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



Ideology is the construction of common sense. Hegemony maintains ideology. Ideology is displayed in this game by the supposed construction of common sense of where men should stand in when they are using the bathroom may it be on the end to provide the person with the "maximum amount of buffer zone" or simply leave then come back. This construction of the "buffer zone" is maintained because every time that the person gets an answer wrong it indicates whether or not it provides the maximum buffer zone. After repeating similar questions it makes the person as though well that is common sense of where the person should stand in order to avoid contact with others. This game also provides this ideology by the comments within the correct answers just as make sure to always look forward.
