The idea
Public opinion is a snapshot of how experience and belief make people feel about a candidate, law or issue. Attitudes form in childhood. We learn politics from agents of socialization: family, schools, friends, religious organizations, and the media.
In practice
Political socialization: learning a system's norms through others.
Where people slip
With that information we choose an ideology and government's proper role.
