Procedure of Mass Manipulation
Examples (Media, History and Religion)
References to the novel
Every kind of mass manipulation has a delivery system: one layer, one lie, leads to another and another
There are various methods to brainwash people: - excessive repetition of routine activities - deprivation - intense trauma (sexual abuse, electroshock, the torture or murder of
others) - mind control (to dominate almost every aspect of life)
increasing control over individuals + stability shaping of a person's attitudes, beliefs, and personality without
the person's knowledge or consent.
Brainwashing, also known as thought reform or re-education, is the application of persuasive
techniques to change the beliefs or behavior of one or more people usually for political or religious purposes
We live in a world where the media has great influence on people
- advertisement (financial profit) - news (political profit) media often perverts reality we forget about who we really are by trying to
copy personalities presented in the media if one tries to be individual it often ends with
exclusion by the society
