Manipulation by man and how to protect him

Manipulation is the most powerfulan instrument of influence on any individual, and on society as a whole, allowing people to govern and form public opinion, imposing any stereotypes, opinions and patterns. It is carried out with the help of the most mass method - the media. The information field created by them simply does not allow people to break out, because it can not be neutral by definition, invariably conveying the mood and opinion of the author.

Man's manipulation is carried out by means of several principles, which are widely known and used everywhere.

First of all, you need to know about the audience more,than she herself knows about herself. Extensive material for this is provided by science: in the last decades psychology, biology, neurobiology have accumulated so much information about human nature that manipulating the human mind does not present the slightest problem. It is necessary only to bypass critical attitude, reason and value judgment. An example of such manipulation is the use of sex and sexuality, even in advertising, attracting the attention of buyers to the product.

The authorities of any country often use another method,helping to manipulate public opinion: saturate the information field of the country with insignificant events and news, distracting people from what is really important. As a result, for example, society breaks spears over a trivial matter, and the most important for people's life innovation is carried out imperceptibly and is adopted in the form of law, without causing opposition. The same principle builds newsletters: a lot of stories about wars and misfortunes in other countries, and only a running line - news about important changes in legislation.

Man's manipulation is carried out and withhelp to create problems, and then podkidyvaniya ways to solve them. For example, it is possible to create a situation in which the population will react very negatively and will require urgent measures from the government. But it was precisely on this that the calculation was made. As a result, laws are adopted, the necessary authorities: security measures are strengthened, in fact, infringing upon the rights and freedoms of citizens.

Another popular method isgradual application and dosing of information so as not to cause panic. As a result, people do not suspect about the true scale of tragedies and misfortunes, and there are no revolutions.

Man's manipulation is also carried out with the help of a delay in execution: that is, to promise to perform unpopular measures not now, but in an indefinite future. And people really go for it.

The same is achieved with the help of addressing people as children: such infantilism in speech turns reduces the critical attitude and causes confidence in what has been said.

Equally important is the emphasis on emotions. It is important to avoid in every way that a person comes to his senses and thinks, gives reasons and arguments. At the hands of manipulators and ignorance of society: it is for this destruction of education, stuns society, destroyed or cast out thinking people.

All these and other methods of manipulationare used to some extent in any country and any society, and to be protected from them is possible only by using a critical approach, caution, inquisitive mind. And, of course, checking the information before trusting it.
