This study aims to investigate the social construction of
ideology through the use of words choices in the selected
text. It is important to view how socio- political and socio- religious ideologies help in shaping and building identity,
and how the author has presented her ideological stance
through complementary strategy of ‘us vs. them’, by
attributing positive qualities to the author’s in-group, and
describing ‘others’ highlighting negative attributes in them.
By employing van Dijk’s ‘socio-cognitive’ (1998) model the
study also looks at how social actors and discourse
participants are represented, and what are their roles in her
identity building process. The findings suggest that the
discursive strategies are used by the author to portray herself
positively and others negatively
