Video Response
Video
In the Video the narrator tries to give a clear view of the term ideology from his perspective to his daughter. He talks about two forms of Ideologies. First being 'Repressive State Apparatus' and the second being 'Ideological State Apparatus'.
In Represive State Apparatus he relates the job of police and authority which maintain a form of ideology through command on threat of punishment. In this form, the person does not have a choice other than obey the law. Its an ideology forced on the community for their own protection.
At some point in the video the narrator also mentions ideology through persuasion such as money. He relates this to a form of 'Repressive State Apparatus'. Although he claims they are related I see a fundamental difference. When someone is offered some money to do something he is faced with a choice, which is not the case when authority is forced on a person. The former has a choice and choices are unique to the state of mind even with two people with same ideologies.
Ideological State Apparatus is the form of ideology that has personal preference and opinion tied to it. Interestingly people tend to choose an ideology that's accepted widely rather than have something that's unique. Ideologies of the two major political parties in USA can be shown as examples of this, mostly every voting citizen chooses one of those two ideologies even though they don't embrace it 100%.
Its interesting that the narrator thinks these ideologies doesn't necessarily cope with reality, its more of a world you create for your self for your self comfort. In USA the two major political parties have two different ideologies and as long as the community has more than one well accepted ideas, neither of them can be any close to reality. The struggle for reality will exist.
In the case of a Cannibal Tribe, the community holds a single ideology that justifies their actions. The whole community embraces it, so it easily becomes reality.
Review on Althusser Modules
Ideology - A fake world of ideas built on a persons mind that is produced by the unmet conditions of the real life.
Ideology related to Media Literacy
If ideology is the message rhetoric and hegemony are the mediums for that message. Often an Ideology is portrait through hegemony. Rhetorics solidify the ideology fed to the consumers. In General Media Literacy aids in identifying ideology in context which are hidden from a bird eye view.
