Guess the ideology!
| Ideology | Description |
| This ideology is in a sense the ideology of the ‘industrialised West’. It has a focus on a particular set of values: the individual, freedom, reason, justice, toleration. | |
| Central beliefs of this ideology are based around the ideas of: tradition, human imperfection, organic society, hierarchy and authority, property. | |
| This ideology emphasises the key themes of community, cooperation, equality, class politics, and common ownership. | |
| This ideology was born in the period between the first world wars and emerged most dramatically in Italy and Germany. It is a difficult ideology to define, but some its common themes include: a reaction against rationalism, a belief that life is a struggle and the strongest survive, elitism, extreme nationalism. | |
| The defining feature of this ideology is its opposition to the state and the institutions of government and law. Their main arguments is that authority is an offence against the principles of freedom and equality. They believe in a natural goodness of humans, and that without a state governing humans would naturally fall into a state of cooperation with one another. | |
| This ideology rejects the distinction between politics and religion; for them ‘politics is religion’ (Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979). This ideology maintains a commitment to ideas and values that are seen as basic of fundamental. Most often it turns its back on modernity, as it seen to be the root of decay in our world, where values are lacking and moral social fabric has disintegrated. | |
| This ideology includes a firm belief in the idea that the ‘nation’ should be the central principle of political organisation. | |
| This important ideology changed the focus of ideology from looking at the public to the private sphere. That is, rather than looking at the politics of the state level, they started to look at politics of the individual. Key to this was looking at the power relationship that exists between men and women. |
