Evelyn Romero Ideology
1.To my understanding ideology is how a person thinks. An individual’s beliefs and principles. An example is how an individual would live their everyday life and view things how it ought to be in society and act on it. If an individual were to break the law , not following what’s normal in society then that is when there would be punishment. Repressive apparatus would then step in and enforce.
2. The difference between conservative and liberal are that conservatives believe that with the government it is a problem and not a solution ,they do not agree on government handouts ,they also believe there should be more harsher police methods . Conservatives are more religious one might add because of just more biblical beliefs in wanting prayers in schools , God into public life. Liberals are the opposite . liberals believe the government is the solution , and supporting on wanting more assistance with the needy ,like food stamps etc . Liberals also believe that abortions should be made between the woman and doctor .
3. Althusser stated ideology is discipline. A way to keep people in line. Fear is one way to keep order using police , courts and prisons and another would possibly be religion . Not wanting to not follow order because of what you believe that the lord will punish you.
Hello Evelyn, your understanding of ideology is insightful, especially in linking it to individual beliefs and how people perceive societal norms. You have also highlighted important distinctions between liberals and conservatives, especially with regards to social ideals and government action. The claim that liberals support individual liberties like the right to an abortion while conservatives want greater religious influence in public life illustrates how different ideologies influence how each party approaches policy.
