How is the authority figure in Human Traffic Represented?

The authority of Jips mother and her client are shown in very differemt views. One view is that Jips mother is a sterotypical mum, Caring ,Protective and enjoy`s having her son around. However her job makes her seem on a lower social class and makes us the viewer have a negative view on her because she is a prostitute. Just because she has a lower class job, she still has a higher authority figure because when Jip says "i am leaving now mum." His mother persuades him to stay. It is a completly different view for Jips mothers client, Jip has imagines the client in his car talking down to him, this is shown by a low angle from Jips point of view. The client is talking aggressive with no care for Jip and his feelings, with the man wearing formal clothing it makes him on a higher social class , this is a classic example of Cultural Hegemony. Cultural Hegemony is when a social class is dominated by another socila class - Bourgesis and proterterate.
