Abstract
Social ideology is a set of conscious or unconscious ideas about one's thinking modes, values, and wills. It applies abstract thoughts to specific matters such as people’s views of arts, religions, morality and literature. Social ideology originates from the long-term development of society. Different backgrounds endow social ideology with different characteristics and embodiments. The Catcher in the Rye written by J.D. Salinger is recognized as a classic in the study of American social ideology in the 1950s. In this paper, the author takes this novel as an example to discuss American social ideology in that period.
This paper consists of four parts. The first part describes the background and themes of The Catcher in the Rye. The second part explains the definition and origin of social ideology as well as the characteristics of American social ideology at that time. The third part discusses American social ideology in the 1950s seen from the novel mainly in three aspects: rebellious ways of thinking, pursuit of materials and loss of individuality. The fourth part discusses the factors affecting American social ideology in terms of economy, politics and culture in the 1950s. The author expects to guide readers to apprehend the social and historical environment in the 1950s and facilitate people to lay emphasis on not only the material life but the spiritual life.
Key words: in the 1950s; The Catcher in the Rye; social ideology;
