	Dangerous Assumptions
		Assumptions provide important clues to the hidden workings of any ideological system, and hence warrant concern, reflection, and critical debate, especially when such assumptions lead to innocent people's deaths.
		The noxious effects of the racist assumptions and ideologies metastasizing throughout American society are evident in the shameless call on national television by an elected US official, Dick Armey, for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
		If we don't hold a critical mirror up to US and Israeli racist ideological assumptions, if we don't question the received wisdom undergirding both countries' brutal actions and arrogant attitudes, we are setting the stage for many years of bloodshed, hatred, and violence.

	Ideological assumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ideological assumptions are beliefs that often serve as the basis for particular disciplines which go unquestioned within that discipline or as justifications for the actions of a particular society.
		These assumptions have historically existed in the sciences, including the social sciences, and many argue that they are an implicit part of any society's belief system and continue to exist today.
		The uncovering of ideological assumptions in the field of history tends to raise questions about whether or not a certain level of subjectivity is necessarily a part of historical inquiry.

	Talk:Ideological assumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Worse the long list of "assumptions" looks like flamebait, since there is nothing linking to any articles on the subject of their truth or falsity, even though these "assumptions" are matters of the greatest interest.
		Basically, it is used, not to talk about assumptions about ideology, but to talk about the way certain assumptions form the bases for a belief system, such as modern-day scientism, religious beliefs, eugenics, and so on.
		For a term that is supposedly used to undermine the tendency to dismiss arguments, theories, or ideas without actually exploring their rigor and value to then be used to do exactly that would suggest that new ideological assumptions are being formed behind it.

		The hypothesis that "the tree was knocked over by marauding 200 meter tall space aliens" requires several additional assumptions (eg, concerning the very existence of aliens, their ability to travel interstellar distances and an alien biology that allows them to be 200 meters tall in terrestrial gravity) and is therefore inferior.
		For example, one of the "common sense" ideas that scientists believed for a long time is that any measurable property of an object is something that exists in the object before it is measured, and our measurements are merely observations of that pre-existing condition; Quantum mechanics rejects this, because experiments have contradicted it.
		This "rational reconstruction", as it is known, of the history of science is then used to justify certain ideological assumptions, producing what might tentatively be called a mythology of science.

	Language Wars: The Ideological Dimensions Of The Debates
		The persuasive force of ideologies that ground debates on taken-for-granted assumptions lead to Gardiner's (1992) views that ideology is "intimately connected with the art of rhetoric--the ability to persuade through emotive phrases or force of conviction rather than rational argumentation" (p.
		One function of these ideological role models is to present convergence of perspectives between non-minority and minority agents or else to present the image that an organization in question is not entirely composed of non-minority persons and to consequently show that its perspectives are not held exclusively by non-minority people.
		However, the ideological dimensions of the debate need to be addressed in order to make apparent hidden assumptions; the mere presence of bilinguals in debates over bilingual education does not insure their function as mediators/cultural brokers.

	Conclusions and Recommendations
		Attempts to categorize ideological approaches to an understanding of nature and naturalness have been numerous, resulting in a complex body of literature which is helpful in describing specific ideological perspectives, but does little to provide a means of generalizing the range of existing opinion.
		Since concepts of naturalness underlie many of our assumptions regarding both the management of resources and the ecological sciences upon which that management is based, an understanding of naturalness, in both an ideological and an ecological sense, may in turn be regarded as a necessary starting point in understanding resource management's methods and objectives.
		Many of the ideological differences involved in evaluating naturalness can perhaps be set aside when the issue of naturalness is addressed specifically in the context of ecological analysis--at least if it is acknowledged that those ideological concerns will play their own substantial role within the decision making and resource allocation aspects of management.

		The ideological assumptions of family, work and nation, underpinning the neo-liberal welfare regime of the Conservative governments of the 1980s and the 1990s were promoted vigorously, despite being at considerable odds with reality.
		The restructuring of the labour market saw an increase in casual and flexible employment patterns, with increasing numbers of married women entering paid employment, and this together with high unemployment throughout the 18 years of Tory government, was perhaps most responsible for undermining the work ethic advocated by the New Right.
		Whereas the ideological assumptions associated with the New Right approach were straightforward and aggressively liberal, those of New Labour, elected into government in 1997, were decidedly ambiguous.

	The Human Limits of Nature
		This assumption that scientific naturalism applies to man and to all of his works is fundamental; it is the sine qua non of psychology and of the social - or some would say the 'behavioural', and others would say the 'human' - sciences.
		They are all founded on the further assumption that the aspects of man which are most significantly human, that is, his mental functions, are based ultimately on natural processes: to put it in its simplest form, that the brain, as a physiological system, is the organ of the mind.
		In both cases the manifest content of statements is falsified by consciousness' unreflected tie to interests, despite its illusion of autonomy.’[15] Attempts to analyse ideologies seek to replace the alleged whole with a clear and demystified picture of the part of society whose interests are being served.

		Specifically, I contend that the ideological relationship between a three-judge panel, the full circuit, and the Supreme Court should all interact with the ideological orientation of the panel's decision when the circuit decides whether or not to review the panel en banc.

		This process of revealing “common sense” assumptions can be important because, as Fairclough (1989) writes, “If one becomes aware that a particular aspect of common sense is sustaining power inequalities at one’s own expense, it ceases to be common sense, and may cease to have the capacity to sustain power inequalities” (p.

	Challenging Basic Assumptions
		This question is essentially an ideological one, and we react to it in different ways, depending to a great extent on our own ideological leanings.
		We all do, of course, have such "ideological leaning" (see Nelson and Olin, 1979, for a discussion of the ways the ideological biases of historians affect the variety of theories purporting to account for the occurrence of war, and Sampson, 1977, 1981, and Hogan and Emler, 1978, for a discussion of bias in social psychology).
		The pure scientists hold the ideological position that science, in striving for objectivity, should not advocate change at all; advocacy, in this view, is not the scientist's job, and the scientist is not responsible for society's use of scientific data.

		This accounts for ideological flexibility and for the overlap, continuous transformation, and regrouping of ideological families.
		Ideological cores are refined by the adjacent and peripheral ideas in which they are located and by their complex interrelationship with political practice.
		Hence, ideologies are located at the meeting point between logic (internal constraints on their permutations), culture (the impact of social practices and events over time and space) and the regularities of morphological patterning that they display.

		A basic assumption seems to be that conflict among groups of people is inherently and fundamentally bad and we should strive to eliminate it within the established framework of institutions, rather than seeing conflict and contradiction as the basic 'driving forces' in society.
		The language of 'rules of activity' is less analytically troublesome than the distinction often made between thought and action, since it implies that the distinction is somewhat naive and enables action-perceptual, conceptual, and bodily-to be the fundamental category of an individual's response to his or her situation.
		While we often use rules of activity and assumptions interchangeably, the point should be made that assumptions usually connote a less inclusive category of phenomena and are actually indicative of the existence of these socially sedimented rules and boundaries that seem to affect even our very perceptions.

		However, the ideological implications of cultural mythologies are particularly problematic in the sophisticated contexts of mass media.
