Cultural Hegemon

This week, we have been reading stories that explore issues of cultural hegemony. But what is cultural hegemony, and do we actually see it in everyday life? Before completing this DB, be sure to read the three Native American stories, including “The Native American Dream” on p. 1079 of class text.
Review the Power & Culture Powerpoint.
Read the article “Native American Writing/Power of Voices” and the article “Schitt’s Creek.”
These files are in Course Content, Week Two.
Discussion Board # 3:
In 4 well-developed, double-spaced and indented paragraphs, define and explain cultural hegemony. Be sure to proof read for run-on sentences, sentence fragments, capitalization, verb errors and punctuation. The purpose of this formal writing assignment is to show me you have read the stories and the articles carefully. The more specific details and examples you use, the better.
Begin with a sentence that defines Cultural Hegemony in your own words.Back this up with specific examples you may have noticed, observed or heard about in social media. Now, discuss the article “Native American Writing/The Power of Voices.” What is the thesis/argument of this article? Do you agree? How does this article fight back against cultural hegemony? Be specicic.
In the next two paragraphs, show how Cultural Hegemony is shown or discussed in TWO of the assigned Native American stories ( choose from “School Days,” “Cogewea” and “Native American Dream.”) Give at least 3 specific examples from each story. Be very specific; use actual incidents. Relate your examples back to something in the article.
QUOTES: use at least 4 direct quotes from stories and article. Use correct MLA parenthetical format for quotes. See MLA handout in Course Content. No Works Cited page is required for DB’s. .
In your final paragraph, briefly discuss an example of cultural hegemony in real life. You may write about a situation you have observed, read about, heard about, viewed on social media, or experienced. It can also be a situation experienced by a friend, acquaintance or relative. If you have absolutely no experience, you will need to do some research. Don’t just make broad, general statements. Be sure to tie your real life experience back to the definition and the examples from the stories.

Here is an Overview of what is due January 30 :
1. In our text “Everyone’s An Author”, read pp. 28-49 and pp. 1079-1084: “The (Native American) Dream” by Tate Walker.
2. In “Digitized Stories” handout, read “School Days of an Indian Girl” by Zitkala-Sa and “Cogewea, or The Half-Blood” by Mourning Dove. NOTE: this. is a link to entire novel; you need to read only Chapter VII, pp. 59-68, “The Ladies and Squaw Races”.
Think about the themes and the figurative language as you read. Please Note: Reading each story one time is not enough. You should read the story once to get a general idea. then go back and read it it again, underlining examples of figurative language, and noting class themes and information for study questions. In order to participate in the Discussion Boards and write your papers, you will need to do close readings of the stories.
5. Read through the Native American Study Questions for the first two stories. so you will know what to look for in the stories. These are optional and do not have to be handed in.
6. Now review the handout “ENGL 1302 Class Themes.” You may want to print this out also. Think about these themes as you read the stories. How do they connect to Native American history? You should use the Class Themes when you write your papers or Discussion Board (DB) posts. Now review the “Power and Culture” Powerpoint. Take notes. You may use any of this information in your papers or DB’s.
3. Review the Power & Culture Powerpoint.
4. Read the article “Native American Writing/Power of Voices” and the article “Schitt’s Creek.” Use examples from these articles when you respond to Discussion Boards # 3 and # 4.

computer- Victorian Mansion Activity

Background:
The town recluse has invited you to dinner at his lavish century-old Victorian mansion outside of town; the dress is formal. When you arrive, you greet and are greeted by the other guests and house staff. After socializing, dinner begins in the dining room underneath the sparkling crystal chandelier with dishes that dazzle every sense. Eventually all the guests, including you, retire to the beautifully appointed and elegant drawing room. You lean back in a comfortable chair to enjoy after dinner refreshments and even better conversation and games. Eventually, despite your best efforts, you fall asleep from all the good food and refreshment.
When you wake, you are seated in total darkness and briefly disoriented. Suddenly, a mellifluous voice announces that there is a new game in which you have the chance to win $100,000 simply by finding the bag of cash behind a certain door in the room. Once you have found the money, then you must find the door to the mansion’s corridor.
However, it’s not as easy as it sounds. You are told there are four doors in the round room in each of the cardinal directions (East, West, North, South). Your chair is in the center of the room, but you do not know which direction you are facing. Each door holds one of the following special surprises behind it:
Door 1 leads to the corridor
Door 2 leads to a 40 foot drop to a cave floor underneath the mansion and death
Door 3 leads to the bag of cash
Door 4 leads to a vicious dog that would love to eat you.
You obviously have only one chance to pick the correct door with the money and then exit the room through the correct door to the corridor.
Additional information:
Once you stand, your chair will sink into the floor so you must remember how many steps you took from it to the wall and/or door because you must remember this to get back to your starting point.
You have no form of communication with the outside world (i.e. no cell phone, etc.).
The room is totally silent (i.e. no outside noises or noises from within the room).
When you pick a door, you must step through into a small vestibule and shut the door to see if you have chosen well. One of the following will happen:
The floor will open, and you will drop 40 feet to the cave floor
A viscous dog will be released through a hidden panel
A panel directly in front of you will open with a bag of cash for you to grab
A door will open to the corridor and your escape
If you find door to the cash,
when you lift the bag, hundreds of razor sharp spikes will protrude from the walls of the main room so you can’t feel your way to follow the wall to any other door.
exit the vestibule and, remembering your steps, turn around and proceed back to the center of the room.
From this starting point, you will have to turn 90 degrees in either of two directions to exit the room through either the door to the corridor and success or the door to the 40 foot drop to the cave floor and death. Notice that you no longer will have the dog to worry about!
There is no light whatsoever in the room – total darkness.
Questions to Analyze:
What algorithm would you create to find a door and what may be behind it?
If you find the cash, what steps will you take to find the correct door out of the room and avoid the deadly spikes?
Of all the information given to you, what is most important to take into consideration?
How will you sense your surroundings?
