Discourse as Opposition to Language Manipulation of the Mass Media

Abstract

Information war as a part of hybrid wars, armed conflicts, global terrorism, confusion about the election process, discussions of social news in the networks, between colleagues, between neighbours, family conflicts, etc. are the realities of being in the world. Diversified social and cultural development of philosophical paradigms leads to otherness of individuals and societies, and as a result to misunderstandings and conflicts between them. A significant negative contribution to this state of a society is made by a language manipulation of public opinion of the media. The real way out is a dialogue between the subjects of communication. The article deals with the importance of discourse as opposition to language manipulation of the mass media and focuses on the meaning of language manipulation of the media when a conflict occurs. Discourse and philosophical-religious dialogue is defined as the highest form of communicative action, which aims to restore mutual understanding in a society raised in the communication process. The necessity of dialogue and discourse on the high cultural, ethnic, legal levels for consensus searching in relations in the international, public, domestic, family and interpersonal communication.
