The development of attitudes and beliefs about a political system is political orientation. It should be realized that political culture has three main components, which are as follows:
1. Cognitive Orientation: This is the knowledge of and belief in the political system, the institutions, functionaries and the policies made by those functionaries.
2. Affective Orientation: This embraces the feelings of attachment, involvement and rejection of political objects.
3. Evaluative Orientation: This concerns people's judgement and opinion about political objects. The people judge according to their preferences and values.
