Overview Hegemonic ideas are prevalent in many areas of life, including the work

Overview
Hegemonic ideas are prevalent in many areas of life, including the workplace. (As you may recall, hegemony is the dominant voice in culture.) In this reflective activity, you will consider a movement for positive change in a fictional workplace. You will then identify a creative work that illustrates a perspective that disagrees with the dominant voice of the movement you chose.
This assignment will help you practice describing how different perspectives may analyze a creative work. You will follow a similar process for your project.
Directions
For this journal reflection, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Describe a movement for positive change in a fictional workplace. Choose a fictional workplace from a book, film, television show, or so forth.
What is the dominant (insider) voice of the movement?
Describe a creative work that illustrates a counter (outsider) perspective, a perspective that disagrees with the dominant voice of the movement.
What are the specific elements in the creative work?
What message(s) do the elements send?
Explain how being an insider in a culture affects how works are interpreted.
Explain how being an outsider in a culture affects how works are interpreted.
What to Submit
Submit your journal reflection as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. If sources are used, follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources both throughout and at the end of your paper. While you will not be graded on the quality of your citations in this assignment, you may receive guidance from your instructor on how to properly cite sources.
