SYNONYMS FOR dogma 1 doctrine, teachings, set of beliefs, philosophy. 2 tenet, canon, law. 4 conviction, certainty.

So dogma is only a tool and has no inherent good or bad in it. It’s the humans who might use the tool that use dogma in virtuous or perverse ways.

Dogmatic people are very firm their convictions, which usually come from some authority. The authority is often religious, but it doesn’t have to be. Anything dogmatic is by the book. If you’re dogmatic, you’re 100% sure of your system despite evidence to the contrary. Dogmatic can also mean close-minded.

1a : something held as an established opinion especially : a definite authoritative tenet. b : a code of such tenets pedagogical dogma. c : a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds.

An example of dogma is the Ten Commandments in the Christian faith. A principle or statement of ideas, or a group of such principles or statements, especially when considered to be authoritative or accepted uncritically.

Religious dogmatism is the most dangerous factor against wellbeing. Dogmatic individuals have an inflexible cognitive system that emerges as a stable personality trait and decreases their adjustment with environment. Affective well-being and cognitive wellbeing are affected by individual adjustment.

Here’s how you avoid dogma.

1. Allow Your Beliefs to Be Questioned. Anything that fails to grow dies.
2. Purposely Seek Conflicting Ideas. An even more powerful way to avoid having your beliefs become dogma is to purposely seek out conflicting ideas.
3. Become Agnostic.
4. Questions.

The dogmatic personality style is characterized by oversimplified thinking, resistance to changing attitudes or beliefs, and appealing to authority to justify their beliefs.

Dogmatic goes back to the Greek words dogma, which means basically “what one thinks is true” and dogmatikos, “pertaining to doctrine.” To be dogmatic is to follow a doctrine relating to morals and faith, a set of beliefs that is passed down and never questioned.

1 : having or producing dark tones only with little contrast. 2 : of low intensity : restrained.

2. The definition of low key is someone or something that is relatively calm, placid or not full of excitement. An example of a low key party is one where people sit around and quietly talk. An example of a low key person is someone who doesn’t get easily mad or show wild swings of emotion.

Low-key individuals tend to be more selfless and less self-absorbed, which may help explain why they’re arguably more disciplined than those who can’t see past their own needs. People who are low key also tend to be less trendy than most others.

Low-key can variously mean “quiet,” “restrained,” “moderate,” or “easygoing.” It can also behave as an adverb meaning “of low or moderate intensity.” Like doing something, but in a “chill” way.

So what do they mean? Some people say they use lowkey to mean kinda or to verbally mark something that should be kept private, while they might use highkey to suggest that they’re trying to be relaxed about something and failing.

It’s a slang word and it means something like “secretly”, to tell someone something in secret, not for attention.

The rap scholars at Genius have decided, on this track at least, that “lowkey means keeping things secret while highkey means letting everyone know.”
