Document Summary
Module #3: popular music, videos and pedagogy (part iii) Ideographs, better de ned below, are basically texts that are pregnant" with ideological commitment, .

They hold different meanings for different people, yet in general they create positive feelings with most of the american public, hence their common usage in political speeches.
