Political Spectrum

2 page essay

Using the attachment of a completed political spectrum test with its results, write a 2-page double spaced report explaining:

1. What part of the different political spectrums you fell on.

2. Based upon this, what party do you think you most closely associate with?

3. Do you think the results are accurate? Why or why not?

4. Why do you believe the way you do in one of these spectrums it tests on?

To help you with this assignment, I’ve provided a description of the different spectrums it tests you on. Here are some links to get a good description of each: http://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/poli-compare-part…

– Authoritarian v. libertarian – This tests you on the social scale. Authoritarian means you expect large government control in one’s social life. Libertarian means you expect a large amount of individual control in one’s social life.

– Left v. Right – This tests you on the economic scale. Left means you expect a large amount of government control or regulation in economic affairs. Right means you expect a small amount of government control or regulation in economic affairs.

* Keep in mind this will place you into different quadrants. Here is a description of the categories along with an example of who might fall in these quadrants.

+Authoritarian left – State imposed communism/socialism.

+Libertarian left – modern liberal (democrat).

+Authoritarian right – modern conservative (republican)

+Libertarian right – libertarian (small government, period).

– Non-interventionist v. neo-conservative – This tests you on foreign policy. Non-interventionists are pacifists and anti-war activists. Neo-cons are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world.

SHOULD BE A MINIMUM OF TWO PAGES!!!! NO LESS THAN 2 PAGES AND NO PLAGIARISM! WILL BE TURNED IN ON TURNITIN.COM!!!
