WHAT DOES IDEOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ideology

Ideology

An ideology is a set of conscious and unconscious ideas that constitute one's goals, expectations, and actions. An ideology is a comprehensive normative vision, a way of looking at things, as argued in several philosophical tendencies, and/or a set of ideas proposed by the dominant class of a society to all members of this society, as suggested in some Marxist and Critical theory accounts. While the concept of "ideology" describes a set of ideas broad in its normative reach, an ideology is less encompassing than as expressed in concepts such worldview, imaginary and ontology. Ideologies are systems of abstracted meaning applied to public matters, thus making this concept central to politics. Implicitly, in societies that distinguish between public and private life, every political or economic tendency entails an ideology, whether or not it is propounded as an explicit system of thought.

Definition of ideology in the English dictionary

The first definition of ideology in the dictionary is a body of ideas that reflects the beliefs and interests of a nation, political system, etc and underlies political action. Other definition of ideology is the set of beliefs by which a group or society orders reality so as to render it intelligible. Ideology is also speculation that is imaginary or visionary.

Alfonso Cuaron
When you strip hope from people, it leaves a void, and that void needs to be filled. And very likely, that void is going to be filled by an ideology... Hope and faith are so connected. Now, when ideology connects with faith, the ideology becomes an item of faith, not a point of discussion.
7
Wendy Davis
When I first put my hat in the ring, several very tried and true and loyal Democratic activists from our community said, 'What? She's not a Democrat. She's a Republican.' I took that as a compliment, you know, that people didn't necessarily know what my ideology might be because I wasn't driven by that.

Mohamed ElBaradei
Whether one believes in evolution, intelligent design, or Divine Creation, one thing is certain. Since the beginning of history, human beings have been at war with each other, under the pretext of religion, ideology, ethnicity and other reasons. And no civilization has ever willingly given up its most powerful weapons.
