W. E. B. Du Bois, Stuart Hall, and Edward Said W. E. B. Du Bois took a great interest in the study of culture and its effect on the individual. Du Bois linked one’s view of self in accordance with the outlook of the majority because of the strong ideologies that come forth from the majority (dominant class) and influence everyone and everything. Culture has a lot of shared meanings, and through this people interpret and develop the world around them. This world is based off of the view from the
people, etc”, in other words it is a system that is often used by the dominant group, used to spread their ideologies and maintain its control over another less dominant/powerful group. In the article “Gramsci’s Political Thought” by Roger Simon and Stuart Hall, the authors

In “The West and the Rest,” Hall conveys the concept that a person in power can use said power in order to convince audiences of their own ideology further known as the “Regime of Truth”.

Using Halls definition of the “Regime of Truth,” I will analyze

The girl’s conservative mother “has seen to” (10) having her daughter seek for an expert help. Ungraceful, conflicted inwardly, and beset outwardly by parental pressure, the girl now waits to see a counselor. No character speaks, but the role

It was often on the ground floor but sometimes it was raised to the second floor for extra security. “The great hall was a large one-room structure with a lofty ceiling”(Giess 58). This was where all the people of the castles slept (excluding the lord and the Lady). There was of course a great big curtain put up so the ladies would be separate from the men. It wasn’t until the end of the century when separate rooms were invented. The great hall was usually located in
Castle The only sound echoing through the dark stone halls was that of the ancient grandfather clock that rested at the end of the corridor. The noise bouncing off the stones through the grand arches of the once grand hall. Time had both been kind and hard to the castle. The castle had withstood centuries, millenniums of historical eras. It had been once overflowing with the sweet melodies of orchestras as thousands gathered glittering in its hall to celebrate glorious times that had passed by.

Rob continued to threaten him; eventually they were alone in the hall. He snatched Samuel’s hand and with a flick of his wrist twisted him around until his face made a sickening thwack against the cool dull metal of the locker. Samuel was just a boy in high school.
