RE: Manipulation of people.

in #psychology8 years ago

transformation of society as a mindless mass.

Now without even reading the above post the first thing that comes across my mind is the Tavistock Method. This method capitalizes upon a person's desire to fit it, often with the implied thread of social censorship as the primary impetus of the group applying this method. So now I will read the above post to see if this is mentioned.

OK it was not mentioned but I want to refer you to a book called, " The 48 Laws of Power ". This book deals with the ever so clever methods of manipulation and power transfers employed by notable people in various historical settings. The methods employed by the principal characters in this book run the gamut from the basic sexual enticement for favor to implied mentions of duress and reward. Ron

I was at a work conference earlier this week and our VP showed a clip from an entertainer whose work we will be promoting in the new year. (I work in publicity.) Everyone was laughing at the most painfully awkward of jokes and skits and as I looked around the room, I could see how many began laughing only after our senior team members led the laughter with loud guffaws. I felt a little sick at this obvious display of sheeple behaviour.@getonthebus, I read The 48 Laws of Power and found it both enlightening...and frightening. The ways in which we are manipulated can be so subtle as to fool us completely.
