==Key terms in ideological criticism==
''Television'' and Mimi White's chapter in ''Channels of Discourse'' both present key terms and concepts involved in the study of ideology--including the term "ideology" itself. '''Blending these definitions together, devise a definition for the following specific terms.'''

===Group 2 ===
#"Social classes", specifically:
#*"Aristocracy"
#*"Bourgeoisie" (pronounced "boor-jhwah-zee")
#*"Proletariat"
#"Ruling class"
#*What is the ''current'' ruling class in the U.S?

===Group 3===
#"Means of production"
#"Dominant ideology"
#*What are some examples of values/ideas belonging to the dominant ideology today, in the U.S?

===Group 4===
#"Base" -- also known as "infrastructure"
#"Superstructure"

How does one relate to the other?

===Group 1===
#"Hegemony" (pronounced "heh-GEM-own-ee")

Cite an example of hegemony in action in contemporary U.S. culture.

===All groups===
#Define "ideology," according to Marx; ''and'' according to more current theorists. What are the main ways in which current theories differ from Marx's original theory?
#Define "discourse," according to John Fiske. In particular, how is a discourse a "coherent ''set'' of meanings"? How can discourse be seen in action in ''Roseanne''?
#Define "social formation," according to Louis Althusser (pronounced "loo-ee alt-hoo-ser"). In "relative autonomy".
##Economic
##Political
##Ideological
