Ideology




    Man is blessed with unimaginable system that they used to relate situations and other act that requires critical thinking. God gave man the brain to think and make unimaginable things to come into existence. It has been discovered that the brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. The brain is made up of many specialized areas that work together: • The cortex is the outermost layer of brain cells. The brain can fetch you an idea which you can monetize it in a legal way, "Dinosaurs had huge bodies but small brains. You don't need a big body to have a big brain,” Schreiber said. “The more complex the species' social structures, the bigger their neocortexes.”

    What is Ideology? According to Merriam Webster dictionary, An Ideology is a manner or the content of thinking characteristic of an individual, group, or culture. Let break the keywords in the definition;
1. Manner is a way of acting or behaving.
2. Content is a satisfied or showing satisfaction with things as they are.
3. Thinking is the process of using your mind to consider something carefully.
The manner at which we built an idea and the content of the idea will reveal to the public the way we think. 
The best selling idea is the idea that came from unexpected source, the idea that attracts the public and has great impact on them and it becomes an ideology when others used the formula and it works for them. According to Willard A. Mullins, an ideology should be contrasted with the related (but different) issues of utopia and historical myth . An ideology is composed of four basic characteristics: 

1. it must have power over cognition;
2. it must be capable of guiding one's
evaluations ;
3. it must provide guidance towards action; and
4. it must be logically coherent.

Types of Ideologies.

Both ideologies has helped humans to live and survive in this unethical world, where mystery are yet to be discovered. Many ideas are backbones of some inventories, without critical thinking, the world would still be in Theological era (August Comte, who is referred to the Father of sociology and a philosopher) Theological era is an era where men will be using the olden days means of communication to interact, olden days technology to utilize their work etc. the world would have suffered a lot if those ideas are not discovered.

   Ideas that form one's aims, expectations and actions . It may be a connected set of ideas, or a style of thought, or a world-view, One's ideas has a long way to go, even when the ideologist is no more, in as much as the ideas solve humanity problems or provide solution to it, it will forever be celebrated, According to An adapted qoute in an Indian movie, it goes thus, "Hey! You can kill a man but you can't kill his ideologies" i.e Your principle, discoveries and idea can live million years without diminishing.
