One of the essential conditions of personal identity is the ability to make informed choices. The statement seems slightly empty of meaning, but it's not One of the dirty headquarters of the present civilization is to prepare ordinary people for handling. All educational system is not intended acquisition of knowledge, but aims to build a person easily manipulated. The media also has its Wheals, modeling the individual dependent continuum of different products and services. And I mean not only advertising itself, but also an attitude, be it political or civic. Handling strength is based on a very simple principle "dubito, cogito". That being a Doubting Thomas and as always ask yourself "Why". Why does a healthy system and able to work? Because it costs a sick society, not because they have respect for human health. To be immune to manipulation means your form and have a solid value system in which to relate, personal system based on personal conclusions, not ready digested by the media and then regurgitate. Handling resistance comes from permanent confrontation with the personal needs that offer a display outdoors. Choose only what fits, not what is fashionable or shine. Attitude of a man of strong personality and she will be strong, but mostly fair. Do not vote for a party only for some future promise, but for the past assumed. Do not wash with a detergent that is advertised on all the fences, but because I've tried is good. So that would be concluded and, if we managed to light a lamp in your mind, is that my little manipulation was successful.

We are from birth programed to serve the system. But every now and then you do get those that go against the grain. Unfortunately for the masses, survival becomes the necessity. But those who go against the grain wind up on top some how. I do not believe in the structure of society. I have always believed there was a better way. Wether or not we become successful, we must live how we choose to live. And that my friend, is free.

..."always ask why" - I love that! It's very true! Hopefully many people have just such a philosophy! It was funny how you ended your post acknowledging that your post was also meant to 'manipulate'.. but! I have to say in a good way. If education teaches students how to think, rather than what to think, they have done a good service, when they seek to teach what to think, that is a dis-service!! Even if they think their ideas, philosophy, etc, is so very right.. Ultimately, they may not be so right after all!

It is true that society,and especially those who are in power in certain moments,try to make us fit in a certain pattern,to wash our brains and make us act and think just like they want us to do,and I guess in most cases they succeed because most people are easily influenced and some of them find it more comfortable to do and behave as dictated by others instead of forming their own system of values,that might have some things in common with the norms imposed by those who lead us,but definitely shouldn't be identical.People with strong personalities should have the strength to say 'no' in some cases and make their voice heard;it is much harder and riskier than accepting a dull life full of obedience,but these people who assume such risk and do not let themselves be easily manipulated are those which can make some changes in society and prevent those who hold the reins from accumulating too much power.Resistance to manipulation is very important today and those who have the courage to protest and take action against all sorts of manipulation deserve my respect.

In todays time we do what we see, we don't think that what is right or whati swrong. but if one person is doing and we think that this is good we start doing. Now a daz meadia is the place which show a different type of world, whatevr we see on media we take it as a grant, that this thing is right as it is being shown on the media. but on media we see what we intented to see. so not all the thing which is shown onmedia is good, it dependes on the quality of product, so the quality of product can't measure by the media. it has to me messure by use.
