Question 5

Ideology is the science of ideas, aka common sense. It constructs everyday and how we treat each other. Hegemony is ideology constructed in things like education, everyday life, institutions, family or the workplace. Pretty much everything we do and everywhere we go involves ideology, including the urinal game. In this game it is common sense that you are walking into the men's bathroom because your character is a man. Hegemony is seen when you are supposed to pick the "right" spot to go and stand when there are other men scattered around the different urinals. This game tests your knowledge oh how to treat others and not invade their privacy.
