What is the role of the individual and family in the development of political institutions? Conversely, how does political institutions influence the development of individuals and family?

Question #1: What is the role of the individual and family in the development of political institutions?

In order to come into a better conclusion, always bare in mind that....

• The main influence of the family is the formation of the individual's political personality and spectrum.
• The father which is known to be the pillar of the family serves as a figure of authority and thus, influenced the child's view of what we call political authority is (Davies 1965).
• Generally, it is the family serves as the first and influential factors to the developing political philosophy of the young people and individuals.

• In research conducted by International Journal of Psycho-educational Sciences, it shows that individuals who grew up in an authoritarian concept of discipline tend to be more obedient to those who are higher than themselves (Turan 1991). This only shows how influential family is when it comes to political ideologies.
• The method of raising children leads to its identification of his individual political personality, which includes political value judgment and political attitudes and choices.

Note: Backed up of the information's stated above, we can conclude that the role of of individual and the family in the development of political institution starts at home, and reflected through individual's political beliefs which were mold during the progression of child's growth which are influenced by family. The family is important in shaping voters' political ideology until in adulthood, not only in terms of intergenerational transmission of it, but also reflects into the child's political ideology and beliefs which would later turned into action when the individual will vote in elections.

More Conceptual framework:

To better understand, take a look at this process because this will also explain the answers for the 2nd question.

1st Process - Families raise their child in accordance to what they wanted to.

2nd Process - The child is influenced by his parents, shaping its political ideologies.

3rd Process - As an individual and a grownup adult, the individual select the political candidate based on his own political spectrum which was influence, honed by the family.

4th Process - The elected officials who will lead the society will served in these political institutions.

5th Process- This political institutions will function in accordance to its mandate.

6th Process - In return, the political institutions as it continue to work its mandate, will going to influence the people living in the society.

Question #2: Conversely, how does political institutions influence the development of individuals and family?

First, let us know what is the mandate of political institutions?

Political institutions are the organizations in a government that create, enforce, and apply laws for the betterment of the society. They create policy on the economy or market institutions and into social systems.

TAKE NOTE , these political systems has the sole responsibility in ensuring secure its citizens, providing facilities for education and health, making sure that the people (families, individuals) are given the rights and equal treatment, making equal opportunities for a better life.

It is a mere cycle. The family influence our political ideologies -----> We put that political ideologies into action through voting during election -----> The leaders we vote will serve and influence us, our family, the individuals. And the cycle will repeat again and again.
