Ideology

What is Ideology?
Ideology is a set of ideas that constitues ones expactations of something. Ideology is a comprehensive vision and a certain way of looking at things.
Ideologies are systems of abstract thought applied to public matters and therefore making the concept central to politics.

Truths- 
These are some truths which many people believe are natural in todays society. However, some people may think that these truths can be challenged in todays society.
- A women's place is in the home.
- Its natural that some people are rich and some people are poor.
- Education is important
- Boys will be boys- rough and tumble.
We see many of these truths shown in the news, and the news can be seen as a window of the world. If we did not have the news in todays society we would not know about many of society issues and triumphs in todays world.

Norms- 
Ideology can make us normalise many media texts and if we do decide to normalise something we accept it as behaviour and we don't question this norm.

Representations-
Dictatorships, tyrants, 18th century, view of african people, naziism.
The media represents images of social interaction and social institutions on a daily basis. This is because these ideologies are repeated, they shape broad social definitions.
