Hegemony a system of domination where subjects comply seemingly voluntarily, rather than being forced. The same action can be perceived very differently depending on who the actor and observer are. Prejudice negative attitudes toward people based on stereotypes about their category rather than actual knowledge about them. Discrimination treating people unequally due to prejudice.
