PEW Typology

You have already taken the quiz as part of the lesson this week; now, tell the class about your results and what they mean. What is your ideological placement? Then, analyze why you believe the results or do not believe the results. Do these results reflect your voting record? Use evidence (cite sources) to support your response from assigned readings or online lessons, and at least one outside scholarly source.

I am not at all surprised by the results I got from the PEW political typology quiz; I am a solid liberal. Although I have been a liberal most of my adult life, I think I became more aware of my stand from the events that unrolled last year- the Black Lives Matter movement and the chaotic presidential campaigns. The country has never in recent times been as polarized as it was, and I must admit, the more the other side pulled, the clearer it became to me that our country needs radical change. Our assignment writing help is at affordable prices to students of all academic levels and academic disciplines.

In the quiz, I stated that the country’s economic system unfairly favors the rich; they ought to be taxed higher than they currently are rather than getting perks that trickle down as cost to the citizens and unfathomable profits for individuals at the top of the food chain. I also believe that the government regulation of business is necessary to protect the public interest. Further, I believe that poor people have hard lives because government benefits don’t go far enough to help them live decently. If the government had bigger tax brackets for the rich cooperatives and these were used equitably to meet the needs of the poor, then the government would indeed be doing a better job than it is given credit for (Whitman, 2020).

Another area I am passionate about is the systemic racial discrimination in our country. I believe that the Black Lives Matter matches were a strong wake-up call for the government and perpetrators of racism to realize that gone are the days when brutality against people of color would make it to the news and be forgotten a few days later. Today, racism is treated with the concern that it should, globally and not just in the US. Today, a colored person knows that any discrimination against self would be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly (Tesler, 2020; Daley, 2021). So yes, I agree with the results of the quiz that I am a solid liberal.
