1)What is a Repressive State Apparatus? Why does Althusser call it “repressive”? Can we explain his choice of words here. Give an example.

Repressive state Apparatus is when the government uses force to keep people in line and to follow the rules. Althusser called it Repressive ideology because fear and violence is used to control the people.

2) Let’s do the same for the Ideological State Apparatuses. What are they, how do they seem to work? 

Ideology changes someone’s belief and shaping their morals and values those values. Institution include religion , media, culture, family structure. Children when they go to school. Adults when they go to church families with mixed background

3. Post an example of ideology. This could be a piece of writing, an image, video, pdf document, visual art, or music, clip from a movie. Next to your example, specify if this is an example of repressive or ideological apparatuses at work. I’ll start us of off by giving an example.
