Just a Thought

A great majority of society has entirely given itself to be influenced by the media. Evidence provides that the media is controlled by the government, which is controlled by the people, whom are in turn, controlled by the media. The evidence - members of government are elected by the people; the government, or government controlled issues, provides the media with news; this news is then relayed to the people.

Not only do the media provide the people with news. Just as a toddler satisfies himself with a shiny new toy car after "mommy says no," the populace of America concedes to the promotion of the iPhone and cost-efficient automobile when the media proceeds to make a statement, forcing the thought of self-reliance in the public to back of their thoughts.

Human instinct confers it a natural sympathy. Likewise in nature, insecurity breeds its own sense of self-hatred upon the "well-off." For example, the Republican Party feeds off of the notion that self-determination reaps exactly what it sows for its users. Adversely, the Democratic Party contends to a Peter Pan method of economic stability, alleging to the poor that they deserve rewards, regardless of work ethic. The media feed on the strength of the two natures of insecurity, or blame, and sympathy. This leads hatred more towards self-determination, and insecurity (blame) more toward helping hand. In the same way, education, in school or out, proves to follow more of a self-determination path than what the media provides, which is the helping hand mechanism.

As society further delves into a sense of satisfaction and complies with being fostered by conformist ideals, its character and standards likewise fall.
