Hey fellow internet users.
In my post I am going to be talking about 'hegemony'. The definition of Hegemony is a political form of leadership and ideological domination that creates power of society. "Hegemony is the political leadership and idenlogical domination of society"P361. Hegemony is a false conscience for example for a teenager, such as programmes which are Towie, Gordie shore or the XFactor they create a certain image that teenagers will start to follow without realising that they are copping these stars that they are watching on television. Simon Cowell has a large part in this as he creates an image on the XFactor which many people will find appealing and will start going into shops like Topshop and H&M which have especially factored for this type of style. this type of life style is being sold to us so that the people at the top are making money.
