2. Ideology Beliefs that manipulate an individual (or groups) world view and their conduct. They allow an explanation for views in nature; past, present, and future; as well as society. For example: Some Catholics believe strongly in all church teachings, while others believe that issues like birth control, the freedom for priests to get married, or concepts on sin in general are outdated. Thus examination of an ideology must account for variation. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/about/bios/GlennGallery_2.html

For example: in some house holds, eating alone is a regularity (rather than eating as a family) because it allows each individual to do their own thing. http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://individualism.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/happy_individualism_trs4.me.jpg&imgrefurl=http://individualism.co.uk/2009/10/join-the-individualism-team/&usg=__cFu63GnHrFj2A510QIrwEcu2IG8=&h=600&w=800&sz=35&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=ff6sVfJCB08lpM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=169&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dindividualism%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26biw%3D1419%26bih%3D694%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1134&vpy=72&dur=2515&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=36&ty=25&ei=6NiPTPbwAY2WsgOUsY2yDg&oei=6NiPTPbwAY2WsgOUsY2yDg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0
