Political Spectrum Quiz Analysis

Improved Essays
The quiz determines where we fall in the” political spectrum” . The north part is labeled as authoritarian. The bottom is libertarian. The left is labeled as communism. The right is Neo Liberalism.My graph coordinates were social libertarian/Authoritarian :1.13 while my economic left right was at -2.25 .i interpret my results as being very close to the economic scale .I was slightly on the left .Since people like Gandhi and Robert Mugable tend to be a “less extreme leftist “they would be considered socialist .I was also very slight up on the Authoritarian left which seem to favor state minded collectivism, but i placed at a less extreme scale.
I believe the results are not extremely representative of my exact political ideology on the other

Which i am surprised that it would be in my political ideology because i am neutral about those . Left wing populist also tend to be in favor of social justice and Pacifism. That is one of the things that i acknowledge that the political spectrum quiz got right.Left wing politics tend to favor social equality.They also tend to support Keynesian economics.They also oppose the influence of the roman catholic religion which makes no sense why i would be a “left wing “ if i am catholic. That clearly shows something that the political spectrum quiz did not get right ,so therefore i believe that the quiz does not represent my political ideology …show more content…
I personally do not agree with his comment because America is a place that originated from immigrants.There also very places that will continue to have a high population of all white people.The author talks about his country Japan and how Japan is very stable because they do not allow immigration.He assumes that America should do the same thing.I do not agree with that because America has a very different economy than Japan’s and are completely different countries.Also America has always been a country of immigrants and if we did that that would be targeting the most recent immigration groups.
I strongly disagree with the author because of his lack of reasoning in comparing America to Japan . My stance on immigration is completely different from him.This also conflicts with my political ideology results because as a populist they favor nativism. Which i believe does not fit with my

    Immigration has always been a part of American culture, in fact, it is the basis of how our country was formed. Immigration, both legal and illegal, has become a key focal point in today’s society- especially with presidential elections looming in the near future. In a collection of essays titled “Reinventing the Melting Pot: The New Immigrant and What It Means to Be American,” Jamar Jacoby has a piece titled “The New Immigrants and the Issue of Assimilation” published in 2004. In her piece she creates an argument that although beneficial to our country, immigration has a pessimistic aura. She argues that immigrants from developing countries are entering the United States where many will be forced to spend their lives at the bottom of the economy, and where their assimilation feels forced.…

    Many Americans genuinely fear immigrants and believe that immigrants are making their lives more difficult. Nutting immediately starts off his essay by ridiculing oppositions argument and states that those who support Donald Trump’s “hateful rhetoric” should go read the new report called the “Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration” to “assuage their fears” (Nutting 2). Author claims that immigration does not impact native-born wages and employment according to the “Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration” by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Further reports find that the “long-term impact of immigration on the wages and employment of native-born worker overall is very small.” In addition, the report also found that any “negative impacts are most likely to be found for prior immigrants or native-born high school dropouts.”…

    Articles such as this need to be more widely distributed in ensure everyone fully understands the importance of immigrants in the United States. It’s easy to agree with these myths when you see it on television, in the paper, or your colleagues at work and school what is harder is looking for the facts that immigrants have done more for America than natural born citizens. Maybe it’s our pride which is our downfall, we think of ourselves as the greatest nation on Earth yet were moving closer to denying rights of the very people that have bled, sweated, and cried for our existence. The only thing dated about the article is some of the number and I’m sure if you looked at the numbers today it would say the display the same results. My own opinion is we need to open the door to more people that are being thrown from their home countries that are desperate for a welcoming home to come to.…

    The War of Politics: Liberals vs Conservatives Democracy in the United States American is made up of two main political parties, republicans and democrats. The common view of each party breaks down to liberals (Democrats) versus conservatives (Republicans) (Wilson & Dilulio, 2005). Instead of both sides working together to create policies for the greater good of the country, it seems that each side would rather dig their heels in the mud and take a stand that the other should be more like them. Before you can understand liberalism or conservatisms, you must understand the basic political ideologies in America.…

    Yesterday Sono Ayako contributed an opinion piece to the Sankei Shimbun, “‘Tekido na kyori’ tamochi ukeire o,” that has made serious waves on Twitter and elsewhere online for fairly obvious reasons. A rough translation is below: Let Them In, But Maintain “Appropriate Distance”: Labor shortages and immigrants When viewing recent problems like the rise of the Islamic State, I can only think about how difficult it is to understand the emotional and cultural backgrounds of people from different ethnicities. In Japan, meanwhile, where younger generations make up an ever-shrinking portion of the population, we are being pressed into a need to admit immigrant laborers to maintain the nation’s labor force. In particular, in the field of nursing care for the elderly, Japan must do away with barriers to the…

    Categorizing a political position according to some simple left-right scale of values leaves something to be desired. Political views cover such a wide variety of issues that it is impossible to describe adequately any one person merely by identifying where he sits on a lone horizontal line. Use of the single left-right scale makes impossible a satisfactory description of libertarian (and classical- liberal) attitudes toward government. Libertarians oppose not only government direction of economic affairs, but also government meddling in the personal lives of peaceful people. Does this opposition make libertarians “rightists” (because they promote free enterprise) or “leftists” (because they oppose government meddling in people’s private…

    They tend to support foreign aid, arms control, and multilateral efforts (engaging and acting in unison with allies).” Although modern liberalism has its positives, the negatives of modern liberalism can be coercive. According to (the author of the book), “coercion implies the deliberate interference of other human beings within the area in which he could otherwise act.” In addition, the reference to ‘Two Concepts of Liberty’ in his Four Essays on Liberty,’ “you lack political liberty or freedom only if you are prevented from attaining a goal by other human beings (Berlin, 1969: 122).” In other words, liberalism has limitations to where a person can be prevented from making their own decisions due to politicians, other human beings or etc.…
