How is an image icon connected to ideology? An image icon is connected to ideology by the values of images in are everyday life. icons are religous images that has sacred value, that presents universal concepts such as, emotions and meanings. For example, when you see a cross what do you think christianity or crusificion of christ. so an icon is an image and ideology is its value you us as human beings. I have also learned, that ideology is a powerful word and can be used crudely to show false representation to lure people into holding beliefs that conpromise their own intrested. ideology is to explore the meaning of images to recognize that they are produced within dynamics and social power, they also are systems of belief that exist within all cultures. ideology is seen everywhere in are lives its are values and beliefs ideologys are much like connotations that appears to be natural. ideology are produced and affirmed through the social instiutions that characerize a given society, such as family, education,medicine, the law ,the goverment, along with the entertainment industry etc...., ideology is the world of entertainment. ideologies go so far to it being are identiftication ,pictures ,video tapes anything that shows its you is your ideology and can be used as evidence in a court room. in other words ideology = images of you and your everyday life. images can be anything as far as a video, picture,camera records along with credit records and much more. A very good example of ideology would be O.J Simpsons murder trial their was a picture taken of O.J Simpsons that appeared on Times and News week Magazine , but what people dont know they made O.J face darker than it oppeared making him look evil like he would be the killer they also did this it looks like to imply that he is guilty before he even takes the stand. This shows how magazine publishers try to show the side of what they hear before they even know the truth they will do anything to sell there magazine. This example goes for advertisers to they put the best of the best artist, models and athlets along with what they advertising to make you believe that if you where to buy that product you would look or smell like that person. Advertisments and publisher try unconditonally to get into your mind to believe what they want you to believe about their product or drama on a star.
I like to think about icons as negative stimulus and at some time can be postive it is anything that gives brings back strong emotions that bring on a sense of sadness or happyness. icons can go from the littlest thing to the biggest thing in history that has a symbolic meaning to it to you.
Connotation is used strongly in the meaning of images they are used to signify cultural codes thier images that signify gendered racial, or class-specific meanings. image codes change though over different contexts, like a smile its meant many things thoughout history it could stand for a secreat like the mona lisa that emerged in the 1960's, A smile it could symbolize happiness, excitement etc ... these cultural codes have created many new meaning thorough technology to day like the smile face most seen at the end of messages. when you look into a picture or any kind of image you should always look at cultural codes meaning every little detail and what that detail could mean that would give you your value of images what that image means to you.
