In the modern world, ideology plays a role in our daily experiences, from our politics, to our personal belief systems, to the construction of our society. Because of this, our understanding of ideology can shape or influence our perceptions of the people around us. As we begin our first discussion, take a moment to consider the role ideology plays in your experiences, and compare those ideas with what you read in this week’s module. Then answer the following questions:
- In your own words, define the terms ideology, conservatism and liberalism and discuss how they impact your daily life. How does your definition compare/contrast with those presented in the readings and lectures viewed or posted?
- What is the influence of ideology on your chosen field of study or future profession? How can you utilize your understanding of ideology in your professional career?
