Political Spectrum

In our society, people align themselves with either two political sides. The one side is Conservative, while the other side is Liberal. In between Conservative and Liberal, there are those who are slightly, but not entirely Conservative or Liberal. However, in between both the slightly Conservative and slightly Liberal are ones who are in between both. The side in between is known as, "Middle Of The Road", which have political viewpoints from both sides. On opposing sides of Conservative and Liberal, there are extremely Conservative and extremely Liberal. Individuals who don't know where they align politically are stated as, "Don't Know".


In the states of Massachusetts and Minnesota, Liberal candidates are commonly elected for political roles in those states. While in the states of Indiana and Texas it is more common for Conservative candidates to be elected political roles in those states. Political characteristics transition in our society, from being more liberal in the 1960's to being more conservative in the 1980's.  According to history Jewish Americans and African Americans have Liberal political preferences. Asian Americans, however, have more Conservative political preferences.


People with Conservative viewpoints look for archived wisdom passed on by endless generations that have found solutions for issues that they are facing in the present.  Liberals, however believe people should have independence from the past to make solutions, and guidelines on how to live. Conservatives favor the traditions of family and religion, while liberals favor the respect of an individual's rights and equality within society. People who prefer extreme viewpoints in either a Conservative or Liberal style want to change society in a strong way to establish simplicity. To conclude this essay,  conservatives believe in tradition, while liberals believe in adjusting society for a change. Therefore, one must choose where they reside politically.
