Americans Political Culture. Conflictual or Consensual ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The United States is political culture is conflictual. A conflictual political culture is when there is a division of citizens based on legitimate believes and point of views. This is the representation of the political culture of America. This is represented by an article written by Brooks; who describes the red and blue states within America. Based on his article it shows that Red Americans are more family orientated, hard working, less educational oriented, and have a more conservative outlook on conflicts. Where Blue Americans are more modern, and educationally oriented, and have liberal point of view. Also he states that Red Americans mostly live in the Midwest and South and Blue Americans live on the coast. Based on these observations Brooks declares that Red Americans normally vote for the Republican Party while Blue Americans vote with the Democratic party. The division of ideas and political stances shows that America has a conflictual political culture.

The idea of America being conflictual is shown by the IQ rate of each state. Brooks States the Red Americans are located in the Midwest and our more farm workers than modern, educationally motivated people. And that Blue Americans are located on the coastlines and are heavily motivated by education and modern ideas. This is perfectly shown by the visual below.
    This shows that the red colored states represent the Republican Party and the blue states represent the Democratic Party. As you can see the blue states IQ are much higher than the red states. Which perfectly matches the observation Brook’s made about Red Americans and Blue Americans. This visual and Brooks hypothesis shows that there is a division between the citizens and states in America thus making our political culture conflictual.
