Why do you think you are the political person you are?

THis is an outline of what is needed for my paper. I need a college level written paper . I also need an A. The topic of our first project is political socialization. Chapter 6 and the beginning of Chapter 9 of our book discusses the political beliefs held by Americans and how we acquire them (political socialization). The purpose of this assignment is to help you further define your own political personality, and then to think about how you became the “political person” that you are in a typed paper of 2-5 pages. 1. In the first part of the paper I would like you to try to identify and discuss your core political beliefs. You may already have a good idea of where you stand politically. There are also internet sites designed to help you place yourself ideologically. Some use a simple scale of liberal to conservative. Others are more complex.a. The first site is http://www.idealog.org/. This site is the web page for a textbook on American Government written by Janda, Berry and Goldman. By selecting JAVA under IDEAlog in the left column of their homepage you can take a self-test by answering a series of questions designed to help you identify your ideological perspective. Be sure to go through the introduction and tutorial before you take the self-test. After completing the questions, the program will also tell you the ideological placement of the average person who has taken the survey on-line, as well as the American public. Ensure that you discuss the quiz in your paper and what it said about you.b. A similar quiz called the “World’s Smallest Political Quiz” is sponsored by the Libertarian party and can be found at self-gov.org or if that doesn’t work, try http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz-score/quiz.php. Try these quizzes after you have thought about your political views. What were the results? Were the results similar? Do you agree with them? Why or why not? Again, ensure that you discuss the quizzes in your paper and what they said about you. 2. Why do you think you are the political person you are? 3. In the second part of the project you will apply the general concepts of political socialization to your own life. Assess your own experiences with politics and compare them with the theoretical material in the readings. Where do you think your core beliefs about politics come from? Do the theories of political socialization discussed in the notes or in the text seem to apply to you? Consider for example: What is your earliest political memory? Do you share your parents’ political opinions in whole or in part? What other influences were important in your own political socialization (school, friends, significant events, etc.)? How did any of these influences shape your development? 4. If you’re already thinking that there are few or no issues that you care about, think about that as well. How would you explain why this is the case? 1. Please submit your paper to the Smarthinking prior to submitting your paper. 2. All papers are required to use MLA formatting: Paper set up MLA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xAc4yZ8VSAPlease use Smarthinking. If this link does not work, please follow these directions:
