In response to Q5, I want to say that by creating Hegemony, is the way to standardize everything. In this case, as the book mentioned, powerful Capitalist people, by means of economy and by the use of oppression (police, jail, military, etc) and by means of controlling information: media, schools' and universities' curricula, literature, churches, philosophy, and corporate ideologies is how the ruling classes establish hegemony.
ReplyDeleteSince oppression comes from different sources, resistance, too, must come from different sectors, such as resistance by gender, by nationality, by ethnicity, by race, by age, or by occupational grouping.
