Cultural Ideology.....................a changing spectrum of ideas but what I want to focus on is the power we the people have on our cultural ideology. One may ask why do we define culture maybe we should just let it happen, "naturally".........I say the defining has allowed us to change our culture ever so slightly. Western culture was once a Warrior culture, at least in western Europe hundreds of years ago; yet somehow we transformed into a economical based culture and now we rear our children to buy instead of fight. (I am generalizing) This did not happen over night but it is in seeing the culture and all it's faults do we try to change it. I may not be too happy with our consumer obsessed society but I sure as hell am pleased at the changes in the ideology, especially being a woman, and I believe this has only come with identifying the culture and actively trying to change it. Our culture may be fed to us by history and the powers that be but we the people can have an effect on the ever changing ideologies of culture. Unfortunately this process is a slow one and may never be realized in our own lifetimes but it is for prosperity that we make these changes.
