Total Control

After
reading the article They Say By: Douglas Roshkoff, I must say I don’t
always agree what “they say” for example marijuana leading into LCD. I think
that matters on how much control you have over your mind and body, being able
to stop the urge to do things, some people on the other hand I feel is that
they lake the mind over situation theory. I’m personally only make decisions on
what I want or think is best, at least as much as I can control without my
subconscious kicking in
Now
I do believe the conspiracy on changing the lighting or colors of a store, for
example Wal-Mart, to make us shop more and buy things we did not intentionally
go in to buy. They always have signs saying rollback deals to lure you in, but
once you’re inside your mind subconsciously feeds and goes on a buying spree
when introduced to the bright lights and color scheme.
With
the Internet anyone who wants to have any say on any possible thing you can
think of, is now possible. The information that use to be not easy obtained is
now accessible with a few simple clicks. It can either be a really bad thing or
really good. Personally I think it’s a bad thing. First off why is there a need
to know every possible thing? Its impossible to retain it all anyway. Plus
people can access your information whenever they want, if they know what their
doing. Its practically impossible to stay private off web, unless you have
never made an email, or had a bank card, or even made a small loan through your
bank, because your not the only one who puts all your info on the computer
companies would wide now also do so.
I
enjoyed the article there were many good points and debatable topics all
throughout the article. Even if you think you are in total control, its not ever
that simple. The way he manipulates you to read this article, and talks about
how media manipulates you is genius I was astonished after finishing this
reading.
