Bitmap Images
A bitmap graphic (raster) is basically a large grid with a lot of little squares (pixels). The pixels are so close together that they appear connected. The resolution of an image describes how fine the dots are that make up that image. The more dots, the higher the resolution.
Bitmap Advantages
Bitmaps can represent complex,photographic images; the grid can be filled with thousands or millions of subtle variations of colour. Bitmaps are quite universal – almost any program can work with simple bitmap file formats.
Vector Images
Vector graphics consist of points, lines, and curves which, when combined, can form complex objects. These objects can be filled with solid colours, gradients, and even patterns. So it’s point A, connected to point B by a line of some shape, with the shape of that line defined by a little mathematical description. More points and more lines can make more complex shapes. The line that defines the vector shape is referred to as the path.

Ideology
• “Ideology” is a loaded word. It can mean many different things. One common meaning of the term is “false consciousness,” i.e. a system of ideas that is a problem because it presents a false picture of the world.
• For example, for several decades, the US supported undemocratic right-wing governments like Kuwait’s and Guatemala’s dictatorships, but was hostile to relatively democratic left-wing governments like that of Chile’s Salvador Allende. Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman explain this pattern as the result of systematic distortion or lying on the part of the mainstream media coupled to “the ideology of anticommunism.” People were mislead by the falsehoods in the media.
