political essay

What is your political ideology (or ideologies, if you have a combination of ideologies)? Explain your most important beliefs and values, categorizing them according to the mainstream political ideologies, and evaluate how consistent they are with each other. You may illustrate your ideological positions by your support (or not) of particular issues associated with those positions. Please note: While a number of political positions and issues have become closely associated with the positions that have generally been taken by one or other of the American political parties, not all those who support a particular party necessarily support an issue associated with the party (eg. \”a pro-life\” position on the issue of birth control has many adherents in the Republican party, but not all those who identify themselves as Republicans support such a position). Thus, the political ideology a person has can often be different from the values or issues espoused by the political party they are affiliated to or to those of other supporters of that party. However, differences such as these might be an interesting aspect to explore about yourself and your beliefs in your essay. requirements are clearly listed on the attachment.  No plagiarism please!!
