Let's start with some self discovery. We often go around claiming to have a specific political identity - liberal, conservative, or whatever - and we also justify that by claiming to know enough about the nature of events to make sensible decisions about this and that. But do we really have a full understanding of political terminology to peg our beliefs correctly? In other words - maybe you call yourself conservative, but your specific positions on political matters might tell a different story.
I want you to take the following two quizzes:
- Pew Research Center: The News IQ Quiz.
- Pew Research Center: Political Typology Quiz.
And then comment on them.
Have they confirmed or challenged your political orientation? Assuming you had one of course. And do you know as much about political affairs as you thought? Maybe you know more, maybe you know less. You're grade will be based on how comprehensive - and interesting - your comments are.
I want you to input you answer in BlackBoard.
Like all your answers, please make it at least 150 words long - and yes you can go over.
