Exam 17: How Does Globalization Impact Intercultural Relationships
Explain hegemony and give an example of how popular culture can be hegemonic.
Hegemony refers to the dominance or leadership of one group over others. It involves the use of power, influence, and authority to maintain control and establish a particular worldview or set of values as the norm. In the context of popular culture, hegemony can be seen in the way that certain cultural products, such as music, movies, fashion, and social media, are promoted and consumed by a large portion of society, shaping their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.
An example of how popular culture can be hegemonic is the global influence of American entertainment and media. Hollywood movies, American music, and television shows often set the standard for what is considered cool, trendy, or desirable in many parts of the world. This dominance can lead to the marginalization of local or indigenous cultures, as well as the perpetuation of certain stereotypes and ideals that align with American values and perspectives. As a result, people may adopt these cultural norms and preferences without critically examining their impact, reinforcing the hegemonic influence of American popular culture.
