Ideology and Identity: An Example of Ideology-In-Action.
Ideology is both a belief and a practice. This paper will explicate the intricate relationship that ideology has with identity. How we identify ourselves in society is intimately related to dominant ideologies. This paper will define "ideology" and it's necessary associate term, "hegemony." An outline of an example for making an argument about the relations between the ideology (the State) and identity in society will be addressed. A brief discussion of the impacts such State-based ideological practices have on social identities will be looked at. 11 pgs. 33 f/c. 6b.
