I believe that I have an open-minded political ideology. I was raised in a environment mixed with culture, varied political opinions and encouraged to think independently. Growing up, my parents did not force their political ideologies on me, but if they had, it would have been a wash, as both are on opposite points of the spectrum. I have traveled extensively, consider myself well-read, and constantly search for paradoxes. Consider me an Independent. I'm also very skeptical and critical of most politicians. I am taking this class because politics does interest me and it will be interesting to compare my current ideas after being forced to think possibly more critically throughout the semester to make the grade. I'm not totally proud of my quiz and current events test , though my scores were passing.
