Document Summary
Sq4r: survey, question, read, respond, record, and review. Ideologies help to organize, explain and evaluate events, the rightness (or wrongness) of social arrangements (structure of power) That ideology which is most widely shared and which has the greatest impact. It acts to reproduce and legitimate the social structure of a society as it is. The social critic and the social analyst seek other explanations, they question the assumptions (page 1) Then there are those who embrace a counter-ideology based on a different set of ideas. Counter ideologies arise when the reality of your social experience contradicts the dominant ideology. Ideology is what we transmit to people about social order. We are more familiar with other forms of power, more directly experienced: Political power: the state or government uses force (military or police) and legal coercion. Ideological power: the dominant ideology has such great power because it denies its own existence. They grow out of the same social organization.
