0:00 hey everybody welcome back so some
0:02 people are liberal some are conservative
0:04 and others are libertarian have you ever
0:06 wondered why are you the way that you
0:08 are smash that like button and find
0:14 out in the previous video we talked
0:16 about Core US values focusing on areas
0:19 of broad agreement like rule of law
0:21 limited government individualism equal
0:23 opportunity and free enterprise these
0:25 principles serve as the Bedrock of
0:27 American political beliefs
0:28 distinguishing a uniquely American way
0:30 of looking at government and politics
0:33 but as we establish there's disagreement
0:35 and debate over what these values mean
0:37 and the best ways to achieve them this
0:39 is where political ideology comes in
0:41 we'll discuss political ideology a lot
0:44 more specifically in the back half of
0:45 the unit but for now let's define it as
0:48 a consistent set of ideas and beliefs
0:51 about the purpose and scope of
0:53 government what should the government be
0:54 doing or not doing and how much power
0:57 should it have the big three political
0:59 ideologies for apgov are in alphabetical
1:01 order conservatives liberals and
1:04 Libertarians check out video 4.7 for all
1:06 the details but what these lessons are
1:08 focused on is the process of a person
1:10 obtaining their particular political
1:12 ideology in fact that's basically the
1:14 definition of political socialization
1:17 it's the process through which
1:18 individuals acquire their political
1:20 beliefs in other words what leads one
1:23 person to becoming a traditional white
1:24 picket fence conservative while another
1:26 person becomes a freedom loving
1:28 libertarian and another is a progressive
1:31 liberal Marching for stronger gun
1:33 control policies is it nature or nurture
1:36 historically the most significant source
1:38 of political socialization is a person's
1:40 parents and family and the AP exam still
1:43 says that family is the number one
1:46 source I can't help but wonder if that's
1:48 changing and if social media and Tik Tok
1:50 might be replacing it but polling data
1:52 suggest that most high school students
1:54 share the ideology of their parents and
1:56 most of them still do once they become
1:57 adults other factors for social ization
2:00 include peers and schools additionally
2:02 religious organizations the media and
2:05 especially social media these days can
2:07 all influence a person's belief about
2:09 the appropriate size and scope of
2:12 government us political culture is the
2:14 widely shared core values democratic
2:16 ideals and principles about the
2:18 relationship between citizens and the
2:20 government the core values we discussed
2:22 previously are a hugely important part
2:24 of this like rule of law individualism
2:27 and the others Americans generally think
2:29 that democracy is a good thing and
2:31 support the ability of citizens to
2:33 influence governmental policies and want
2:35 the government to be responsive to the
2:38 people you might be wondering about
2:39 people from other countries and where
2:41 they fit into this and the fact is that
2:43 globalization influences us political
2:46 culture as well when most people think
2:48 of globalization they might think of
2:49 trading Goods internationally buying and
2:52 selling stuff factories moving overseas
2:55 that kind of thing but ideas and values
2:57 also cross borders Americans are both
2:59 both influenced by and influence the
3:02 values of other countries and This
3:04 Global exchange of ideas significantly
3:07 affects the political socialization of
3:09 Americans Americans seem to have
3:10 exported a love for free markets and
3:12 imported a taste for regulation and
3:14 government-run Healthcare next are two
3:16 factors that contribute to differences
3:18 in beliefs generational and life cycle
3:21 effects generational effects refer to
3:23 different voting patterns and political
3:25 beliefs across various Generations we're
3:28 thinking of gen Z Millennials Genex Baby
3:31 Boomers and even the silent generation
3:34 it turns out that the differences
3:35 between Generations goes beyond how they
3:38 use emojis and whether they stand Bad
3:40 Bunny Kanye Nirvana or the Beatles each
3:43 generation tends to be more liberal than
3:46 the previous one especially on social
3:48 issues if you see words like Baby
3:50 Boomers or Millennials on a test
3:52 question it's a good indication that
3:54 we're talking about generational effects
3:56 comparing people across Generations be
3:59 careful not to confuse this with life
4:01 cycle effects which suggests that people
4:03 focus on different issues at different
4:05 stages in life for example younger
4:07 voters might care more about a
4:09 candidate's proposal to reduce the cost
4:10 of college while a middle-aged voter
4:13 might focus more on tax rates and care
4:15 about child care tax credits and an
4:17 older voter might just focus on old age
4:19 programs like Medicare and Social
4:21 Security this isn't a generational thing
4:24 the important thing is where a person is
4:26 in their own life cycle and as people
4:29 age they priorities often shift young
4:31 people are typically big fans of freedom
4:33 and appreciate not being told what to do
4:36 but as people get older they often are
4:38 willing to trade some of that freedom in
4:40 exchange for more security and I guess
4:43 that makes sense they probably have more
4:45 to lose so they want their stuff
4:47 protected and if they have a kid they
4:49 probably want it to be safe and lastly
4:51 topic 4.4 points out that major
4:53 political events that occur during young
4:55 adulthood have a substantial influence
4:58 on our political attitudes and beliefs
5:01 whether it's the Revolutionary protest
5:02 movements of the 1960s the
5:04 transformative impact of 9/11 or
5:06 experiencing co9 and the associated
5:09 government experiments with
5:10 authoritarianism these events at an
5:12 impressionable age can leave an
5:14 indelible mark on our political
5:16 ideologies shaping them far into the
5:18 future to be clear the event of person
5:21 experiences doesn't determine how it
5:23 will influence their ideology take 911
5:26 for example for one young person living
5:28 through it it might lead to tense
5:29 feelings of nationalism and patriotism
5:32 and may lead to them becoming more
5:33 conservative as they support a stronger
5:36 National Defense to prevent such events
5:39 while another person may see the
5:40 excesses of policies like the Patriot
5:42 Act and it may lead to them becoming
5:44 more libertarian and opposed to the
5:46 coercive powers of the government and
5:48 yet another person may see the horrors
5:50 of the wars on terror in Iraq and become
5:52 more liberal opposing the US's foreign
5:55 policy all right that's it for this one
5:57 until next time this has been
