Write a description of each person in terms of the political party they are likely to
support. Identify the important characteristics of each person revealed in the pictures
and explain how they would tend to lead that individual to support one of the major
political parties in Texas. Are there any characteristics of each person that might lead
them to be in the other party as well?
The shadowy figure of a man riding a horse
-
In this picture, we see that a man is riding a horse. Based on this picture we can
conclude that they have a rural background. Usually, when individuals are from rural
areas, it may lead them to identify more with conservative values and prioritize issues
related to agriculture, land ownership, and everything in that regard. In the picture, it is
also notable that the person is outdoors in nature. People who enjoy outdoor activities
may be more likely to prioritize issues related to hunting, fishing, and many other
outdoor activities. The Republican Party in Texas has traditionally supported the
interests of hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts. Conservative values usually side
with the prioritization of issues related to traditional family values, individual liberty, and
limited government. Although this person has characteristics of supporting the
Republican Party, he very well may also support Democratic policies which align with his
values, such as environmental conservation or healthcare access. People who enjoy
outdoor activities may also prioritize issues related to conservation and environmental
protection. Since healthcare is not as easily accessible to people in rural areas, that may
also be one of their concerns.
The Female business owner at a computer
-
Based on the picture of a female business owner at a computer, I would assume that
they have an urban or suburban background. People who come from these areas are
more likely to prioritize issues related to economic development, education, and social
justice which are tied to the Democratic Party in Texas. People who value education and
economic opportunity may be also inclined to support policies that promote investment
in education, job creation, and economic growth. Based on these characteristics, it
would be safe to assume that this person is more than likely to align with the
Democratic Party in Texas. Although based on the picture you would believe this person
to be liberal, there are some characteristics in which she may also support some of the
Republican policies that align with her values, such as reducing taxes and/or supporting
businesses. She may not also align fully with the Democratic Party on its stance on social
issues or economic policies.
P.S.
Regardless of the notion that a picture may represent, it is important to note that people’s
political beliefs are influenced by a range of factors. It is crucial to engage in respectful
conversations with other people and understand everyone’s different viewpoints. One cannot
always make a determination solely based on one's appearance in one picture or occupation.
