Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Define selective exposure as the process through which people consciously choose to get the news from sources with views compatible to their own.
2,Assess whether selective exposure is a problem or a weakness. Most students should argue that it's a weakness because it can turn people off from politics and prevent compromise sincecitizens never hear the competing perspective on issues.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define the gender gap as the regular pattern in which women are more likely than men to support Democratic candidates.
2, Discuss one or more specific examples of issues in whicha gender gap is known to exist (e.g., view of an activist role for government, U.S. military intervention, restrictions on firearms, spending on social programs, or affirmative action).
3, Explain that women, because they have been politically and economically disadvantaged, have become more likely to support spending on social services to overcome these disadvantages.
