I was watching a movie in my class called "The Big Lebowski" and my teacher gave us an assignment and he asked the class this question, "Notice how the dude tends to repeat language used by various and social figures in the film(i.e when he borrows "This aggression will not stand" from the President Bush). What might the film be saying about language and context? How does the context for a given phrase help determine the language's ideology?

When the world looks at things they see the problem at hand not the whole thing." this aggression will not stand" looks good on the surface but look at the long term consequences.
The ideology expressed is short sighted.
I hope that helps and makes sence
