Kinsey Anderson-Political Ideology Extra Credit



According to the political compass quiz, my economic and social beliefs are left authoritarian. The quiz shows that my economic beliefs are approximately in the middle between conservative and liberal. I was surprised by this because my economic beliefs tend to be much more conservative. I think equal opportunity and equality are important, but I feel that extreme liberals go too far with equality. I disagree with the fact that people who are able to work, but choose not to are given money by the government. I also do not support the liberal idea of taxing the rich more in order to bring everyone more towards the center economically. I am not surprised that my social beliefs appear to be more conservative. I believe my conservative social ideology is rooted in my religious beliefs. I thought that economically and socially my beliefs would greatly be skewed towards the conservative side. Although my social beliefs were more on the conservative side than my economic beliefs, I find it interesting that both are not significantly conservative. Overall, I consider myself to have conservative economic and social beliefs.
