What is Political Socialization? It is public opinion, attitudes and beliefs. Where do they come from? It is developed throughout your lifetime. Definition: Political Socialization is a process in which you learn attitudes and beliefs of government and officials.
There are various stages of Political Socialization: Pre-school (ages 2-4), Early Childhood (ages 5-8), Late Childhood (9-11) and Adolescence (12-17). Pre-school kids develop certain basic attitudes, beliefs and a sense of nationalism and identity. Kids in this stage can recognize the U.S. Flag. They can also recognize higher authority such an adult in charge or police officers. In the Early Childhood stage kids can recognize the personalization of government such as holidays; Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Barbara Jordan. By age 8 kids can recognize what party they are, Republican or Democrat, by simply asking their parents.

I found this when I asked my fourth question to my interviewees.
It wasn’t until I was 18 that I participated in voting in the 2000 presidential election. I was a student and a full time employee. I think the more educated I got the more I was interested in the world, the world that I had to participate in to make a difference not only for myself but everyone around me. The candidate that I vote for actually won, and the feeling of just knowing that I participated in something that was very important. I still try to keep myself up to date on what’s happening in the world.
Finally I asked my Interviewees if the people they hang out withy share their same beliefs and values. The reaction I got was a resounding “yes”. I found that people with similar beliefs and opinions about the world tend to stay together. I have found from my experiences that all of my frie
