Ideology is a comprehensive set of normative beliefs, conscious and unconscious ideas, that an individual, group or society has.
An ideology is narrower in scope than the ideas expressed in concepts such as worldview, imaginary and ontology.
Political ideologies can be proposed by the dominant class of society such as the elite to all members of society as suggested in some Marxist and critical-theory accounts. In societies that distinguish between public and private life, every political or economic tendency entails ideology, whether or not it is propounded as an explicit system of thought.Template:Explain
In the Althusserian sense, ideology is "the imagined existence (or idea) of things as it relates to the real conditions of existence".
