What term refers to organized patterns of beliefs, symbols, and values?

  1. Ideology

  2. Sociology

  3. Psychology

  4. Anthropology

The correct answer is: Ideology

Ideology refers to organized patterns of beliefs, symbols and values, making it the most fitting choice compared to the other options. Sociology mainly studies social behavior and society as a whole, while psychology focuses on the mind and behavior of individuals. Anthropology deals with the study of human societies and cultures, but it does not explicitly mention organized patterns. Therefore, A is the most relevant choice for the given question.
