Agents Of Political Socialization Analysis
Chapter five discusses the agents of political socialization; explain which one has the greatest impact on you, which one has the least impact on you.

Both my parents are independents; and I used to identify myself as independent. However, I believe school was the political socialization agent that has had the greatest impact in my judgments and decisions related to politics. This process began in my country, Venezuela, there I learned about world and Venezuelan history, patriotism, symbols, basic institutions and values of politics in school.
I was always taught to stand for my principles and beliefs. Therefore, from seven to twelve grades I got involved with my schools' Student Government Group. At that time, I was able to make a

    Betsy Devos Leadership Style

    As a child growing up, I've always aspired to reach every goal that I had, and speak my mind when I have something that is needed to be said. Within the past two to three years I have learned to grow out of my shell and speak up with love, against hatred. But I've come to realize that leaders that we have in our country are a concern to me and to many other children who are growing up in the United States. Under the current administration, I have began to learn what its like to be a leader and what to do and what not to do. President Trump and his administration, more specifically Betsy DeVos, have concerned many students and parents around the country. DeVos, her ideas for Education reform, and her (and Trump's) lack of leadership among our country have become a concern for many teens and young adults in America.…

    Pros And Cons Of Being A Democrat Or Republican

    I do not specifically identify with democrat or republican. I think that both parties have some good things on their agenda and there are also things that I don’t agree with personally, that are on both the democratic and republican agenda. With that being said I would like to consider myself an Independent. I think it’s common for people of my age (19) to not fully commit to one party.…

    Chapter 10 Political Socialization

    1) Government officials pay close attention to public opinion polls and other measures of public opinion because of several reasons. First of all, public opinion polls represent an opportunity for government officials to view a snapshot of public opinion. Secondly, public opinion polls allow government officials to see the attitudes of individuals regarding political subjects. Even though Government officials pay close attention to public opinion poll, most politicians deny that they pay any attention to polls because they believe that public opinion polls do not reflect the real opinion of the public.…

    Personal Narrative: My Political Perspective

    My political viewpoint has changed dramatically since I was first introduced to politics. I come from a democratic family, where it is strongly believed that it is the government’s responsibility to care for all people and that the government knows what is best for all people. Every voting season, my parents vote for a democratic president and explain to me the reasoning behind their decision. It was not until I was in the tenth grade that I realized that I did not hold the same political beliefs as my parents. After taking several political quizzes and extensively researching the bevy of political parties, I now know that I am an independent. What is an independent? An independent is an individual politician not affiliated to any political…

    Politics in the 1920s and 1930s

    In high school I was aware of politics, but didn’t really know much about it. I was a self-described Libertarian without honestly knowing much of the issues in detail. Around the time of the campaign for the 2008 general election I started to make a point of paying attention to political issues. I would listen to talk radio and watch online news media. The more I would learn the more I would question the views that I held. Eventually I came to change my views, quite radically. Just after the election of Barack Obama I would say I was a self-described socialist, though I’m not much of a fan of labels.…

    Compare and Contrast John Locke and Thomas Hobbes

    John Locke and Thomas Hobbes were two main political philosophers during the seventeenth century. Hobbes is largely known for his writing of the “Leviathan”, and Locke for authoring "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding." Included in their essays, both men discuss the purpose and structure of government, natural law, and the characteristics of man in and out of the state of nature. The two men's opinion of man vary widely. Hobbes sees man as being evil, whereas Locke views man in a much more optimistic light. While in the state of nature and under natural law, they both agree that man is equal. However, their ideas of natural law differ greatly. Hobbes positions himself with the view that the state of nature is a state of war where every man is for himself and loyalty to another being will only bring dismay. Contrastingly, Locke sees natural law and the state of nature as a place of equality and freedom for all. Locke therefore believes that government is necessary in order to preserve natural law, and on the contrary, Hobbes sees government as necessary in order to control natural law.…

    Personal Narrative: My SGA President

    I became confident because the student government members are all about positivity. No matter how many or what mistakes I made, they built me up. Becoming the president changed my whole perspective on the students at our school. I realized that sometimes the way we make ourselves seem to others, isn’t always who we really are. I used to pretend I didn’t have any worries but it became tiring to keep things to myself all the time when I didn’t have to. I’ve gotten the pleasure to meet many student government members who have turned my life around and shocked me. It taught me to never hesitate to go out of the way to do things for people because they will appreciate it even if their pride won’t let them show it. Sometimes saying a small, yet nice compliment or giving someone a part of your lunch can make their whole week. I don’t know peoples stories and it’s not my place to assume anything. Having fifty members under me has made me understand that in more ways than I can think of. Being a part of this association hasn’t just made me a better person, it made me into who I am today. Someone who is always optimistic and always willing to try again and again even when it seems like all else has…

    What Is Qualitative Longitudinal Research?

    Longitudinal Qualitative Research is a relatively recent development which has yet to be fully articulated as a coherent methodology (Neale & Flowerdew, 2003:189), although examples of this style of research can be traced back several decades. There are few books which deal with it in any depth (although see Saldana, 2003). In this essay I am going to; outline longitudinal qualitative research (QLR); address the main features of it; provide an outline of its strengths and weaknesses; describe its advantages over other forms of research styles; and provide an exemplar of a study which employed QLR research design.…

    Political Socialization In The United States

    One way citizens can become political socialized is through their families. Most people’s initial political voice derives from their family’s political orientation. Whichever way your family swings, there is a good chance you will vote that way as well. If you grow up hearing their political thoughts in favor of one side, chances are, you will retain that information and stay in that political orientation. For instance, if your family is Republican and very pro-second amendment—right to bear arms—you will probably walk away as a…

    Describe the Agents of Socialization

    Agents of socialization are social groups that help shape our identities. They are important to help us find our place in society and understand who we are as individuals. The family is the most important social agent in our lives. It is the first influence for us in the beginning and has a direct impact on how we view the world, our morals, values, and our beliefs. The family provides our basic human needs of food, clothing, shelter, and love. These factors are vital for our growth and development. Because of the strong bond that is shared with family we tend to place more value their opinion of us over others (Vissing, 2011, Chapter 2.4).…
