The term “political culture” is defined by the Oxford Dictionary of Politics as “[t]he attitudes, beliefs, and values which underpin the operation of a particular political system.” Political Analyst Jack C. Plano defines “political culture” as, “[t]he aggregate of learned, socially transmitted behavior patterns characterizing government and politics within a society…[a] political culture is the product of the historical experience of the whole society as well as the personal experiences that contribute to the socialization of each individual,” (Plano, J.C.). Political culture’s origin derives from a nation’s belief system, the means of its founding, and the historic traditions of a population. Political culture can be described as the attitude of a nation, rooted in empiric historic events. The people and their government shape political culture, leading to monumental differences specific to a nation’s culture, hardships, and triumphs.
