Your Political Socialization

Political socialization begins young. Think about conversations around politics when you were in primary
school (around age 10). Maybe there was a natural disaster in your area such as a hurricane and government

through family members and friends? How were you politically socialized as a child? Use evidence (cite
sources) to support your response from assigned readings or online lessons, and at least one outside scholarly
source
