IntroductionA seventh grade student goes to school on a Friday morning. During his usual routine, he witnesses a group of students chanting derogatory gay or homosexual phrases while throwing a child into their circle. To the seventh grader, this tortured child did nothing wrong, and this fact alone constitutes an intervention. Just like this child's thoughts about bullying, political opinions are generated by people who do not understand what is happening, but who can gauge the value of discussion within the group. In the student example, this seventh grader is formulating his opinion on an issue that doesn't involve him, but that somehow calls to mind. He may have been influenced by his family and was taught that bullying is wrong. His teachers may have taught him that “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is the golden rule. Or perhaps the child is extremely profound in morality and wise beyond his years. These reasons why he generated a position are essential to understanding fact-free political opinion. When people choose to sit outside the political battlefield and comment on the political war, the events and influences on their lives provoke thoughts and therefore can generate a personal political opinion. Family “My dad is an Aggie, so I must be an Aggie.” As ridiculous as this statement may be, it is a recurring theme in the development of political opinion. As discussed in Professor Shaw's lecture, there is a correlation with personal political views and parents' political views (Shaw, 2014). A child's ideology is often related to a parent's ideology, an example that is most evident with Republican father figures, though it doesn't completely rule out the issue... at the heart of the card... that it's about. Nonfactual political opinions are opinions based on how you believe an issue should be viewed. Allows a mix of facts and opinions; what is correct according to data and what is correct according to morality. If the United States became overwhelmingly Republican, would it be a problem for our seventh-grader to support gay marriage after learning that the boy he saved from bullies was the reason the student's mother chose a heart donor? I would like the facts to prove it. Conclusion Family, personal experience and religion are channeled into political socialization (Shaw, 2014). This is the end result of all the factors that influence an individual's perspective and what the individual will have to say about a political issue. When the time comes to express an opinion, political socialization will be where factors are evaluated, weighed, and fused to form political opinion.
