Personality VS Political Behavior

The issue of voting should be handled diplomatically, but it appears


that not everyone agrees. Rather than accept that others hold differing
beliefs, we would rather go to battle with our friends and family. People tend
to feel that your vote determines who you are as a person. People who
disagree with one side or the other are given titles by society. The question
is, why does having an opinion influence your personality? Whom one may
and cannot be friends with should not be determined simply by their beliefs.
We have our own ideology and we're costless to pick out what we
fancy and for my part, our political opinions do now no longer outline our
persona due to the fact they are distinct from within. Individuality refers to
an internal, or psychological, structure that influences patterns in a person's
actions and expressed attitudes. Researchers linked personality to traits
such as temperament and values, but the majority of the scholarly focus
has been on individual differences in qualities, or general behavioral and
attitudinal inclinations. For example, As a society, we allow individuals to
practice their religion openly. We don't mind if you practice Catholicism,
Judaism, or any other religious beliefs. Somebody might believe in a
different God than you, but society does not call their character into
question. Citizens are pro-abortion rights and anti-abortion rights. That
does not make them good or bad people. It merely qualifies them as a
person with an opinion. Why can't all politics be like this? like many others,
judge others based on how they treat us or how we perceive their character
based on their actions.
Apart from this, those personality traits are the sole explanation as to
why some citizens fulfill basic civic duties, such as staying current and
voting, while others do not. Experts studied personality to understand why
some people in the same economic and political situation have diverse
political views and behavior. In addition, accounting for personality's
consistent influence can shed light on the potency of environmental factors
and other individual-level characteristics that do evolve. So why are so
many young people proclaiming that our political views are based on
personalities even if they have very little understanding of what is going on
in democracy? We must deduce that they are simply disseminating
untrustworthy sources of misinformation to claim to be intellectuals. A
person's worth should not be determined by who they vote for or what they
believe. The way a person treats others reveals their true character.
On the other hand, We can't go inside someone's head and detect
extraversion. Instead, personality is measured indirectly, with general
patterns of thought and deed believed to be related to various components
of personality. A second important point to remember is that personality
endures and is highly heritable. Because personality is heritable, much of
the variation in personality between individuals can be traced back to
biology (e.g., Riemann, Angleitner, & Strelau, 1997). To a large extent, we
are born with the proclivity to be sociable reliable, and so forth. Information
is undoubtedly the lifeblood of democracy, and it plays a vital role in any
meaningful discussion of civilian professionalism. Citizens must seek out
objective forms of political news, a process that information diligently and
objectively, draws on that information when forming judgments about
policies and elected officials, and, ideally, use that information as the
starting point for political discussions with their fellow citizens if they are to
make the kinds of high-quality decisions that foster political accountability.
Of course, we all know that not all citizens are equal when it comes to the
completion of these tasks The question is whether personality differences
account for some of the differences we see in media use, political
knowledge, and political discussion patterns.
One focus of the paper is to deliver the concept of applied studies on
personality and politics in the hope that readers will consider the value of
such research in both reflective and innovative ways. However, a
secondary, and perhaps more important, goal is to place personality within
the vast array of factors that influence human behavior. Personality is
important. But so do many other characteristics of people and the
environments in which they live. Personality is a piece of the puzzle, but
true progress on any puzzle necessitates not only identifying the pieces but
also figuring out how they fit together. Consider the potential impact of
acknowledging that certain differences are part of a larger, multifaceted
system.
