An introduction to a range of ideological world views, including both political and faith perspectives, is presented along with teaching students how to identify and analyse the ideological framework in use in a given context.

This unit examines how different ideologies and worldviews influence youth policy, youth work, and young people's perception of the world and their place in the world. The unit explores both political and faith perspectives. The unit examines how different values and assumptions lead to political disagreement about policy. In this context we examine values and assumptions related to human nature, human rights, liberty, social justice, human purpose, our relationship with the natural world and about what constitutes an ideal society. The unit relates these themes back to youth work and to young people.
