Preface: To the Instructor
We don’t need to tell you that most college-level instructors are harried and
overworked. This Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank is intended to lighten
your load, if only a little. It is an instructor’s companion to Ball, Dagger,
O’Neill, and Kirkpatrick Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal and
an accompanying anthology, Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader, both
published in 2024 in their revised and updated twelfth editions. Both books
are the fruits of many years of teaching generations of undergraduates what
ideologies are, how they work, and what consequences they produce. We
emphasize that the study of those systems of ideas called “ideologies” is
unlike any other, inasmuch as many millions of human beings have died
fighting under their banner. In other words, to analyze political ideologies is
not to deal in academic abstractions but in too-often bloody reality. We also
emphasize that the study of ideologies contributes to civic education,
inasmuch as (say) a conservative or liberal student learns what liberalism
and conservatism are, where they come from, how they have changed over
iii
, time, and why many find these ideologies attractive, she might feel less
antagonistic toward the other side. The same is of course true for people of
various other political persuasions, fascism and radical Islamism possibly
excepted.
Our textbook now includes discussion questions at the end of each
chapter; many of these are identical to the essay questions here. Your
students will not, however, have access to the true/false, multiple choice, and
other objective questions in this manual.
Every instructor has her or his own teaching style, which may or may
not accord with our suggestions in these pages. These are merely tools and
techniques that we have found useful. Feel free to amend, modify – or reject
outright – any or all of our suggestions.
Happy teaching!
