1A. Based on the videos and readings Ideology is a persons political point of view in society it’s their ideas and thoughts put together and what the person thinks is better for the government including things such as the economic system. The videos contained some examples about some groups that are called political ideology such as conservative and liberals and their beliefs.

B. An example In the video was liberals and their beliefs they believed that they should recieve more help instead of giving so much out to the military and defense. They think that their budget should be cut and their should be more money for things like social programs, aiding the poor and having more benefits for groups such as minorities women. Liberals see the government as a necessary agent in promoting equality.

c) The way I see and understand ideology is a persons own belief based on their social life and economics.Its not always correct or the same group of people but its just ideas and beliefs they have. These pass on through families for example the video gave us an example of how kids who respect their parents are most likely to continue and agree with their beliefs for example continue having conservative beliefs if the parents have, if they dont and oppose they would be seen as rebellion. Ideology is seen through many types of groups and people can be identify differently such as liberal,conservative, libertarian, sociologist and many more. As I mentioned before the position you are born in economically can play a role in what you believe. For example Latinos and African americans are most likely to be liberals due to most being poor while white catholics are most likely to be wealthy and have conservatives beliefs.

2. There are many big differences between Conservative and liberal ideology in the US politics. Liberals are mostly known as the left wing and conservatives as the right wing. Liberals prefer the government to help the citizens more and provide them with programs and help they need such as benefits and health care services while conservatives prefer to not get the government involved and have less help. Since conservatives are most likely to have more money they believe that the government should tax less and spend less while liberals have less money and believe that the government should provide more services to help to the poor and increase taxes on the wealthy people. Their social views are also different for example liberals are more freely when it comes to people and believe they should be able to do what they want such as abortion and being gay while conservatives point of view on that is the opposite. They oppose to gay marriages and abortion.

3. How do you understand Althusser’s definition of ideology? Althusser argues that ideology is capitalist society in fundamental to social control and education is the right way to trasmit the idea of ideology. He defined two types of apparatus that controlled behavior. The first is called the repressive apparatus. The second one is called ideological . Repressive is when a person has the fear of violence and the fear and what may happen therefore the person follows what authority says and avoids punishment.Althussers also believed that the call of ideology, responding to it is what dooms you from the outset. He called that Interpellation. He believes that ideology is used to keep people under control and for them to obey and have discipline
