in the run toachieve the same power. The candidates of the opposition party question the
party on power during political debates. They intend to inform people and make them
aware of their agenda and what the present government is doing. All this is done with the
help of politics only.

made for the personal interest of a person or party. It ignores the overall development of a

collectively.

Political ideology can be defined as a set of rules, regulations, values or beliefs that are held by a
particular individual or group of individuals that defines or rather sets the standards on how the
society should behave and present a guideline for a certain social order. With this in mind, it is
therefore important to state that every person in the society belongs or holds in his or her life
some form of ideologies (political) whose base defines the way he or she desires to view the
society as a whole, thus meeting their expectations of in the society. There are different political
ideologies that exist across the globe. However, the most common political ideologies that are
well known in the contemporary society are liberalism and conservatism. Notably, most people
in the current world belong either to conservatism or liberalism. Thus, as an individual, I belong
to middle conservatism.

Consequently, there are general issues that are considered as important when one holds the
conservative political ideology. To begin with, conservatism promotes the existence of
traditional social institutions with a minimal support for changes in these institutions. As a result,
conservatism argues that instead of imposing drastic or abrupt changes on social structures, this
should be done gradually (Vincent 56). It is also important to note that there are various forms of
conservatism that have been exhibited in the society. More so, whereas different types of
conservatism are similar in character, they have variant area of focus. In other words, whereas
they propose that the society should maintain traditional structures, they are persistent in certain
areas than in others. For instance, some forms of conservatism focus more on religion than on
any other area of social perspectives.

Political psychology aims to understand interdependent relationships between individuals and

contexts that are influenced by beliefs, motivation, perception, cognition, information
processing, learning strategies, socialization and attitude formation. Political psychological
theory and approaches have been applied in many contexts such as: leadership role; domestic and
foreign policy making; behavior in 1ethnic violence, war and genocide; group dynamics and
conflict; racist behavior; voting attitudes and motivation; voting and the role of the media;
nationalism; and political extremism.
Political scientists sometimes use the insights of psychology to analyze a president's or
voter's behavior or to explain why some people are more prone to supporting certain
governments and ideologies.
