Why Do People Manipulate People Do Differently

Superior Essays
When it comes down to thoughts and ideas, everyone in the world thinks different even if the subject and all the other factors that help express the idea or belief are the same. The primary reason why people might think so different from each other must do mainly because everyone manipulates information given towards them differently. Some factors that alter the way that someone manipulates information are those such as culture, religion, age, and many others that a person is unconsciously thinking about when making any decision or interpretation. A quick example of what I just said, just to clarify any misunderstandings, can be found when a group of people is asked whether it’s okay to let people under 18 drive legally. The amount of information given is the same for everyone, but the end results are most likely to vary with older people saying that younger people should not be let to drive. …show more content…

The broad word that allows the reader to manipulate what the author is trying to say again in this sentence is the word “it” again. Additionally, the author as previously done already, narrows the things that the reader can manipulate the word “it” by saying that “it” has to be “lifting up” and also has to be “large as a giant”. Consequently, although the option of interpreting “it” with an alarm clock is no longer a valid option since an alarm clock doesn’t follow the rule of being large or lifting up, the other options of interpreting “it” are still valid. For example, considering that the nuclear bomb was the reason for the noise that sounded like a pressure cooker, once ignited a nuclear bomb creates a wave of debris that from close by looks large. In fact, many people know that a nuclear bomb destroys and lifts up anything that is on its path, so that means that a nuclear bomb is a valid option to replace the word “it” once again since it doesn’t break the rule of being large and lifting

    Manipulation In America

    When a person in authority uses their influence to get what they want, it’s manipulation. Americans fell under the influence of manipulation by going to war with Japan. Considering that leaders only have to “tell [the public] they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger” in order to make people go to war, it’s easy for authority to use their influence to manipulate the people (Goering). After the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, killing over a hundred thousand Japanese people, Americans considered these deaths a victory because those in authority declared that it was. Americans listen to those in authority because of fear, a fundamental part of human nature.…

    As Abraham Lincoln states “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power”. This demonstrates that having control is truly the common goal of all people in high political positions, and one’s true personality is revealed once power and control is in reach. Individuals of political teams are separated by their reason for their power hunger, but are united by their common goal of control, which is achieved through manipulation of the vulnerable members of society – the public. This is reflected in Levinson’s 1997 satirical film ‘Wag the Dog’ which highlighted the corruption of politics, and political teams, encouraging the audience to become more critical consumers. Creedance Clearwater Revival’s…

    All of live in a society where it is impossible to be blasted with opinions wherever we are, and one could say it is near impossible to develop your own logical opinion because it is influenced by everything around you and not developed through reasoning and thought. This is where mob mentality comes in. Mob mentality is created when members of a group latch onto the ideas and beliefs of other members until you create a hive mind. These people follow blindly what everyone else thinks and when deciding for themselves about something they think about what their peers would think of the person's decision. Hive minds are not horrible things, but without different opinions we cannot move forward as a society in a balanced way.…

    Psychological manipulation is a topic that both novels target to accentuate the lack of identity, but where Atwood investigates a type of conditioning after birth, the general concept in Brave New World is that from birth, all the characters in the novel are cloned to implement the structure that the World State is trying to enforce. Robert Brown explores this idea by saying that the “Machines are used to condition human embryos and ensure that the irrational and unpredictable aspects of human nature are removed” . This means that the cloning and conditioning that occurs in both novels, eliminates any sort of identity the characters previously had in The Handmaid’s Tale and any chance the characters in Brave New World would have to obtain individuality.…

    We all want to get our needs met, but manipulators use underhanded methods. Manipulation is a way to covertly influence someone with indirect, deceptive, or abusive tactics. Manipulation may seem benign or even friendly or flattering, as if the person has your highest concern in mind, but in reality it's to achieve an ulterior motive. Other times, it's veiled hostility, and when abusive methods are used, the objective is merely power. You may not realize that you're being unconsciously intimidated.…
