2. IDEOLOGIES
• INTRODUCTION – SOCIAL ANALYSIS MUST FIRST BE BACKED UP BY
UNDERSTANDING KEY CONCEPTS OF IDEOLOGICAL FRAME WORKS.
• NORMS IN SOCIETY ARE CREATED BY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL VALUES, BELIEFS
AND ATTITUDES.
• SOCIAL GROUPS SUCH AS LGBTQ, IDLE NO MORE OR MARGINALIZED GROUPS
ARE CAPABLE OF MOBILIZING CHANGE.

3. UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS OF THE
DOMINANT POWER WILL CREATE AN
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CAN CHANGE
OPPRESSION

4. WHAT ARE THE THREE DOMINANT POLITICAL
IDEOLOGIES IN THE WESTERN WORLD?
• LIBERALISM VALUES FREE TRADE, LIBERTY AND FREE INDIVIDUALISTIC
ATTITUDES. NOT ALWAYS FORMING THE MOST SOCIALLY EQUAL
OPPORTUNITIES. LIBERALISM PERPETUATES CLASS INEQUALITY, PATRIARCHY
AND WHITE SUPREMACY.
• CONSERVATISM VALUES RESPECTING THE CHURCH AND LIBERTY FOR
INDIVIDUAL GROWTH. ALIKE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY, BOTH HAVE NORMALIZED
SOCIAL INEQUALITY’S.
• SOCIALISM VALUES EQUAL RIGHTS AND DEFENDS SOCIETY’S CLASSIM.
SOCIALISTS STAND FOR A COLLECTIVE SOCIETY THAT WOULD END
PRIVATIZATION TO CREATE JUSTICE AND PEACE. (PG.56-57)
CAPITALISM= LIBERALISM AND CONSERVATISM

5. THE DOWN LOW ON POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES

6. NEOLIBERALISM
• NEOLIBERALISM
• NEOLIBERALISM PROMOTES INDIVIDUALISM AND FREE ENTERPRISE IDEAS AND A LIMITED ROLE
FOR GOVERNMENT.
• THESE SOCIAL PROGRAMS PROVIDED GOVERNMENT RELIEF FOR THE MIDDLE AND WORKING
CLASSES DISPLACED BY THE CAPITALIST ECONOMIC SYSTEM.
• FIRST, THIS REQUIRED GOVERNMENT TO DEREGULATE PUBLIC PROTECTION MEASURES SUCH
AS FOOD SAFETY, PHARMACEUTICALS ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION, GENETICALLY MODIFIED
FOODS, ETC. AND REPLACE THESE WITH CORPORATE SELF REGULATION.
• FUNDING TO PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS HAS BEEN CUT DRASTICALLY AND GOVERNMENTS HAVE
ADOPTED BUSINESS MODELS FOR ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES.

7. • THIS IS MOST EVIDENT IN AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SPONSORED BY
CORPORATIONS WHERE RESEARCH HARMFUL TO THE PUBLIC BUT PROFITABLE
TO THE CORPORATIONS IS WITHHELD FROM PUBLICATION.
• THE IMPACT AFTER FOUR DECADES OF NEOLIBERALISM DEMONSTRATES THAT
THESE POLICIES HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR OBJECTIVES.

8. NEO-CONSERVATISM
• SIMILAR TO NEO-LIBERALISM ON ECONOMIC TERMS, BUT MAIN DIFFERENCES
CONCERN SOCIAL ISSUES
• TRADITIONAL AND FUNDAMENTALIST VALUES (SOCIAL, MORAL, RELIGIOUS)
• DIVISIVE ISSUES ALSO DRIVES IDEOLOGY AND DRIVES SUPPORT
• “WE VS. THEM” MENTALITY
