answer 2 political science questions 1

Chapter 1 005

Take a look at your favorite news source, find an event that made headlines that’s of interest to you. Determine if an “ideology” was a factor in either making this a newsworthy event or a factor in the event itself. In other words, answer one of the two sets of possible questions: Is this event important and newsworthy because of an accepted ideology in our society? Why did it make the news? Should it have? What ideology is at play to make it newsworthy?

Or… Did this event happen because of an individual or a groups ideology? Did the individual or group believe in an “ideology” and then act on it? What was the ideology? What are your thoughts?

In order to answer this, you’ll need to ensure you understand the textbook’s working definition on an “ideology”. We will spend a lot of time this semester talking about various ideologies, so it’s important that you are able to identify not only in historical reference but in contemporary everyday events.
