I look around and see people no longer have goals.
We are perfect consumers. And I can't help thinking that over time, we have been "gently" pushed in this direction.
No more goals, no ideas, ideology, morals or principles. Just having the latest iWhatever, fast car and sleep with plenty of women. Like a new special breed of zombies.
In the past people fought and gave their life for freedom. And now I think we are less free then before. It's just that we are persuaded otherwise. Like in ancient Rome - bread and circus.

I think we are being brainwashed every day through social media, news, advertising and whatever we watch on TV. They want us to believe that in what they want us to believe. However, each one of us is capable of critical thinking and we always have a choice on what we choose to see and believe. We can only be brainwashed if we allow them to do it. I’d rather read books or watch something that could expand my knowledge in general and not a single second spent on Hollywood news.

Subconsciously whether you'd like to admit it or not, we are all in some way, some form all brainwashed.

It all comes down as to how strong minded you really are.

Yes we are all brainwashed, but what is good now more and more people understand it. Less fellows watch TV and almost no one believes in promisses of polititians.

YES!!!
The best thing to do is to not bother with it, and just think,  what do you want to do, and do it.
Seripously. So many people gone nuts, thinking about this crap

I used to always think that I think sensibly. But after studying a little advertising, I realized how much people are suggestible. And this is used by all - politicians, sellers, religion.

In my mind,the real remaining question is 'how?though is not likely a simple answe.

Brainwashing is done daily by TV, the internet, politicians, etc. They say how to live so that it is consistent with the imposed way of thinking.

If you want to experience life, go ahead on a vacation on a real remote island, or best live there for months. By then you'll understand life and understand that it's the society that drives people's ambition. It's like the society is dictating people's lives which can be observed well in today's life.
Hope you'll do what I advised and hope you enjoy life. Smiley Wink Wink

Many people are like that nowadays. They are very dependent to others. No directions inlife and no sense of responsiility. Its like living like a grasshopper, dont know what will happen to them tomorrow.

Brainwashed may be is an exageration. But non decision can be good if it's based on bad information.
So, who manipulates the media has real power.

i dont think people now do not really have goals, i think they are just more careless. They being caught up by modern world where everyone are getting lazy, being influenced by environment, social media influences but still i believe there are still people who have goals and have good principles in life.
