ABSTRACT
It is believed that the term “ideology” was coined by French nobleman Antoine Louis Claude Destutt, Comte de Tracy in his Dissertation sur Quelques Questions d’Ideologie, and a series of works entitled Projet d’Elements d’Ideologie and related papers. This chapter describes that the reactivation of a chosen trauma prepares a society to reactivate an entitlement ideology. Entitlement ideologies refer to a shared sense of entitlement to recover what was lost in reality and fantasy during a collective trauma that evolved as a chosen trauma and during other related shared traumas. A political ideology sometimes appeared as systematic and all-embracing political doctrine that justified intrusion into societal and personal lives in global ways. Indeed, many political ideologies have direct or indirect origins that emerged from religious beliefs and religious understanding of human morality and rights of people as they relate to divine power.
