The document summarizes interviews conducted with 3 students living in Gibbs Court at Capstone University. The interviews asked about socioeconomic status, political affiliation, place of origin, and involvement in student groups. Two of the subjects did not adhere to the hypothesis that one's political views match their parents, and place of origin seemed to influence political affiliation as the northern subjects were Democrats. Observations of clothing and technology supported socioeconomic status influencing affiliation, as the less expensive clothes correlated with Democratic views. Involvement in Greek life also reinforced trends of Republicans in fraternities and sororities.

2.  Did interviews at Gibbs Court in Capstone
 Interviewed three different people
 Asked questions regarding;
 socioeconomic status
 What political party they affiliated with
 Place of origin
 What social groups they were in(greek life)

3. I looked at the people I
interviewed and observed
the people they hung out
with.
I observed their clothing
What technology they had

4.  My view before the research was that college
students now-a-days believe very similar
political views as their parents did. Only one
of my subjects adhered to this.
 It seemed fair to assume raised democrat
one would be a democrat and vice versa. But
at least in these subjects that was not always
true.

5.  My hypothesis of place of origin did
seem to adhere to what I believe prior
to the research.
 The individuals that I interviewed from
the north were either democrats or
their parents were, and the individual
from the south was a republican.

6.  I came into observing my subjects socioeconomic
statuses by observing what clothes each person wore
and what technology they had.
 The individuals that did not wear name brand clothes
had parents that were democrats or the person
themselves were democrats. It was not surprising that
the individual I interviewed last, who wore more
alternative clothes that were not as expensive was a
democrat

7.  From my own experience in Greek life
on USC’s campus I have noticed trends
in political affiliation. People in a
fraternity or sorority tend to be
republicans and more conservative.
 My research and interviews reinforced
my experience.

8.  In my research I tried to connect the
different variables that influenced their
political ideologies.
 I think I portrayed what the world
around these individuals has done to
their beliefs whether it is their place of
origin or environment they grew up in.
