1) Change in beliefs due to age
2) More inclined to favor social-welfare programs, more isolationist
3) More tolerant of social change, conservative economically
4)This agent of political socialization links us to other agents of political socialization
 
1. I was once a liberal...or at least thought that I was because I wasn't racist, smoked pot, didn't like war, don't care who you marry, don't care what you abort and don't care which religion you choose to practice but realized that there is more to liberalism than going to Reggae on the River and hanging out with feminists who tell you that they should be able to sleep around, fart and burp because guys do it to and the political parties are really about fiscal issues...I realized that the liberal view on where things were going to go economically was scary and made room for a whole new form of corruption and enslavement that we will now see within a few years as we will all be working for five different corporations that are sub-contractors through the bank of the world, as no one will be able to afford to pay these ridiculous "green" taxes and people are happy to give away their rights.

2. Social welfare programs should be for those who need them and they should willfully want to do everything for themselves. It seems to me that many take advantage of the fact that they can keep collecting welfare and have the same standard of life as the middle class without doing anything.

3. I am tolerant of social change but I believe that people are looking way too into these as politicians will act as if they are in their agendas (or what there of) but not actually care just to seduce you into drinking their Kool Aid and joining their political party. I mean voting with their political party.

4. I don't know what to tell you for #4.
 
First off, Political Science is a contradiction in terms, as there is no Science involved in Politics.
That said:
1. Decided to be a Republican during the 1956 election season. I was 7 years old. Haven't changed my mind yet.
2. Social welfare programs are one of the biggest reasons ur economy is in the sad shape we currently find it, but Isolationism isn't a good idea,
3.Economically Conservative. Unsure of exactly what you mean by Social Change.
4. ? I must be getting really old, because this one loses me.
 
Your question doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But these are the ideas I produced:

I think the change in beliefs will be more so due from experiences had, rather than age. Old folks can get set in their ways, I think they just don't care as much as they used to, or have the energy to be excited about change.

If more people were inclined to favor social welfare programs then we could reach political equilibrium. But an extreme majority of the people must be willing to submit to this.
Isolationalism would force us to accept self reliance, in turn making us stronger, because we would produce almost everything we consume. Vice versa.

I think this is where we might be heading now. Social change is always present, but it derives only where progress is being made.

What do you mean when you say "more inclined" ---who or what is more inclined?

What agent of political socialization are you talking about exactly?
you need to clarify more than just "this"

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here goes:

I'm 36, and my position on social issues is ever-evolving. As I grow older, I find that I am less concerned with what individuals choose to do with their lives--insofar as their decisions don't affect my personal liberties. Live and let live, ya know?! What has remained unchanged is my staunch commitment to three tenets of Conservatism (NOT to be confused with modern day Republicanism): 1. Smaller government=more room for individual success and freedom, 2. The Individual, not the State, is responsible for ensuring his own success and happiness in this society (with exceptions made, of course, for helping those amongst us who are unable to do for themselves), and 3. Fiscal responsibility means keeping the money in the hands of the citizenry and not the the coffers of government.

And, I almost left the most important one out: The Constitution is to be upheld and respected, rather than perverted to meet the political ambitions of any one party, AT ALL COSTS. Doing what is politically expedient is seldom what is really right!
