Hegemony and Culture

According to Gramsci, Hegemony means dominants group in a society. which is, the dominant group rule the minority group in a society. in some cases, you don't have to be wealthy in order to dominate a society. Farmer's are dominants in some countries. they dominate their societies, by using their power in producing food for the society. in my country, there are some villages who do not need money in other for them to live. all they need is food and they will be fine. they farm for their food and sell their some of it after cultivation. these farmers have the right not to sell their food to the wealthy people who can't farm for food. in this case their power is overthrown by the Farmer's because it is the farmer's choice to sell or not to sell his food to the other person who can not farm.

In my native land Nigeria(west Africa), there are over three hundred ethnic group who share common language and cultural values. when it come to ruling the country, which is whom to be elected for president, there is always a disagreement. out of all these ethnic groups, only three groups are the majorities(Hausa, Ibo's and the Yoruba's). they are the majorities because their belief is that they have the voice for politics and the others do not have a political voice. money and power are also used in this case.

The lower class accept the situation by choice because if they want change they will fight for change. although the rich people will not like the ideal for change because they might have the fear of loosing to the lower class, the lower class will not stop fighting for change until it is done.
