Manipulation: The Key Success of the World’s Quasi Lords
Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
It is very challenging to recognize manipulation as such; however, once humanoids become aware of it, they realize that they were subjected to manipulation. Sadly, the degree of manipulation is skyrocketing to the point that someone could argue that almost all activities are more or less manipulated. Individuals, families, nations, states – almost all are impacted by manipulation of world’s quasi lords who are driven by their own personal interests and are willing and ready to break all rules of humanity and decency for the benefits of their own personal interests and agendas. The primary aim of this paper is to demonstrate that there is a need to fight manipulation, particulary manipulation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the whole world. In order to do that, this paper elaborates on the most important charateristics of manipulation. An emphasis is paid to the types, methods and strategies of manipulation so to understand the implications of manipulation. Lastly, this paper proposes measures such as immunization in order to reduce humanoid proclivity to be manipulated.
