We studied these main topics this week:

1. We learned that ideologies are systems of beliefs and values
2. Different circumstances and factors influence your ideology 
3. Two basic ideologies are Individualism and Collectivism 

Principles of Individualism:

• Rule of law
• Individual rights and freedoms
• Private property
• Economic freedom
• Self-interest
• Competition

Principles of Collectivism:

• Economic equality
• Cooperation
• Public property
• Collective interest
• Collective responsibility
• Adherence to collective norms

I believe knowing the factors that contribute to Individualism and Collectivism will benefit you for future reference.  I think knowing where you are on the spectrum, right (individualism) or left (collectivism) will give you an advantage in the future for assignments and tests.
