There is an active power that goes unnoticed by most people in our society. For the few that actually pay heed, most of them have heard so many stories that they have become desensitized to them and no longer retort as they should. The power I'm referring to here doesn't have a name, doesn't have a specific face, nor is it in a precise location. It is a power of an elite group of people, generally money-hungry and always self-interested. The strategies they use are cunningly sly, to the point that we barely take notice of the "toxins" they feed us or, even worse, protect the "poisoned wells!"
The educational system and mainstream media have become the most deliberate means with which to skilfully employ the tools of propaganda. Children who are naturally active and innately curious are told to sit still for eight hours a day, listening to the purposefully selected information society would like them to learn. Rather than delving into their own inquisitiveness, exploring their inherent interests, are physically exploring their world, they begin their upbringing in a limited environment and are forced to adhere to certain rules of behaviour. As these children grow, they are taught to pursue the things their society values most: money, social status, intellect and independence.
