Political Ideology....You probably need one.

  -A political identiy is an interesting thing. It is the very identity we are given that determins what we beleive in, in terms of politics. We all find a political identity a some point in our lives. I sat down and had a converation with someone I greatly admired, to understand what her political ideals meant to not only her, but of those around her.

  On a friday afternoon, I sat down with Angelica Brisk. A Daughter, a Wife, Teacher, Mother and progressive. Angelica was born in Argintena of March 25, 1969. As a child, she moved to the United states. She was raised and is part of Generation X, but she would like people to know that this is not the reason she involved herself into politics. She grew up in Argentina then later emigrated to the United States with her family family. As a teenager she knew that there were things in this world that were wrong and things that needed questioning, like the presidency of both Ronald Reagan And Richard Nixon, the unfair and inequality of people in this country and the high rise of education and tuition.

  In my interview, Angelica was more than ecstatic about someone interviewing her about politics. She wanted me to know that she is a Progressive when it comes to politics. Angelica doesn't focus on anyone issue. She focused on many along with her husband. Issues like heath care and the education system are just the few. They focus on these issues because, they see a need to be vocal about these topics and to fight for them For those who are unaware, a Progressive, while a famous car insurance company, is someone who's has a philosophy for social reform and economical reform, and generally oppose the side of the conservative.

  As i said before, Angelica was heavily influenced by what she saw wrong in the world. She look at what was clearly wrong and sought to help stop it. When the topic of a leader was bought up, she explained to me that when she look for a leader, she looks at the youth. She looks at them as leaders of this world. she looks for those who are motivated, caring and have a heart for change. She has a strong belief that while there are leader like Presidents, she strongly believes that they would be nothing without our support.

  I learned a new respect for Angelica and for politics. Today's youth dose not have the same love for politics as did those before us. We need to stop thinking change can not come. If we allow our procrastination to take over us joining politics, we are then puppets who obey orders. Society has many things wrong with it, and people are angry, but it means nothing if we don't take action. I hope you have all enjoyed this article. If you would like to hear the interview, then just click on the link provided bellow. It's not my best interview, but I hope you will all enjoy the plethora of what Angelica knows. And if your reading thin Angelica, thank you for bringing me into politics. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.



These are additional questions I had for Angelic during our interview:
  -How do you feel about politics in today's society?
  -What is you opinion on the idea of media bias and is it something that is true?
  -How dose your family feel about your political view and what are their owns?
  -What is your take on topics like that of the education system?
  -What do you think will happen in the near future for American society?

  1. Peter,

    Great job! I like how you summed up her opinions and I am very pleased to see that you recorded the interview and uploaded it! Great sound quality! I love sound cloud!

    This is excellent work. I would like to see some more specific info about her views on particular topics. Your blog gives a more general overview of her sentiment.

    I like the fact that I can hear all of your questions. Please also include them on your blog, as instructed. I will give your credit for the soundcloud link, but other professors may want you to stick to the directions... just a heads up.
