  24. Part 1 Identity and Ideology

  25. Your Own Beliefs Remember… We talked about how perspective can influence people. Why was this important?

  26. Remember this?

  27. Your Perspective / Beliefs We all see the world differently. Discovering and developing your own beliefs / values takes time and will change. When you are in High School what do you Value? At Work? A Parent? A Senior?

  28. Many have asked questions? What are humans like, And why do they act like they do? What is the nature of society? What is our role as individuals in society?

  29. okay, that is a little strange… But, you’ve asked: why did he do that? Why are some people Jerks? Why would she do that? What should I do? One group comes to mind when I think about these questions.

  31. An ideology includes: Who are you? Where are you going? What is the world around you like? How should we treat people? How the world should develop?

  32. Ideologies • Can be based individual values. • shared among a large group of people and may then become an Ideology. • Or Identify your own beliefs and values. • Let’s take a few minutes and complete the sheet on page 7 of your text book. • Use a piece a determine where you fall in the ideological spectrum.

  33. Collectivism Vs. Individualism No one is completely a collectivist or and individualist. We all fall in a line with a mix of both. Collectivism - Putting the needs of the whole first. Individualist - Putting the needs of the individual first.
