Chapter 6 - Ideology

In chapter 6 there is discussion about ideology and how it touches every aspect of life. It is displayed in words, and actions. Ideology is a "system of ideas that serve as the basis of a political or economic theory." Ideology is essentially what founded this country into the shape that it is today. Essentially men wanted a government that ran a certain way, thus they set forth to develop a nation the way they desired it. Ideology is used in businesses as well. It is the idea/purpose the company has designed and desired to obtain prior to the establishment of the company.
Ideology is essential in the development of many things. Everything from small to large arises from ideology.

Ideology does indeed show up everyday all the time. There is, in a sense, an ideaology behind everything we do as well as the choices we make. Our ideaologies can and do often times remain hidden in our unconscious. We are often unaware of when our ideaologies sneak up and take precedence in our decisions, but they do nonetheless.
