Ideologies Blog Post

For the vine group project, our group had nationalism.  In the 19th century, Nationalism was the ideology  that asserted a nation as a natural organic entity of which the citizens share language bonds, and customs. Nationalism is also large against foreign rulers.  Our vine shows this because Craig and I are Italians that are united by our country.  When Andrew, who represents Austria, tries to come and take over, we unite as a country and expel this foreign ruler.


What I learned from the other blog posts is the ideas of Conservatism and Liberalism. The ideas of liberalism is that for the majority of the population to have an influence in politics.  They also believed in Constitutional Monarchy rather than tyranny.  However, conservatism believed in preserving the traditional government which was an absolute monarchy.  They believed that if average systems took over, it would create chaos and violence.  Socially, they wanted to stop social change and keep the wealthy minority in power.
