Our values are greatly influenced by the media for the benefit of the establishment. By the establishment I mean the corporations, the military, many religious leaders, and the bankers. They have tremendous influence on the social system in order to serve their own narrow self-interests. What we have all over the world is managed news by and for the establishment. They also influence books, newspapers, TV shows, movies, entertainment, and education. This in turn shapes much of our behavior and values. They perpetuate the illusion that society’s values come from the ground up by using such meaningless words as Freedom, Patriotism, and Democracy. I think it was Einstein who said Patriotism was a disease. In other words, we have an established society that works for the benefit of a few. They influence values and behavior in order to keep things as they are for their own advantage. They also perpetuate the myth that people have a set nature that keeps us warring, greedy, jealous, and deceitful. This is used to account for human behavior rather than examining the environmental conditions that generate these behaviors. In other words we have an established society that works for the benefit of a few. They influence our values and behavior in order to keep things as they are for their benefit. youtube/watch?v=p5XbOvaceRA
