My parents are usually more democratic, so based on the statistic that 85% of people share the politic ideas of their parents, I assumed that I would follow. I typically considered myself fairly moderate but more inclined to be liberal. Four brief political ideology quizzes supported my self-perception that I am in fact exactly what I thought that I was. I fell either in the middle or was slightly left on most tests making Post-Modern an apt description. I am very liberal on social issues and support the acceptance of gay marriage, abortion, the idea of diplomacy to prevent war, and continuation of immigration. My stances on economic issues are more conservative, and I support business with little government regulation. While I will believe that I will stay more liberal on social issues, my view of the economy and what the government should be involved in may change as I grow up and have more at stake in the system.
It's interesting to see how people fall in terms of political ideology. I found that Post-Modernism could apply to me too, although I suppose I'm more inclined to the Solid Liberal side. But then again, I also expected it, so I wasn't really surprised either.
ReplyDeleteAnd the parents thing is completely true. Since that's the environment you grow up in, then most of the time you adapt to those ideas.
