HEGEMONY and Question of the Day HEGEMONY and Question of the Day What is the connection between hegemony and the music we listen to? LET’S REVIEW! Hegemony • Domination of power (state, social class, mind) over groups of others. – Force (COERSIVE) – No Force (NONCOERSIVE) People’s Views on Black Stereotypes and Images Ethnic Notions led to these acts… • Road Shows and Carnivals • Slavery • Jim Crow Laws (3/5ths human) • Segregation- Separate but “Equal” The Doll Test How can you connect how Esperanza, in House on Mango Street, felt about Loomis Ave. with HEGEMONY?!? How can you connect how people feel about our neighborhood (122nd Street community) with Esperanza’s Loomis Ave?? GUESS WHO??? Drake to me is… 1. TOO TURNT!! I love his music and style 47% 2. I bump his music when it comes on the radio or play it 27% on my Ipod 3. He’s alright, but I 13% 13% prefer other artists 4. Can’t stand him!!! He’s overrated 1. 2. 3. 4. “Successful” by Drake and Trey Songz Success for Drake is: Success for us is: Drake – The Motto My thoughts on “The Motto” 1. That Song is POPPIN’ and I still love it and memorized the 29% 29% 29% lyrics!! 2. I like the BEAT, but don’t really understand the lyrics 13% 3. I can’t stand that song!!! 4. I have no opinion of that song 1. 2. 3. 4. THINK ABOUT THIS!!! 1. What are some ideas presented in the song? 2. What is the overall message/themes of the song? Write responses in your reflection journal When you control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it. Carter G. Woodson The Mis-education of the Negro How does HEGEMONY work? CONTROL IDEAS HEGEMONY CONTROLLED WORLDVIEW CONTROL ACTIONS What informed my worldview? • Gang Life is Poppin’ • Mistreat Women • Drugs are Cool • Just Chill and Have Fun • Mistreat Women • $$$$ over Everything • Just Chill and Have Fun • You TURNT if you Mistreat Women So what is “THE MOTTO”? Y.O.L.O. = “You only live once” What does that mean for Drake? Think. Pair share LET’S COMPARE! WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO DRAKE? WE, US, OUR COMMUNITY? LET’S COMPARE! WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO DRAKE? WE, US, OUR COMMUNITY? • Girls • $$$ for clean up community • Money build things • Cars • Shelter/homes for • Clubbin everybody • • Parties School supplies • • Music More schools • • Fame More jobs • • $$$$$$$ for self Better wages • YOLO Let’s Take a Deeper, More Critical Look at “The Motto” So how do we challenge HEGEMONIC IDEAS??? WE NEED TO BE COUNTER HEGEMONIC!!! After Critically Analyzing “The Motto”… 1. I am going to stop listening to all of Drake’s songs or any other negative music 68% 2. I am going to keep listening to the music, but I will think twice about what the messages are saying 3. I don’t care what is said, I 21% am still going to love this type of music. 6% 6% 4. I don’t know what I would do 1 2 3 4 1. What’s your motto? 2.What does it mean to you? 3. How is it counter hegemonic? Write responses in journal. Share out. Homework • Think of other forms of MEDIA that informs your “world” – Are there any other songs that “teaches” you things? – Videogames? Movies? TV Shows? • What examples of MEDIA informs your parents??? • List them and be ready to explain… bring them in if you can!!! After seeing this presentation I am feeling… 1. Bored and Don’t Care 2. Shocked and 53% Surprised 3. Happy about how things are in the world 15% 15% 15% 4. Angry and Frustrated 3% 5. Unsure about it all 1 2 3 4 5 I enjoyed this lesson and learned a lot. 1. Strongly Agree 55% 2. Agree 3. Disagree 4. Strongly Disagree 30% 9% 6% 1 2 3 4.

  • “Clean Hands” Doctrine
    Announcing the “Clean Hands” Doctrine T. Leigh Anenson, J.D., LL.M, Ph.D.* This Article offers an analysis of the “clean hands” doctrine (unclean hands), a defense that traditionally bars the equitable relief otherwise available in litigation. The doctrine spans every conceivable controversy and effectively eliminates rights. A number of state and federal courts no longer restrict unclean hands to equitable remedies or preserve the substantive version of the defense. It has also been assimilated into statutory law. The defense is additionally reproducing and multiplying into more distinctive doctrines, thus magnifying its impact. Despite its approval in the courts, the equitable defense of unclean hands has been largely disregarded or simply disparaged since the last century. Prior research on unclean hands divided the defense into topical areas of the law. Consistent with this approach, the conclusion reached was that it lacked cohesion and shared properties. This study sees things differently. It offers a common language to help avoid compartmentalization along with a unified framework to provide a more precise way of understanding the defense. Advancing an overarching theory and structure of the defense should better clarify not only when the doctrine should be allowed, but also why it may be applied differently in different circumstances. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ................................................................................. 1829 I.

    April 2007 Se Habla Lawsuit? By Edward Blum Though an understanding of English is a requirement for U.S. citizenship, Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act mandates that “language assistance” be available to voters in districts with non-native speaker popula- tions that meet certain criteria. The enforcement of Section 203, however, costs taxpayers tens of thou- sands of dollars, and there is no evidence it helps non-native speakers vote. The experiences of Springfield, Massachusetts, illustrate these problems. “A City of Homes . A City for Business . Springfield, like hundreds of other towns and On the Issues A City Rich with History and Multi-cultural counties around the country, is subject to Section Diversity”—so reads the motto of Springfield, 203 of the Voting Rights Act because, among Massachusetts (pop. 150,000), halfway between many other complex criteria, more than 5 percent New York and Boston.
