POL 201 introduction

Post Your Introduction

Prepare: Prior to posting your introduction, read the two articles provided by the Pew Research Center on Political Typology: “ Key Facts from Pew Research’s Political Typology ” and “ Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology .” Next, take the Political Typology Quiz by clicking on “Begin Quiz” at the bottom of the web page. Respond to the questionnaire to get information about your political philosophy or ideology. Save your results for future reference in this course.

Reflect: Once you complete the quiz, look over the results and evaluate if they reflect your personal political beliefs and how accurate the quiz is at identifying your views on American politics.

Write: Post your two-paragraph introduction. In the first paragraph, tell a little about your personal and professional interests. In the second paragraph, describe your political philosophy based on the results of the Political Typology Quiz. If you disagree with the results, please discuss what you found inaccurate about the results and what you contend is your personal, political ideology.

Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least three classmates’ introductions. Compare and contrast your political ideology with your classmates’ political ideologies.
