In my opinion the most important thing I have learned about in this class is hegemony and its negative effects it has on our society. Hegemony was the first most important thing that stuck out to me in the course simply because it is the basis for nearly all of our socioeconomic problems. Hegemony contributes to the gender roles that play a big part in the other problems we try so hard to stop yet see no improvements on. For example violence in schools, domestic violence, discrimination, and much more. The behavior classified with hegemony and hegemonic people is controlling and or seeking ascendancy, or subordination through poor behavior to gain control of people, situations, etc. Hegemony extends far beyond gaining control through poor behavior …show more content…
I even noticed hegemonic behavior in my personality that I have removed very quickly, because I feel that it was basically a poison in my life. Hegemony is a very ugly trait and only downsizes your growth as a human, and takes away from the person you truly are. Hegemonic behavior from other people has had a severe negative effect on my life. As I continue to go through my cycles I see it effect a lot of other innocent people too and they have no idea. There for personally hegemonic masculinity is most important for that reason especially. It has brought no good qualities or memories in my life that I need, only sad and or unhappy memories. I’ve seen hegemony tear friendships, relationships, job opportunities, and much more apart. The effects from hegemonic behavior in the end are only negative, and if I would have learned of hegemony earlier my life would be much farther along than it is now. However I am thankful to have learned of hegemony now, and I am happy to say that I have already rid my life of most hegemonic behavior, and working on ridding hegemony

Faye Junos Diversity 410 Inquiry Paper People will be People Is there a problem with letting ‘boys be boys’ and ‘girls be girls’? I selected this question because after my experience in schools, I have noticed that the treatment of boys and girls still fall under strict stereotypes. I want to explore the implications of these stereotypes, so I focused on the inferences made about boys and girls within physical education. Our bodies are more than vehicles for our brains. They are essentially the instruments…

Essay about The Cook the Thief

sometimes, the collective work of authors specialised in this type of writing. Hollywood’s style, myths, cults and dreams, and especially its present worldwide film hegemony, don’t reach out to or attract everyone; quite the contrary. In the forefront of these people is Peter Greenaway, the English film director who is the subject of this paper. To say about Greenaway that he is an ‘independent’ director wouldn’t be wrong, but the term would prove insufficient to qualify him. On the contemporary British…
