Hegemony

By definition hegemony is the process by which dominant culture maintains its dominant position: for example, the use of institutions to formalize power; the employment of a bureaucracy to make power seem abstract (and, therefore, not attached to any one individual); the inculcation of the populace in the ideals of the hegemonic group through education, advertising, publication, etc.

Now, dealing with women’s rights, I think that everything is based on equality. Without equality nothing will be considered “fair”. If you were looking into a job and it was going to be decided between you or a male, you would hope that they wouldn’t even look at the sex, just the resume and qualifications. But that doesn’t always happen, people still think that there are jobs that only men qualify for. What I am trying to get across is that women must stick up for themselves. Men shouldn’t think they have the “power” over anyone. Women can do the same jobs that a man can do, and sometimes even better. Women should be able to hold the same power that men have. In same counties women don’t have a say in anything, and although there are still people that look down upon women, the US has come a long way for women’s rights. We have so many privileges here that many women don’t have overseas.
