Has language become our enemy? Quote from the book: Mastering Guerrilla Marketing If you've got the right attitude about marketing, you're nearly fixated on providing your customers with precisely what they need. One of the things they do need, as do all members of humanity is a sense of identity. jeff's comment: It is interesting to look at billboards and advertisements and see what they are selling. Often it isn't a product that is being described. They are trying to give us a good image and associate a product at the same time. This is basic propaganda and look how it is described in the quote above. Have we unleashed propaganda on ourselves? Another new book titled: "If it bleeds, It Leads" is about television news and is written by an insider. Here again were are faced with a new form of propaganda. The goal of news is to hold ones attention and not provide news. In fact, there is very little real news on news broadcasts. The range of topics is very narrow although it appears a lots of topics are being covered. This manipulation of news topics is deliberate and distorts a cultures view of the world. jeff
