Abstract

   There are few sociological studies on the perceptions of educated elites about the fields of open and undeclared cultural production in the city of Beni Suef. Then emerged the hypothesis of research "reveal the perceptions of the intellectual elite in the fields of cultural production exposed and undiscovered the tricks of elite non-democratic force, and Guided towards the management of a new era of social development." The study used a sample of 571 items, and the questionnaire as a main tool. The results highlighted three types of perceptions in the fields of cultural production: Soft, non-radical perceptions emerged from open areas because they were linked to government work, traditional solidarity, and supply and demand laws, which are embodied in the style of the propagandist and private interests. On the other hand, the results revealed a social hierarchy, a moderate radicalism embodied in a radical intellectual free from material needs, and a discussion of power-efficient methods. The second mode - the fields of undeclared cultural production - reveals mandatory, less radical perceptions in politics and language, and perceptions dictated by necessity in the areas of gender and development. The statistical analysis of education and age came out in the third most radical type, which strongly predicts the guidance and education of the elite of organized social responsibility so that the intellectuals come out of frustration, and the concept of traditional power elite changes. These findings are consistent with Mills's view that the function of perceptions is to direct ideas toward social development rather than to apply them as long as they are far from violence and force: radicalism.
