You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|October 2004|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.

In a "dialectic process, one ideology wins out over the others (the very aim of such process is to achieve the triumph of one over the other).

In a "dialogic process", various approaches coexist, are existential but interacting with each other. Each ideology can hold more salience in particular circumslances. Changes can be made within these ideologies if a strategy does not have the desired effect. Thus, these entities do not necessarily merge into bigger entities as in the dialectic process, but nonetheless modify themselves (sometimes fundamentally) over the course of mutual interaction.

These two distinctions are observed in studies of individual identities, national identities and group identities.
