1a.) Ideology is based on our beliefs about ourselves and the society that we live in. In the word, Ideology, the word, “idea” basically means a person’s belief or opinions. Ideology focuses on our perspectives on how we view a concept or on our mental impressions. 1b.) An example of Ideology is Disney films. They give you this idea that once you fall in love is a happily ever after or that you have to depend on a man. My belief on that is the complete opposite I believe that we women should be independent and gt our own money; I’m not saying we can’t be in a relationship but it’s about being 50/50, not 100/50. I mean sometimes under the circumstances some people have to choose that path but there is nothing wrong with that I’m just saying what my beliefs are. 1c.) My understanding of ideology is how our beliefs shape the way we think. Ideologies include religions and religious denominations. Everyone has a different belief in a religious matter. Some holy scriptures people may believe in are the Torah, the Holy Bible, etc. Ideology can often be taken for granted and seen as “commonsense”. Political Ideology is talking about whether you identify as a Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, Socialist, Anarchist, Nihilist, etc.

2.) My understanding of Conservative and liberal ideology is that liberals use facts in decisions making whereas conservatives make decisions based on emotion. Conservatives use corporatism they think lying is okay as long as they get profit whereas liberals believe that is true capitalism they believe in fair playing fields and honest business practices. Liberals are very different in their political views on how they view ideologies because they believe the government should play a big and active role in society. Conservatives’ political beliefs are different because they believe that a large government threatens individual liberty.

3.) Althusser’s definition of ideology is that ideology is a practice instead of a belief. For example, he believes that schools not only teach us the subjects we need to use further in our career and life but they also teach us the principles of how to obey.
