Political Socialization Analysis

Throughout my life many things have played a role in my political socialization views. My most important political socialization comes from my family. The way I was brought up, with religion, beliefs, education and morals have contributed to all my political views. The way a person is brought up has a large impact in how you view things in perspective.
One of the my first political socialization encounters started in the early 1980’s. This was the year that my parents and I came to the United States, on a vacation. Before coming to the United States, we were living in Monterrey, Mexico, the city where I was born. In the early 1980’s, it was the decade of growth with job opportunities. In the 80’s, former president Ronald Reagan was a

My beliefs are more on the conservative side. I feel strongly on many issues, education, abortion, finance and taxes. In this year election there is so much chaos, division among people, tension, narcissism and authoritarian movements, that’s scares me of what the future in America holds for me and my children.
