Politics and parents

Who do you think shapes the other more powerfully and permanently- kids impacting parents or the other way around?


Okay as most of you know from just being around me in the time of year when elections roll around. I am on the right side of things. Yep a republican deal with it, And this article actually kinda pissed me off. I'm not the usual one to point out things such as sexism but my god this article is riddled with it.. Examples : "become more sympathetic to the ‘female’ desire for a… larger amount for the public good." so when is it a females desire for public good? "a mother with sons becomes sympathetic to the ‘male’ case for lower taxes and a smaller supply of public goods" so what males dont care about the public good now??
and so forth there are a couple of things. but i mean since when are females more liberal?? And in the original question no i don't think Children influence there parents more i think the parents influence the children more BC seeing and hearing there parents political views and knowledge and lack there of imprints or becomes just how it is too kids. Kids might talk a lot about politics and blah blah blah but they just don't know a lot, The media and such influences THEM a lot and swerves there views. parents are not so easily swayed at times by the media.

I find your critique pointed and passionate. I like that you deconstruct the article and analyze where it may rely on stereotypes. I also like that you try to fairly analyze people your age and their tendencies.
