Ideologies - How government actions should work

In class, we just learned about some political Ideologies, specifically Liberalism, Conservatism, and Nationalism. My group specifically worked on defining liberalism and what it would be like in the 18th and 19th centuries.  In class, there were two groups who had each subject and we had to make a minute long video or some form of presentation that was a minute long. My group used a program called chatterpix which allows you to make pictures speak and record your voice over it.

This was my groups project. Note: Not my voice in recording

Liberalism was an interesting idea. It focuses mostly on new things that seem to work, and eliminates any traditions that don't work or are unnecessary. This most benefits the middle class as they also get much more of a say in the government. Liberalism was not supported very much in Europe, as most people trying to find a system that works were upper class, and therefore favored conservatism, as it put monarchies back into place, and would keep most nobles where they are on the social latter.

The two other ideologies we talked about were nationalism and conservatism. Nationalism most benefited the poor, as it united the smaller states of a country to have a role in the government. Conservatism is mostly believing in restoring things to the way they were. This was the most supported, as it would keep the rich rich and in power over all the people.
