A Shared Aspirational Ideal is a ideal that is actively upheld by a group of individuals.

  • Context:
    • It can (typically) serve as a guiding principle or value that unites group or community members.
    • It can (often) be rooted in cultural, ethical, or religious beliefs that are widely accepted by the group.
    • It can inspire collective actions, social movements, and policy decisions aimed at achieving or maintaining the ideal.
    • It can vary widely across different societies, cultures, and historical periods, reflecting diverse values and priorities.
    • It can be articulated through symbols, narratives, and rituals that reinforce its significance within the group.
    • It can evolve as the group's circumstances and understanding of the ideal change.
    • It can be challenged or redefined in the face of new social, economic, or political realities.
