Learning the basics about ideology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1)I believe Ideology is shaped not only by personal beliefs but also by the family and cultural values we grow up with. These early influences serve as a framework that shapes how we perceive the world and interpret different perspectives throughout life. For example, I grew up in what I believe was a moderate conservative environment, where everything was shaped around religion and freedom, but also not anti-government, but not welcoming to new possible social norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) The difference in my understanding between conservative and liberal ideology is that conservatives often vote against their own interests, using religion and freedom as justification. Liberals, on the other hand, tend to be more open and focused on equality for everyone. For example, when I visited New Orleans, the infrastructure was poorly designed, and the highways and bridges were in horrible shape. Yet the state remains strongly conservative, with the people continuing to vote Republican year after year, even as conditions worsen with no real improvements. Despite who is elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Althusser’s definition, to me, is how we see our roles in society. Whether we realize it or not, we are all conditioned to obey rules and follow a certain path and it begins with school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
