Journal 17
For the past five weeks, we’ve studied how language perpetuates ideology and hegemony throughout the world via mass communication. Specifically, we’ve looked at how language is used to construct norms in relationship to gender, and now race. Let’s transition the conversation now to look at how language is used to resist, deny, or reconstruct the status quo. For this journal, offer examples that are either modern or historical, in which language has been used to challenge ideological norms.
Journal #17:
Now in more modern times, our generation has started to break free of institutionalized norms that the society has impeded in us. Even now our parents are recognizing the paradigm shift of homosexuality. My parents have stated homosexuals were not as expressed as they are now in days. Our generation has been more open, respectful and out spoken for the problem in the lgbt community. Not only in lgbt problems but also in other problems in the government, environment and society. Most of the resistance is discussed in social media, such as Twitter. Twitter has especially been involved in politics since the election of Donald Trump as president.
