The article that I red this week was discussing and comparing liberal and conservative beliefs and views. The main beliefs of the liberal party is to have everyone equal and equality for all, they also believe that this will be achieved by a huge help from the government. In the eyes of the liberal party they think the government should be there to solve and take care of everyone's problems and to guarantee that no one is in need. The conservative party is totally different. In the eyes of conservatives they see that you should work hard and achieve your own goals. They see that the government should have a limited role and be there only to provide civilians with the freedom to pursue their needs. Another big belief for conservatives is to continue the traditional American values and to have a strong national defense. Conservatives have been known to be more independent and to do things on their own, and solve their own problems and reach their own goals. This topic relates to what we have been recently working on in class, currently we are talking about political parties and are creating our owns in groups. We have also been talking the two party system in the United states and third party systems. On this particular subject I agree with the conservative points and views more than the liberals. I myself enjoy accomplishing my goals without help and like doing things on my own without being dependent on others.

This article discussed quick and easy ways to become more politically active. Politics and elections are easy to stay away from and avoid, they are negative, cause problem, cause diversity within the country, and seen to some difficult to do or their voice doesn't count. The first easy step you need to do is have your own paperwork and to be organized with when you vote, where, and what time. Also it is important to have all the necessary paper work for voting. The next step is to get involved and encourage others to vote in general or to vote for a candidate,  happy persuasion is contagious. The next step is to get involved within your local area and know the news and what the local system are and how they work. Another important factor to be more politically active is to support your candidate with more than vote and you can do that by campaigning, fundraising, and devoting time. This will get his or her name out and have them looked at more. The last step is to start soon and be prepared for upcoming elections. The early months of the elections are the most important and crucial because that is when the campaigning more active and abroad. This topic and article has to do with our current Ap Gov. class because we have been talking about political participation and how numbers have changed many different times and how important voting is. My position on this article is strong, I am very into politics and feel that if you have an opinion and share it and are able to vote you have to or need to vote for your argument or statement to be valid
