Hi, I am Kiwi Kawaii ^^ Television is one of the greatest forms of mass brainwashing ever thought up. Everything you watch attempts to sway your ideals to the slant of the production team, the directors and the writers, as well as the camera work. Be it a documentary, a sitcom, humorous or serious, the events televised to your eyes and into your mind are continuously trying to sway you to their prospective side.
If you wish to go “Broad Spectrum”, you can say that everything you hear or see is, in one form or another, brainwashing you in an attempt to coerce your thought patterns to comply with the way the “story” has been set forth by the author.
You, yourself, attempt brainwashing whenever you try to convince someone to side with your own opinions.
Brainwashing attempts rain down upon you on a daily basis. Your job is to read up on both sides of any issue and form your own opinion based on the amount of information you decide to read. Maybe then, the shackle will break.
