Senior year of college (about 6 years ago) I took a media literacy class. I was the only one in the class that understood what socialization and hegemony were. It was really concerning to see actual adults struggle to understand and consider who or what was providing the information.

I don't honestly see how it's related here The way it was taught in class was that basically it's socialization by the media to get you to see things their way. Boys play with GI Joes because that's who they show playing with them. Kids want the box of Cheezits with Sponge Bob on them and can't explain why. They don't know that it tastes the same, costs the same. People aren't wired to want to spend money but kids know about it right away from consuming content.
