The concept of critical understanding of Gramsci The concept of Gramsci's critical understanding is that everyone is a philosopher and that common sense of ordinary people is not critical, not consistent, and is discrete and coincidental is showing. Political education can turn this common sense into a critical understanding. Independent class individuals seek organic leadership in their own classes so that they can build the concept of conflicting life that will become popular and hegemonic.
Cultural research which occupies the center of Gramsci is the concept of hegemony. Hegemony is a political concept of Gramsci and it is designed to explain that Western capitalist democracy lacks a socialist revolution (taking into account the exploitative and repressive nature of capitalism) ing. Gramsci (2009) uses hegemonic concepts to refer not only to society but also to the dominant class that dominates the movement (which is in alliance with other classes or class molecules).

Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci developed the concept of cultural hegemony from the theory of Karl Marx that the mainstream ideology of society reflects the beliefs and interests of the ruling class. Gramsci believes that by disseminating social institutions such as schools, churches, courts and media, we will gain the consent of the dominant group by spreading ideology - beliefs, assumptions, values. The work of these institutions is to socialize people into norms, values, beliefs that govern the social group. Therefore, the group that controls these agencies controls the rest of society.
Following the important footsteps of Marx, Jim Rukachi of Hungary and Antonio Gramsci of Italy developed the theory of cultural and ideological aspects of power and control. Both Lukács and Gramsie focused their criticisms on social forces that people understand through the forms of power and control that exist in society and prevent them from affecting their lives. Immediately after the development and ideas of Lukács and Gramsci, the Institute of Social Science was founded at the University of Frankfurt, and the Frankfurt Critique Theory School was founded. This is a work related to the Frankfurt school including Max Hawk Haimer, Theodor Adorno, Erik Flam, Walter Benjamin, Jurgen Habermas and Herbert Marxé, and is considered to be the definition and core of critique theory.
