Students usually can usually point our certain countries that follow certain ideologies (ex. Canada = Liberal, Democratic Socialism...). However, when students are confronted with concepts like welfare, universal healthcare, and "hands on/off government," students are often unsure which ideologies favor and disfavor such concepts.
