After reading Chapter Fourteen of the textbook, and watching Dannagal G. Young’s TED Talk video regarding the psychological traits for political beliefs, submit your written response to both of the following questions:
This talk suggests political beliefs can be traced back to psychological traits.
1. What are the psychological traits for those with liberal (left or Democratic) political views and what are the psychological traits for those with conservative (right or Republican) political views that are suggested in the TED talk?
2. What external forces does Prof. Young suggest are exploiting the underlying differences we may have, resulting in the current state of heightened political polarization?
