The Government is run by a set of functionaries, who come to power through the vote of people and the ruling class belongs to a particular party; specifically in a democratic government. Different types of parties are present and people are affiliated with these parties. These associations with the parties is due to the diffferent mindsets of people who think that certain parties represent their ideas and different political cultures are developed.
Political culture is the shell which shapes the behaviour of people and their approach. Throughout the lives of people, different factors affect their attitudes and their thinking processes. This include education,family,social links and mostly media.Their opinons are affected by external elements and all together called the 'Political Socialization'. These things depict various pictures to the individuals and then, one forms an approach towards things.
In Pakistan and in most countries the ruling class influences the culture and tries to create a culture, which strengthens their government. An ideology forms which gets concentrated in a small number of people; called the allies of the government. In Pakistan especially the poor and the downtrodden are crushed and are dominated by this ideology, no benefit is given to them and the powerful gets more power and the weaker gets weaker.
A political culture should be formed which supports the positive aspects of govenment and should be beneficial for the state because the democracies, governments and systems are highly affected by it.

The political culture may be elitist but in aspects of political socialization, we can see how the working and lower classes are influenced to come to have deep hatreds for this system and therefore, a culture of change is developing where people are beginning to demand an end to this domination and want their rights. The partying of groups together to concentrate power only breeds discontent in the society and highlights an even clearer image to the common man of how corrupt those in power are. Therefore, the existing political culture forms a more accurate and aware population with an informed form of political socialization in the people of Pakistan.
