Ideology is combining and harmonisation of the way of thinking, feelings, and explanation of human attitudes towards life that suggests a leadership system to balance thinking. This column not only reflects the author's views but also contains an ideology that can influence the way readers think and behave. Language and ideology are closely related. The use of appropriate language by the author can influence, change, or even control the way readers understand and think about the ideas conveyed in their work, so that they can accept and believe in the author's ideology.
