Document Summary
Political socialization: process of personal and background traits influencing views about politics and government. Weaker in political orientation: lack of communication with parents, high divorce rates make children unlikely to vote with parents, democratization of information (easy access to news), dual-income families (de-nuclearization of families) People don"t understand how we have billions of combinations in our genes (e. g. people with this genetic marker voted and people with another genetic marker didn"t vote meaningless) Correlation: relationship between two things; two things happening at the same thing. E. g. catholic might affect your views on abortion, but might not affect your views on tax cuts. Big events you experience in your life affect your political views. E. g. 2008 global recession you will act in different ways in politics and finance. Men concerned more about broad economic issues; women concerned more about. Men increasingly republican since the mid-1960s household finance. Men: government should be smaller and take on smaller things.
