Document Summary
An ideology is a package of cultural and social assumptions that influence a person"s understanding and action. Ideology is what seems to you to be entirely natural and obvious, but to others appears strange, annoying or threatening (m. sharples, 159). Authorities have the answers, and if i work hard and read every word, i will learn them too. Good authorities don"t give me the right answer, which they possess; instead they give me problems that will show me how to find the right answer. In certain areas, the authorities disagree among themselves, but this is only because they are still working on getting the right answers. Level 4: commitment to relativism: in situations where authorities don"t know the right answer, all options are equally good and/or, in certain areas, authorities are less interested in having me come up with a right.
