9.1 You will find that there are several factors (agents) that contribute to an
individual’s political socialization or political opinions, i.e., family, religion,
media, etc. After looking at all of the factors (agents) listed in the reading link(s),
choose 3 of the factors and tell me in a 1 to 1-1/2 page essay, how those factors
contributed to your personal political socialization.  First, however, provide me
with a definition of political socialization.  Remember, your essay should be
about you.
9.2 After reading about the two parties (Democratic and Republican), submit a
2 paragraph essay on why you think Americans lack confidence in either of
these parties getting anything done to benefit the American people?  If you
think either party will get anything done to benefit our society, tell me why or why
not. The paragraphs should be your opinion, not someone else’s opinion. So do
not copy and paste from the internet what someone else has said. I will know if
this is what you did through our plagiarism checker.
Submit these two essays together as one word document which means that you
should be submitting no less that 2 full double spaced pages.
