Editor's Notes

  1. In analyzing a political issue, we need to use several of the theories, frameworks, and ideologies to achieve a more accurate analysis and explanation of the issue.
  2. Antoine Destutt de Tracy coined the term Ideology and used in public in 1976. according to Tracy, is a new ‘science of ideas’ from the literal term “idea-logy”..ideology becomes a political weapon to condemn or criticize opposing arrays of ideas or belief system… Therefore, when beliefs and value are put together in a coherent system, they form an ideology. Today, could mean different things to different people.
  3. Political ideologies are evolving sets of ideas that are combined in a variety of ways to guide, inspire, or goad people to political action.
  4. Conservatism – as the name implies, one is focused on conserving something. The desire to preserve institutions and is reflected in a resistance to, or atleast suspicion, of change. Liberalism – it can be said that liberalism is the opposite of conservatism…
