Explain the connection between Marx’s materialist conception of history and his theory of ideology as found in The German Ideology. That is, what connection does Marx see between the way people produce their material lives (the mode of production) and the ideas people produce? Find an example from current popular culture (TV, newspapers, magazines, films, books, etc.) that you think illustrates this connection and explain how it might support Marx’s thesis as well as any ways it might fail to fit those views. Do you think Marx’s theory of ideology still works today? Explain
