AP Gov/ Politics
What is your political belief?
My political beliefs have become very dynamic over the years, considering that I am extremely interested in American politics and issues present in our society. The welfare crisis specifically is an issue that I have become interested in and taken a specific stance on it. In terms of morality, I believe that upper class members should sacrifice part of their wealth to help those less fortunate. However, I do not necessarily believe that it is wrong for those same upper class people to be reluctant to share their wealth, considering they are the ones who are earning the money. Three specific values that I believe every American should have the right to is the right to marry legally, the right to speak freely without fear of retribution/prosecution, and the right to vote. In terms of the right to marry legally, I have been raised as a person who thinks openly about love. I have been affected by people who are not in traditional relationships and I do not see the reason why people would be so reluctant to let marry who they want. In terms of having the right to speak freely, I believe that communication and speech is one of the most important aspects of a society because without it, problems would be left unsaid as well as unfixed. Speech is a very important part of revolution and change. Lastly, the right to vote is an important American right because without giving everyone an equal chance to vote and express their beliefs and desires, the political system would remain unbalanced and create an unhappy/unstable society.
