5. Discuss the following Flash game in terms of ideology and hegemony...

In terms of ideology, which is defined as the study of ideas or common sense, this Flash game offers players to test their skills in "common sense" male bathroom etiquette. Perhaps for women, their preferences are different, but I did score better than I anticipated. Not 100% but scored rather well for a woman pretending to think as a man. This Flash game assumes to declare the official correct ("common sense") choices for men when it comes to deciding on which urinal to take when there are other men present using a urinal as well (and in different "challenging" scenarios based on the location). The reasons/answers the game provides after each click (whether correct or wrong) function under hegemony, which is defined as the establishment of general agreement/common sense. The way in which the reasons/answers for each scenario are worded function under hegemony because the player can understand or generally agree with what is said. Ideology is pushed by hegemony and is therefore part of hegemony. The hegemonic view consists of acceptance of the power system (dominant) or people in authority which in this case are the views/opinions of the creators of the urinal Flash game. These views are ratified by common sense. The player can accept or rebel these views but either way, the player is reacting to and sustained by hegemony.
