"One way for the powerful to maintain the status quo is to define society's dominant ideology - the set of cultural beliefs and practices that supports powerful social, economic, and political interests. From a conflict perspective, society's most powerful groups and institutions control not only wealth and property but the means of influencing people's cultural beliefs through religion, education, and the media" (Abercrombie et al, 1980, 1990; Robertson 1988).
