Description:
In nowadays society, politics represent a matter of great concern for people all over the world. There is a tremendous variety of attitudes, options, opinions and beliefs with regard to politics, across different cultures, which shape the similarities and differences among individuals, and implicitly the society in which they live. Furthermore, researchers have been long concerned with the central questions of democratic political behaviour: What are the prevailing patterns of citizen political opinion and behaviour? How do these patterns change over time, across generations? Which are the sources of these opinions and behaviour, and what changes them? How and how much do citizens influence their leaders and their government? Which are the factors that contribute to the political values development? The present paper’s intention is to shed light on a controversy dimension of political sociology, namely the youth voting behaviour and the factors that influenced it. The paper will mainly focus on Romanian’s youth voting behaviour, in strong association with family background influence. I will start from the general assumption that family plays an important role in forming the individual’s political personality and I will try to identify the context in which political socialization occurs.
