I have rarely met people who think for themselves. So many people are influenced in a major way in how they think and feel by the media, government, religion, and many other sources.

Impossible as people are all raised by someone. But good parents will give their kids lost of exposure and teach them how to think.

I have yet to meet a teen anywhere who did not think indepentantly of his parents during the teen years (even if he was being stupid)


Go to the mall and you will see 1000 brain-dead "Individualists" looking exactly like each other. LOL.

This is part of an interview with steven jacobson explaining how we are all manipulated and controlled particulary by the television,and that your thoughts may not be your own,but are programmed into you from birth,if you are new or not to this type of information you will learn alot from this amazing 8min clip




They dont call it the" Great Wasteland " For nothing

Indeed, there is so much more to do with our time and our life than watching others live fake lives.

If you read what I said "think indepentantly of his parents" they people who tried to shape his/her thoughts. Of course teens have a peer group and try to fit in. BUt today even there we find many peer groups. Preppies, skaters, grunge, goth etc. so you do not see thousands the same - that would be the 1960's.

That does not negate my original point - that teens think independantly of THEIR PARENTS and they do not all dress and act the same - they have their groups...preppies, jocks, skaters, nerds, even hippie throw backs.....

Last night, I was at a Holiday party. Among the guests were "Black and White" Americans from various backgrounds, Dominicans, Puerto-Ricans, Trinidadians, Haitians, Bajans. A sprinkle of Jews, Middle easterns, Asians, Russians etc...

We all got along and some of us are very good friends. So, I asked myself, where are all the nationalists and racists? Are they hiding behind fake smiles or just for convenient moments overlook our differrences?

The biggest brainwash that we've been subjected to are that of Race ,Nationality and Religion. Instead of taking those things as sources of pride and culture and share with our fellow brothers and sisters, we have used them to humiliate, subjugate and enslave each other.

Berger and Luckmann had some contribution to make in the book and papers ´The Social Construction of Reality´

Encouraging diversity and designing institution such that they are socially responsible is a way forward: e.g. responsible advertising and news media not controlled by moguls ......

These men have conned people into hating the planet and destroying it - vast tracts of land cluttered with outsize mcmansions and the countryside has receeded areas only reached by hurtliing along conrete runways and roads. Then people have been programmed only to be avid consumers of articles of commerce and not enjoy the many free things available.
