Political Typology
How the Political Typology does, doesn’t describe me accurately
After looking at my results of the survey, seeing how they placed me and looking more into the category in which I was placed and believe it is very accurate. The survey marked me as a New Coalition Democrat, the definition of their party is strongly pro-government, upbeat about our country’s ability to solve problems through hard work, generally liberal on racial issues, hospitable to immigrants and very religious. Fifty six percent of the party is Democrats, thirty four percent, white thirty percent black and twenty six percent Latino; fifty five percent only have a high school education, twenty three percent are not registered to vote and fifty five percent are regular volunteer for charity.
The survey is mostly correct I do believe with hard work the government’s issues can be solved however I believe we the people should be responsible to work hard to get back on its feet not solely the government. I am very liberal on racial issues and believe no matter what color, race or sex everyone is entitled to the same opportunities, they should be allowed a decent education so they have the ability to make something of their selves if they use their resources. I am and have been very hospitable to immigrants feeling no threat from them and I do welcome them into my home as well as help them get onto their feet as they settle in America. I do fit into the religious and volunteer category as well. As to saying I’m pro-government I am yes and no. I take the side of John Locke I believe people do need to have people in power over them or we would live in chaos, but the person’s should have limited power in order to avoid anarchy. I think the government should avoid making many restrictions on what people can and cannot do, however I believe they have done right by putting a celling price and floor price on goods as well as stopping the monopoly system, though looking at them wanting to ban sodas

    After finishing the quiz, my Personal Score was 48% and my Economic Score was 32%. Then, my political philosophy results labeled me as a “Moderate Liberal Populist.” Upon reading more into the quiz results, I find that, since my Economic Score is below 40%, it meant that I “believe that a good society is best achieved by the government distributing wealth [and that] the government’s purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program” (ontheissues.org).…

    The party wants the government to implement immigration policies in accordance to the guideline that possible immigrants will be prevented from being accepted in America because of poor health, crime involvement or poverty. The members think that they will just present an unnecessary burden to America and its people. The party has always advocated for having a moratorium on long-term immigration (Kazin, 2009). Aside from this, the party does not believe that it is necessary to provide welfare subsidies to illegal immigrants. They do not believe that it is necessary to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and allow their kids to become American citizens in the end. They believe that the participation of the US troops is necessary to ensure that illegal immigrants are…

    My label assigned upon completing the quiz was Moderate Conservative which usually represent a mix of both liberal and conservative ideologies. Did you know that majority Americans classify themselves as Moderate Conservative because they are more moderate than conservative or liberal. The meaning that stands behind this label is that Moderate Conservative people strongly believe that the standards of morality and safety should be enforced by the government no matter what. Another belief is that each person should be responsible for there own financial matters, and that free-market competition is better for people than central planning by the government. However, unlike my representative Joaquin Castro who is a Libertarian-leaning Liberal, which is basically the opposite of myself. Mr. Castro believes in tolerance for different people and lifestyles. My representative also believes that a good society is best achieved by the government redistributing wealth and the governments purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on…

Suggestions for future studies in school shootings are explored.…
