IDEOLOGY: DEFINITION AND STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS (IDEOLOGY WORLDVIEWS Book 3)

Ideology, worldview, belief system etc are an important area of study especially in the emerging world scenario. Every person has his own worldview, and it is defining and controlling his behavior. Hence understanding the truth claims or worldviews of people, is extremely important. It really matters what every person believes. That is, a worldview is ultimately religious in character, not simply cultural or social. Religion is seen as a way in which human beings grapple with issues of life and death, ultimate questions, and so on.

Every ideology has four elements inherent in itself. They the historical consciousness, perception of the situation, action orientation and action. These do influence the behavior of individual or nation.
