Social Stereotypes

Improved Essays
I tested to be moderately republican; however, on economic issues I leaned to the democratic side. But on the social issues it resulted that I was very conservative. Comparing to the demographic of age, according to the test I must be of the age of 65 or older, being that my answers were conservative. The demographics of sex and race through the test guessed that I was a white male, both were correct. Moreover, it fitted me in perfectly with my choice of religion; however, it depicted that I would vote for Romney, but I wouldn’t have voted for either of the candidates. The results were not shocking to me, I fairly knew where I fitted in within all of these controversial topics and political party identity. It was very accurate throughout every selection it made, besides my age and voting preference. This quiz I found to be very precise, because I do side with the republicans more than the democrats or libertarians on political issues. My results were 86% republican, 79% constitution party, 68% libertarian and 63% democratic. I thought these results were correct based on my political beliefs; furthermore, I was raised by a Christian family with republican views, and because of what my …show more content…
I do differ on several topics with each side; however, I mostly side with the republicans, because that’s how I was raised. I am more lenient on the issues of abortion, homosexuality and other topics related to that, because of that I do agree that I’m a young outsider in which were the results of the test. I thought the Solid Liberals have a good perception about our nation’s success which is connected to the ability to change. However, I agree with the Steadfast Conservatives about how the government should focus less on global involvement and more on our country. Also, I have learned that the right sided republicans are against change, and on the other side, the left sided liberals are all about change in our

    Although I believe that the two-dimensional chart is very helpful in categorizing our politics, I wonder why the chart is not three-dimensional. Victor states that the chart categorizes voters by their level of economic and social ideologies, and the social ideology is based off of support, or lack of support for “racial minorities”. I think that a three-dimensional chart would serve a better purpose. The third factor in the proposed three-dimensional quadrant would be a person’s level of support for women’s rights. Republican leaders in Congress have expressed their lack of support for Planned Parenthood, and some governors, such as John Kasich, have even defunded Planned Parenthood for their states.…

    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.

    In this day and age, our nation has a “red versus blue” mentality despite the public’s opinions and attitudes displaying the many shades and tints in between. Traditionally, Americans have strictly defined their stance on a given issue or policy by which particular political party he or she identifies with. Today, Americans are more apt to define themselves as exclusive groups who share similar detailed views each a stemming from the ultimate Democratic and Republican parties. The new and improved typology has a range of groups that represent the diverse middle in between two polarized wings. After taking the typology quiz to see where I personally stand on this spectrum, I was unsurprised to find I identify with the group known as “Next Generation Left.”…

    I took the Worlds Smallest Political Quiz and it stated that I agree with the Liberals the most. According to the quiz Liberals “usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.” I definitely agree with this statement because I am a huge enforcer in freedom of choice and personal matters.…

    The United States is well-known for its two-party political system, Republicans constantly compete with Democrats, trying to promote their political ideals, and search to retain political leadership. Despite the traditional view that the Republican and the Democratic Party are completely different, they are able to find agreement on numerous political and social issues. Democrats generally follow what is called a liberal philosophy, believing that the proper role of the government is to regulate and oversee the economy. In addition to overseeing most aspects of American life, Democratic principles also include redistributing economic wealth to the benefit of the more needy. They believe the government should ensure that all people are taken care of, providing welfare, food stamps,…
