Next Generation Left: Analysis

Decent Essays
In reference to the result of the Pew Research Center quiz I took; I am most likely to vote for the candidate from the Democratic Party. According to the quiz result, I am classified as a “Next Generation Left”. The result shows that I have a liberal attitude on many issues. For example, in the issues dealing with social values and race, I agreed with 62% of the general public and 88% of Next General Left that homosexual should be accepted by society. In my opinion, I believe that everyone has a right to pursuit happiness without being judged. This is also one of the Democratic party’s beliefs. Furthermore, I also have a liberal attitude towards governmental issues and environmental issues. Therefore, in this case, I support Hillary Clinton

    The bipartisan push for health care in America posits the current Administration to address this matter without a complete dismantlement of the current system. According to, What’s Next for Progressives by Paul Krugman, the Dutch have constructed a universal healthcare system that requires citizens to purchase coverage from regulated insurance providers, yet there are subsidies to assist with purchasing health care; in understanding this, the Affordable Care Act (A.C.A.) if done in a constructive manner has the potential to be of a great benefit to the American people. Thus, incremental change as oppose to a radical shift is a tactic to be considered by the present administration. The conception of affordable health entails positive externalities…

    Before the constitution was drafted in 1787, there were no definite political parties in the United States, however people knew their views and noticed how they differed from other peoples. However, these views weren’t very tightly held and weren’t as important to people as much as they are closely valued today. However, there are two major political parties in the United States today. These are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, formerly known as the GOP, or Grand Ole Party. However, before these party names came to be, and around 1790, most of the people in the United States either considered themselves to be Anti-Federalists, who are essentially modern-day Democrats, or Federalists, who are modern-day Republicans.…

    On the Political Typology quiz, my results showed that I am a Solid Liberal. On the Political Party quiz, my results showed that I am a Liberal Democrat. I was honestly surprised by the results because I knew I fell on the Liberal side of the spectrum, but I didn’t know I was a strong Liberal. Questions about gay marriage had me feeling conflicted because as a Christian my religion teaches me not to approve of gay marriage, but then again I ask myself if I was in their position how would I feel if someone told me I can’t marry the person I love due to the law prohibiting it. I also had questions that were easy for me to answer like the question asking whether Muslims should face more scrutiny in the US or the one asking if the US needed to…

Millennials sustain support for a more activist way of government; this is known to be true for republican millennials also. Millennials are also considered to be more liberal because of their formative political experiences and they make up the most secular, racially diverse, and least nationalistic generation. As being part of this generation, I have grown up believing and thinking in a more liberal way as well, because of how open minded, accepting, and respectful I was taught to…

    The phenomenon of the New Conservative movement (Neo-Conservatism, or commonly abbreviated as neocons) is a political movement born in the 1960s. Most loyalist followers of this movement came from Republicans. The influence and involvement of the movement against the US political dynamics are not just limited to domestic issues, but also in making US foreign policy.

    After their loss in the American Civil War, the Southern states went through a difficult period of Reconstruction. Not only was most of the South’s land destroyed in the war, but they also had to change their currency and adapt to Northerners taking over their politics. It was due to these trying times that the Southerners established a set of beliefs and values about themselves they called the Lost Cause. Southerners claimed the Lost Cause was a social movement of remembering and honoring their past; however, the way that Lost Cause thinkers romanticised and ignored their past mistakes makes it hard to believe that the act was just social. Ultimately, the Lost Cause movement was a political agenda that drew a greater presence of white supremacy…

    My generation, Gen Z, is projected to be one of the most conservative generations yet, we very clearly buck the Churchill quote “ if you are not a socialist in your twenties you don't have a heart, if you are a socialist in your 40’s you don't have a brain.” But do we truly not have a heart. I would certainly say I do, at the very least, I've given many hours to charity, many dollars to charity, given a room in my house to help a homeless man get back on his feet. It should be noted however that the most conservative generation still has quite a few socialists in it, many of us are still filled with childish optimism and believe that more government is good. Being a political person at our age, conservatives are vastly outnumbered sure many of our peers share the beliefs of their parents but they don't know why the should believe what they are saying nor do they stand firm in their beliefs.…

    The Conservative Movement arose to answer three major concerns. The first concern of the Conservative Movement was to repeal New Deal programs. Over the years this transformed into more of a fight against “big government” and New Deal programs were the central pillar of “big government”. The next goal of the Conservative movement dealt with the destruction of Communism and creating a foreign policy that exemplified this desire. According to the Conservative Movement, Communism was seen as a threat to America and the rest of world, and conservatives saw liberal foreign policy on Communism as weak and wanted to change US’s foreign policy to be more aggressive.…

    I currently live on a Christian seminary campus, where calling someone a liberal is considered an insult and anything less that extreme right wing is out of the norm. Though I’ve grown up around a very decided group of people, my parents are much more moderate than the majority of the people here and have definitely influenced my beliefs to a degree. It’s been an interesting contrast, being surrounded by one extreme and, as a millennial growing up in the age of the Internet, being influenced by the opposite end of the spectrum. I went into these quizzes thinking I would land somewhere in the middle and to the left, and I wasn’t too terribly far off.…
