Thinking about the concept of political socialization discussed in the video, briefly tell the class about your own experiences. While doing so, what are/were a few key influences in your own life? How do those influences of parents, religious leaders, teachers etc affect your views (or not) on governments and politics? Please discuss your viewpoint on a specific issue. Please relate your viewpoint to a specific political party. Which political party dominates Texas politics? How does that influence state policies and what does that mean for the people in Texas?
