Political Ideology Paper- Write a three page, double spaced paper in which you explain
the factors that impacted the development of your political ideology. Pay close attention
to race, religion and socio-economic status. You may include other factors such as gender
and region, that the book also mentions. The purpose of this assignment is to get you to
think critically about how your political ideology developed. You could begin with a
discussion of what you should be, republican or democrat, according to the statistics
mentioned in the book (i.e. Latino, Catholic, from a working class family…probably a
democrat), then discuss whether or not you are consistent with the statistics. Why or why
not? A paper that merely talks about your political beliefs without an explanation of how
they came about and relate to who you are, is NOT what the assignment is asking for.
Always connect your beliefs to some part of your profile! Relevant chapters in the Sabato
and O’Connor test are: Chapter 11 (political socialization) and Chapter 12 (party
identification).  Any paper shorter than three full pages will be docked points!
Papers may be submitted to me via CANVAS.
