoritarian: 0.36 quadrant. Which is at the bottom right of the very first quadrant. Meaning that both social dimension and a economic dimensions are important factors. I think I was placed where I was placed because in some of those questions I do not see eye to eye on. I’m a guy that tends to mind his own business, but yet have my view in laws that will affect me or my family and friends.
For example, the question that talked about abortion

Honestly, I was confused, I felt that I would have been more of a wild type of child. All my political views from the government differ and that is a possibility in why we are doing so bad as a country. We all want to make this country the best it will ever be but in all reality we are hurting ourselves by trying to make this country something it is not. I believe this ideology quiz was accurate, it gave me reliable information back. It’s an eye open that shows you what our government sees. In our eyes, we view everything so much different and that’s a problem. We are focused on the little things that bother us, while our government is doing things that will eventually end us jeopardizing our

Shelden’s book, Washington Brotherhood: Politics, Social Life, and the Coming of the Civil War, tells a story beyond the events individuals are familiar with. Rather, Shelden discusses the events during the Antebellum period through a social and personal lens of Washington’s political aristocracy. In doing so, she connects familiar events to personal experiences, allowing for a more insightful view of the Civil War.…

    After reading “Off Center” by Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson for class, I was left with some thoughts that I would like to talk about in this response paper. I will be focusing on identifying an important, researchable issue that was not addressed in this reading. I believe that Hacker and Pierson do an excellent job of using detailed arguments and explanations for why the political party spectrum, and specifically the GOP, is off center. However, this book was written 10 years ago, and I believe that opinions and beliefs in our country, as well as current government official’s political party representation, show that ideologies are changing.…

    Assignment I: Political Continuum Lluvia Herrera Policy I: Understanding Social Welfare Policy Wichita State University Assignment I: Political Continuum After taking the Political Typology quiz my results described me as hard-pressed skeptic.

    In 1796, one of the founding fathers and the first president George Washington was bringing to a close, his 2nd term in the presidency. The letter composed, which we now refer to as “Washington’s Farewell Address” would be not only widely circulated, but cherished for years to come. His address would not only cover his resignation, but because of its content seems somewhat of a prophecy, as it went on to describe some of the shortcomings we see today as the advice offered was not heeded. In this paper my intent is to not only provide a personal analysis, but to highlight the subject areas which are relevant even today and therefore prove significant.…

    I don’t know how much freedom should be allowed, or how much control the government should have to make everything run smoothly and make everyone happy. I found the part on the website that shows where the 2016 presidential candidates are on the graph, and I think its interesting that if I look at where I am, and where they are, I am closer to Jill Stein. It’s interesting because I am voting for Hillary Clinton. She looks like a right-wing…
