parental political views altering after having kidz??

i believe that children do mold their political beliefs after what their parents believe, but also once the child gets older their political views expand and they become more capable of making their own decisions and seeing what they believe should be done, but at the same time your political views all depend on how you were raised and that what you experience throughout life can alter how you think about certain things, resulting in what you think could benefit the economy.

on the note about parents changing their views once they have sons or daughters, its understandable that if a father were to have a daughter they would have a more sympathetic political status. reading that article brought no surprise to me, in fact while i was reading it the whole thing about "the most obvious things are the most hidden" kept running through my head.. as for mothers having more sons and thinking more on the "male" perspective, thats understandable too. i mean if you think about it, when you have a kid, all you care about is your children. your children come before anything else in life, ya know??

so say if a father who had no children had 2 or 3 daughters, i would expect them to become more accepting of the "female" political aspect considering they're children are female, and they will be around them all the time, and considering that its their CHILDREN [like i said before your children come before anything in most cases], it's more than likely that the father will expand their views to a more empathetic views as a pose to what they would've thought before. same goes vice versa with the mother.

overall, for my answer i'd say it's about equal for the first 18 years of the child's life, but then once the child grows up and matures and learns more about the balance of political pros and cons to various views, i'd say the kid would have a larger impact on the parental figures political views considering they're still the parent's children....

  1. This is an outstanding response. Very mature. Well organized. Strong writing. Charlie, if you can keep this up, we can try to work something out for a partial credit. Blog 2-3 times per day until the end of the term and we'll see what can happen:)
