Theres little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head That curled like a lambs back was shav'd, so I said. Hush Tom never mind it, for when your head's bare, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair And so he was quiet. & that very night. As Tom was a sleeping he had such a sight That thousands of sweepers Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black, And by came an Angel who had a bright key And he open'd the coffins & set them all free. Then down a green plain leaping laughing they run And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind. They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy, He'd have God for his father & never want joy. And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark And got with our bags & our brushes to work. Tho' the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.

We’ve talked about the elements that influence you and help develop your own ideological Spectrum. (and how perspectives can develop) Finally we’ve talked about what an ideology is and the questions that they attempt to answer.

36. Okay, I’ll tell you ► What are humans like, why do they act the way they do? (Human Nature) ► How Should Society be Organized? (Structure of Society) ► How has the world worked? (Interpretations of History) ► How should the world Work? (visions for the future)

37. Nature of Human Beings ► Are people generally good or bad? ► Do you trust people you do not know or have to have that trust earned? ► This will be individual and not the same in all situations.

44. What are some of these?
