IDEOLOGY

Ideology

Ideology is a group or personal ideas and beliefs that explain views of

society.

An example is Religion.

INDIVIDUALISM

Individualism is the idea of allowing individuals to look after themselves is

the proper way to succeed.

Examples is the Liberal Party in Alberta. They say that looking after yourself is right

and money from the government will not be granted.

American Health Care is an another idea where they have to use there own money

to pay for their needs. The government does not support those that need serious

medical attention and they have to pay for everything themselves. If you don’t have

the money for it, basically you are out of luck.

have things like school and busing and health care, etc.

Freedom is an individual being able to

express themselves however they want and

be who they want to be.

FREEDOM

In Canada we have the right to be the religion we believe in. Where as in

Iraq if you were a missionary working in the hospitals who was Christian,

you could get killed for being that different religion.

This is that you are obligated to follow the laws that

have been made for your province/country, and if

you don’t you will pay for it

An example is traffic laws. If you speed or miss a stop

sign, you get tickets, and eventually your license taken

away.

Having the right to own your own land and having all your freedom to do

what you want on your land.

Private Property

For example, being able to build a garage on your own

private property would be okay, but doing so on land that is

owned by the county is something you wouldn’t be able to

or would have to get permission first.
