He further explains that from a social-scientific viewpoint, an ideology is a more or less coherent set of ideas that provides a basis for organized political action, whether this is intended to preserve, modify or overthrow the existing system of power relationships. Functions of Political Ideology Political ideologies are very important in a society. Heywood (2007) also described the following functions of political ideology: (1) It offers an account of the existing order by examining what works and what does not work, as well as other various issues and problems that the state and the broader society are confronted with. (2) It provides a model of a desired social order, a vision of the Good Society. (3) It outlines how political change or the desired social order can be achieved. Major Political Ideologies There are many political ideologies. On this module we will concentrate more on these three major political ideologies. These are the Liberalism, Conservatism, and Socialism. Heywood (2007) explained the key ideas under these ideologies. Read his explanations below: Liberalism Liberalism pertains to set of political beliefs emphasizing individual rights and liberties. Its key ideas are the following: Key Ideas of Liberalism 1. Individualism: It is the core principle of liberal ideology. Individualism is further explained as: 7 www.shsph.blogspot.com ❖ belief in the supreme importance of the human ❖ human beings are seen with equal moral worth; they possess separate and unique identities ❖ the liberal goal is to construct a society within which individuals can flourish and develop 2. Freedom: Individual freedom or liberty is the core value of liberalism. Under freedom are the following features: ❖ desire to ensure that each person is able to act as he or she pleases or chooses ❖ advocate ‘freedom under the law’, as they recognize that one person’s liberty may be a threat to the liberty of others 3. Reason: Liberals believe that the world has a rational structure, and that this can be uncovered through the exercise of human reason and by critical enquiry. Furthermore, the key idea of reason favors the following: ❖ faith in the ability of individuals to make wise judgments; ❖ individuals as the best judges of their own interests; ❖ belief in progress and the capacity of human beings to resolve their differences through debate and argument, rather than bloodshed and war. 4. Equality: This refers to the belief that individuals are ‘born equal’, at least in terms of moral worth. Liberalism has strong commitment to equal rights namely: ❖ legal equality (‘equality before the law’); ❖ political equality (‘one person, one vote; one vote, one value’). 5. Toleration: It means willingness to allow others to think, speak and act in ways which they disapprove. This promotes debate and intellectual progress. 6. Consent: It will advocate that authority and social relationships should always be based on consent or willing agreement. Under this idea, the government must therefore be based on the ‘consent of the governed’. Authority is always grounded in legitimacy. 8 www.shsph.blogspot.com Conservatism Conservatism refers to set of political beliefs based on preservation of customs and traditions that define the character of a society. Here are the key ideas of conservatism: Key Ideas of Conservatism 1. Tradition: It is the central theme of conservative thought or ‘the desire to conserve’. It respects established customs and institutions that have endured through time. Tradition reflects the accumulated wisdom of the past, and institutions and practices that have been ‘tested by time’, and it should be preserved for the benefit of the living and for generations yet to come. 2. Pragmatism: It is the belief that action should be shaped by practical circumstances and practical goals, that is, by ‘what works’. 3. Human imperfection: In this view, human beings are limited, dependent, and security-seeking creatures, drawn to the familiar and the tried and tested. Human beings are needing to live in stable and orderly communities. The maintenance of order requires a strong state, the enforcement of strict laws, and stiff penalties. 4. Authority: Conservatives hold that, to some degree, authority is always exercised ‘from above’, providing leadership, guidance and support for those who lack the knowledge, experience or education to act wisely in their own interests. Authority and leadership are seen as resulting from experience and training. 5. Property: Conservatives see property ownership as being vital because it gives people security and a measure of independence from government, and it encourages them to respect the law and the property of others. Socialism Socialism is defined as set of political beliefs emphasizing community and social equality that adheres to the following ideas: Key Ideas of Socialism 1. Community: The core of socialism is the vision of human beings as social creatures linked by the existence of a common humanity. It highlights the importance of community, and the degree to which individual identity is fashioned 9 www.shsph.blogspot.com by social interaction and membership of social groups and collective bodies. Socialists are inclined to emphasize nurture over nature, and to explain individual behavior mainly in terms of social factors, rather than innate qualities. 2. Fraternity: It is sharing a common humanity. Humans are bound together by a sense of comradeship or fraternity (literally meaning ‘brotherhood’, but broadened in this context to embrace all humans). Socialism prefers cooperation over competition and favors collectivism over individualism. Cooperation enables people to harness their collective energies/strengthens the bonds of community. 3. Social equality is the central value of socialism: It emphasizes equality of outcome as opposed to equality of opportunity. The measure of social equality is looked upon as guarantee of social stability and cohesion. 4. Need is of primary importance in Socialism: It is the belief that material benefits should be distributed on the basis of need, rather than simply on the basis of merit or work: ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need’. The satisfaction of basic needs (hunger, thirst, shelter, health, personal security and so on) is a prerequisite for a worthwhile human existence and participation in social life. 5. Social class: Socialism has traditionally been associated with the interests of an oppressed and exploited working class - regarded the working class as an agent of social change. The socialist goal is the eradication of economic and social inequalities, or their substantial reduction. 6. Common ownership: The socialist case for common ownership is that it is a means of harnessing material resources to the common good, with private property being seen to promote selfishness, acquisitiveness and social division. 10 www.shsph.blogspot.com Different Ideologies and their Perspectives on the State Socialism, Liberalism and Conservatism are political ideologies that have different perspective or view on the state. According to Mendoza and Melegrito (2016) have the following explanations: Political Ideologies Perspective on the state Socialism Considers the state as embodiment of the common good and approves government intervention in implementing laws concerning the welfare of the citizens. Cooperation is more important than competition Liberalism Views the state as a tool or instrument of social order Recognizes the state in providing equal opportunities to all citizens. Conservatism Links the state with the need to provide authority and discipline in order to protect society from chaos and social disorder.
