Manipulation In Wag The Man

Decent Essays
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.

    Abraham Lincoln famously remarked that “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” The power belongs to those who want to get the top position in organizations with personal qualities, such as leadership, humility, ambition, etc. In this book, Jeffrey Pfeffer examines how to get the power from the individuals’ perspective to make and implement decisions by considering various situations. Also, he describes that power is a positive mechanism in managing the organizations effectively since he has also viewed it as obtained common profits or gains through collectively working together. Such opinion of him about power is diametrically opposed to our common norm that power connotes a conservative…

    In the satirical film Blazing Saddles directed by Mel Brooks in 1974 his main objective was to poke fun at the genre of western films.

Mel Brooks uses effective satirical techniques to provide an in depth critique of political and racial stereotypes throughout his film.…

    With injustice and cruelty running rampant in the world, it is unsurprising that people become determined to make things better for tomorrow. Those aware of the moral greyness of their actions often quote the cliché saying that the ends justify the means.

In the long run, they cause more conflict since they no longer force themselves to hold their principles to same standards as they hold others. This is the downfall of leaders in many works of literature, including Harrison Bergeron and The Lord of the Flies.…

    “Power does not make the possessor evil; it is the possessor who uses it in evil ways” (Wilson). Since the beginning of time, power is a force that has been desired and strived for, yet feared by many. Although it often leads to harm, power itself is not destructive; “Like money, power is indifferent in its usefulness to the person who possesses it” (Wilson). In George Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and William Shakespeare 's, Macbeth, the desire to gain power and the fear of losing it, results in not only corruption but a malicious use of psychological manipulation and the demise of many.…
