The World's Smallest Political Quiz Analysis

Improved Essays
In the past government was never a prevalent matter on my mind. As I began to grow up and enter high school I could see the effect it had on my life and began taking an interest in government matters that I soon became passionate about. My political beliefs have continued to broaden through this term of US Government. I now believe that it is important to have something to say and a matter of opinion towards your government. Recently I have taken three surveys, The World's Smallest Political Quiz, Are you a Socialist or Capitalist, and the Political Party Quiz. From the results I have concluded that in all most situations I am classified as a liberal democrat. I believe that all people should have the right to make their own decisions when …show more content…
I received a personal issues score of ninety percent, an economic issues score of ninety percent, and that I am a libertarian. The survey’s findings seem accurate and I agree with all of them. With in their summary of a libertarian they mentioned that they advocate for smaller government, individual responsibility, defend civil liberties, and support diverse communities. All of of which I feel strongly about. Another national issue I hold close to my heart is a woman’s undeniable right to choose whether or not she wants an abortion. I do not believe that anyone, of any authority has the right to make that decision for her, because it is her body, therefore her right and choice to do what she wants no matter the circumstances. A world issue I am passionate about is global warming. The fact that educated people with authority like our current president, Donald Trump, do not “believe in it” baffles me. It is not a hypothesis or a guess about the future, it is becoming the present and there is evidence all around us. People can not continue to turn a blind eye to the situation at hand, nations must work together to help protect our environment from the doom from which we have inflicted upon it. This survey had very accurate findings about my political beliefs, but if the test was longer it could have expanded …show more content…
I answered a few questions used to determine my ideology and the result was exactly as I expected, a liberal democrat. Which follows along with my previous results from the prior surveys. There was a line graph ranging from far liberal democrats to far conservative republican. My score was all the way to the far left aas far away from republican as possible. Although I am not eighteen yet I do know which party I will claim. I will claim independent because even though my almost all my views tend to stray to the left I would never choose a candidate just because they were in my party. Voting should always be based on the candidate and their beliefs, nothing else should sway your opinion. As soon as I become eighteen it is my civic duty to research the candidates for the upcoming election and vote not matter what because I know that my one vote can make a difference. This survey was accurate about my beliefs but not voting

    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.…

Also, how consistent and strong are these attitudes vary by person.

    This could cause them to respond randomly and skew results. Another weakness in this poll was the sample of students that were surveyed. Although I was able to survey a graduate student, the rest of my respondents were undergraduates. The age difference could possibly affect the way the students responded. If I were to conduct this poll again, I would take the time to explain what the electoral college is and how it works, in an unbiased manner, to the students I was surveying so that they would be able to provide a more knowledgeable response.…

    According to the Pew Ideology Poll I am classified under the category of Solid Liberals, along with about 65% of my classmates. When I analyze my views with the pew typology profiles I find that most of my views align with the secular democrat profile. My political opinions are strongly driven by social issues, I am not very religious, I am very pro-environment, I support government to the extent that it functions efficiently and is not manipulated by money and power. These views on politics are nearly identical to secular democratic views and not very similar to any other voter classification. (Brem, R. 47)…

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 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 formation for the government of the United States has been a rough process packed with regulations, restrictions and expansions to serve for the good of its people. The journey started with the Articles of Confederation, which attempted to unify the largely sovereign states following the American Revolution. After the Articles failed to govern or provide for U.S. citizens, the Constitution was triumphally ratified to allow a balanced central government successfully lead the nation. The rights of citizens were increasingly protected through the Bill of Rights, new laws and future Amendments. Today, many citizens are split between several political beliefs, essentially pondering or protesting over how much power our government should possess.…
