During adolescence, the development of
political ideology becomes apparent in the
individual; ideology here is defined as the
presence of roughly consistent attitudes,
more or less organized in reference to a more
encompassing, though perhaps tacit, set of
general principles. As such, political ideology
is dim or absent at the beginning of
social assumptions and relationships as well
