BELIEF SYSTEMS / BELIEF PYRAMIDS

assorted py

Human beings are different from animals in one respect amongst many ; they hold beliefs and share them or express them to others .This expression of beliefs led to the recognition of the inalienable rights of freedom of speech , conscience and expression all of which are based on a certain belief system held by the human being.
We have depicted this belief system in diagrams or pyramids using American society as an example .We are using American society because of its bipolar division where you have the political bifurcation of left and right as very prominent.This was evident in the last election where the presidential popular vote was largely for the left or the blues or Democrats while the presidential electoral college vote was for the right or the red party or Republicans.
Now for those who are for the Republican party we have called them red pyramids of the conservative pyramid  . While the Democrats are the blue pyramids of the liberal pyramid  . Then we have an assorted pyramid that is a mix of blue and red bricks . This group is mostly held by independents in an election setting or libertarians .
This Pyramid system can be employed in any setting as every brick is a principle or belief or ideology held dearly by a person.

THE RED PYRAMID /RED IDEOLOGUE / CONSERVATIVE PERSON'S BELIEF SYSTEM
Thus we are saying every human being is a building of ideologies or a building of principles or beliefs that they hold and acquire through education and communication channels.

THE BLUE PYRAMID /BLUE IDEOLOGUE / LIBERAL PERSON'S BELIEF SYSTEM


This is why you can have a person who is anti LGBT a trait considered to belong to the conservative pyramid of thought and belief but is anti war which is a trait or principle belonging to the liberal pyramid or Democrat system.
Thus we can say that America is becoming more and more assorted and less and less bifurcated making elections thoroughly unpredictable because of the assorted/mixed arrangement of beliefs and values of many voters and persons.

THE MIXED PYRAMID /MIXED IDEOLOGUE / MIXED PERSON'S BELIEF SYSTEM

This can be attributed to the Internet where many people are educating themselves about many issues and thus are reshaping their views ideas and beliefs or reinforcing their age old beliefs.
So a society can have a population that has many blue pyramids or many liberals than conservatives and vice versa . But a society can also have a majority of assorted pyramids or mixed ideologues thus mixing up the policies and values of a country or population.
