capitalist ideology which it is the one that we sharein the twenty first century. So even though the foundation is thesame, their concept of equality among all people is very divergentfrom the one we hold, the libertarian view of things made peoplethink as if they were independent and different from each other, andWiredu clearly show the dependency that all humans have to eachother; the Western ideology is one of independence from each othersince we are very competitive and individualistic. Reciprocity andcommunal society is also clear when Wiredu presents that the tribalrights don't have to be enforced in order to be a right, instead theyare principles that everybody agree to and everybody participate innfor the simple fact of being a person, if an International order wasto be implanted this would be a good way of seeing it, as rationalprinciples that individuals hold by their factual status of a personthat participate in and exist with the world, independent of theirnational status or monetary power. Since by having this principles inmind a more interdependent way of seeing the other could be achievedand the virtue of reciprocity could start to affect individuals andtheir private interests. The shift in ideology is veryclear, going from the Akan to the Western taught, while the Akan helda mutually beneficial community with rights, the Western holdsautonomous individuals that have rights but don't necessarily enjoythem due to lack of capital or citizenship. According to socialisteconomist Karl Marx the ideology of dialectical materialism,considers that "social being determines consciousness", ie,"the mode of production of material life conditions thedevelopment of social life, intellectual, and political as a whole."(3) This means that expressions of human consciousness - includingmoral - are a reflection of the relationships men establish insociety to produce its existence, and therefore change as the modesof production change, we can see in the Akan analysis by Wiredu thattheir ideology was a much more egalitarian than the liberal moraltheory due to both a small scale/tribal production process, andessentially to their definitions of what constitute a person and howinterdependence is the essence of everyone. A world economy based ontrade, foreign commodities and specialization have shifted the wayindividuals see themselves and the things we deal with in oureveryday life. The over appreciation of the material world and themarket economy created both a inconsideration of the individual, orthe other, as well as a division of people based precisely on theirmaterial possessions. Marx seeks to recover man in productiveactivity which determines the relations of production that are veryspecific according to time and place. This type of analysis allowsone to observe that where there is society divided into classes withantagonistic interests, the moral of the ruling class dominates,imposes itself on the dominant class and becomes an ideological toolto maintain their domination. One example is that people that areconsidered of a lower class want to buy goods that are unachievableto them in order to be similar to the higher class, in Economics wecall this activity conspicuous consumption, in which the lower classisn't aware of themselves and of their limitations, but instead wantto show off that their purchasing power is high, illusively,
