Style and ideology
Explain the terms style
and ideology how do they affect the expression?
In very simple words,
ideology is a belief system assumed by a group of people and the implementation
of some system, rules and mechanism according to their benefits.it is hidden
force on speech and written texts as well. It is also internal programming in
real life experiences but in the world of texts, it is normally unnoticed by
all. In written or spoken texts, a remark made to someone, an evaluation or judgement
made everywhere there is the implementation of an ideology.
In written text while using
'MS', while addressing the chief guest as 'the chair' in the meeting, saying
'terrorist' to 'freedom fighter' there are under functioning of ideology. The
ideological charge is imposed in day-to-day experiences and dealings. Same
concept can have two-perspective (plus-minus/left –right).
If some government authority
says 'our nation always defend its freedom', there are so many hidden aspect like
of what? From what? For whom? To do what? etc. in this sense the ideological
position occurs when we became agreed or
disagreed in accepting some concepts. We can illustrate it in the following
example. Example. "It is every individual right to live freely." In the
statement there is sense that a thief should get right for robbing and looting,
a smuggler should do his work normally, a common citizen should live according
to his/her choice, etc. there are different impression created by this
statement in different people due to ideological perspectives. There are
consciously or unconsciously, viewpoints of writer or speaker with their
values, attitudes, prejudices to create a text. This means there is ideological
patterning in every remark unseen or implicit. The thing, which is not,
mentioned explicitly by speaker or writer but that aspect controls whole text
is ideological programming. For example, in boxing commentary, there is only
highlight about the winner, his/her punching, aggressiveness, attacks etc. the
loser or would be loser is demoralized by name, fame, illustration, and money.
There is a convention of presentation of boxing commentary in the uniformity
pattern. In short we can say that ideology is built into all subjects,
presentation, statement, remarks, human relations etc.
