1) My definition of ideology are the structures of reasoning and faith that people use to understand the world. It affects the way we see what is “normal,” “right,” and perfect for society.Ideology also impacts the way we speak on situations like unemployment, inequalities, and crime as well as how we judge the choices of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2)Regarding the role of government and what makes an equal society, right and liberal ideologies in the USA differ most. Liberals put more value on justice, fair opportunity, and the idea that the state can help in fixing social issues, but the Republicans typically stress freedom of choice, smaller government, and personal accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 ) According to my understanding of Althusser, ideology is a system that affects the way people view themselves and their place in society, rather than a set of personal opinions. For making specific standards, rules, and needs look normal and natural, ideology lets people function without constant questioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By teaching people how to conduct themselves as employees, students, or citizens by everyday settings like the media and schools, ideology “accepts” people into society, as an example students have the ability to to adapt into adulthood and employment by learning in school, for such as to respect authority, follow rules, and get good grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
