Political typology
Political typology relates to the categorization of individuals to particular political positions based on their beliefs and attitudes. After taking the typology quiz, the results obtained from my answers were as follows: 32%, 40%, 76%,80%,94%,57%, 76%, 61%, 62%, 7%, 57%, 67%, 54%, 99%, 79% and 76% respectively. This made up the 12% representation of Opportunity Democrats in the general population. These scores, in essence, implied that I best fit in the group of Opportunity Democrats.
From the results, we have liberalistic positions towards most aspects such as immigration, homosexualism, and the environment. We have strong beliefs in success through hard work. Also, we fully support the foreign policies made by the United States of America. We are less perceptional on obstruction in the structural set-ups facing black people and women. These make us unique from other democrat groups. Among other standing points, these make me believe in the scores obtained.
In my view, the former President, Barack Obama, would best fit in identifying the political orientation identity. First, his win and election as the first African-American President of the United States. Second, he made history as the first African-American to occupy the White House, breaking the conception that the whites would only live in it. Thirdly, democracy promotion roles during his reign and foreign policy establishment through his values are also vital. The other aspect he had is the flexibility to change. For instance, during his reign, he terminated the long war in Iraq and closure of the Guantanamo Bay, among other alterations that benefited the U.S society.
An idea that could be common between us would be bringing racism to a total halt in the U.S. With the continual discrimination of individuals and minority groups, progress could stagnate. Following President Donald Trump’s reign that thought to act as a racial backlash against Obama’s presidency, ending racism could be a bold move in the United States of America.
