Abstract
The paper refers to Jib Fowles' work "15 Basic Appeals of Advertising" that shows how advertisements are making emotional appeals to their audience, are becoming increasingly abhorrent and are based on an manipulative use of audience appeal. The paper also looks at the ideas of Allan Bloom who implies that pop culture is manipulating and destroying the inspiration, the passion, and the artistic drive of today's youth. The paper explains Bloom's belief that pop culture has arisen from our culture of salesmanship by its appeal to the irrational and subconscious instincts of youth.

From the Paper
"Society has given rise to a culture of manipulation. The messages that cultural movements or cultural languages such as advertising give rise to is, to put it bluntly, a veritable brainwashing of American society for the sake of profit, with a particular emphasis on American youth. The manipulation is rooted in a systemized attempt to capture the minds or imagination of America, in order to influence them to ascribe to certain values which are not based on morality, but on sales and product appeal."

From the Paper
"Since the 1960s cults of one kind or another have regularly made headlines with outrageous, bizarre, and even lethal behavior and their number has increased enormously in the past four decades. Writers of all kinds--scholars, journalists, psychologists, and social critics--have frequently pointed out that cults have existed throughout recorded history and that the distinction between an established religion and a cult is often no more than a question of size, socialization, wealth, power, or longevity. But others hold that the sheer number of contemporary cults and the increasing levels of abuse, crime and suicide among many of them are phenomena that distinguish postindustrial society's cult behaviors from those of other eras. While it is difficult to cite any one or two principal causes of the expansion of the cult phenomenon in the present day, there are ..."

Abstract
The paper argues that society's feeble minds are continuously being contaminated by popular media that is skewing our entire basis for human interaction and relationships. The paper looks at Chuck Palahniuk's film "Choke", and discusses how through compulsive behaviors, such as watching television, people forget their lives and focus on other people's problems. The paper contends that this media is brainwashing society with flawed and stereotypical ideas that then are associated into people's real lives. The paper refers to Plato's ideas and Eastern philosophy's teachings on not falling victim to the material world and calls for society to move beyond contemporary media.

From the Paper
"The contemporary state of our U.S. culture is outrageously flawed, undoubtedly much more than the majority of Americans realize. The reasons for this are many, complex and interconnected. One of the worst problems--perhaps even the unholy hub between these catastrophic spokes of our problematic nation--is the mass media. It truly is massive, and therefore is filled with a variety of problems that cause affliction in the form of mind destruction, quite unbeknownst to the masses. Most people today would rather sit in an alpha-trance receiving thirty second information bytes and devotedly following the unrealistic lives of envy-invoking people than engaging in a creative conversation or environment. Another favorite stimulant is music, a classic attention diverting technique. While people attempt to numb their minds, they are inadvertently causing much more harm than anyone used to believe."

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the various types of psychological techniques used by the Nazis during the Second World War, including propaganda and brainwashing. The paper explains that a key factor for the Germans' support of Hitler was the use of psychological methods that helped keep them convinced of the viability of the military campaigns, as well as the infallibility of their deranged leader. The paper provides a discussion of the Nazis' perception of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and analyzes how the Nazis used their works and how they applied them to their own endeavors. The paper concludes that the Nazis were more heavily influenced by the propaganda and crowd control techniques offered by Gustave LeBon.

From the Paper
"In his essay, "How to Make Enemies and Influence People: Anatomy of the Anti-Pluralist, Totalitarian Mindset," Montuori (2005) asks, "Why is it easy to get people to do the bidding of their leaders? How was it possible for a sophisticated, educated population like Germany's to follow blindly the dictates of a maniacal leader, and to embark on the horrors of the Nazi regime?" (18). The answers to these questions have been the source of much investigation since the end of World War II."

Abstract
This paper analyzes how Alex is sent to Borstal and punished, after which he is returned to society essentially no better than before. Alex is given a choice and chooses the brainwashing that allows him to be returned to society, supposedly a better person. The writer explains that Burgess affirms in this novel, is the power of the human spirit and the belief that we have to respect that spirit even when it is anti-social.

From the Paper
"Anthony Burgess in A Clockwork Orange looks to the near future and extrapolates from his own time to one where many young people have become urban marauders, taking out their frustrations in violence and living completely amoral lives. Alex tells his own story as well, doing so in the cynical pseudo-language of his generation. Burgess uses the issue of "free will" and the way human beings prize it as a way of taking the reader from his or her contemporary world to the fictional world of the future."

Abstract
The writer of this in-depth paper focuses on assorted dystopian themed novels and the impact these works of writing have on the reader. This paper analyzes novels such as "Brave New World," "Fahrenheit 451" and "1984" all written about dystopian societies while comparing them to more upbeat novels depicting perfect utopian societies. Ray Bradbury's novel "Brave New World" describes the individuality that is stripped from its people who are forced to live brainwashed and segregated without them even knowing of it; the people of this futuristic world see it as utopia whereas the reader can clearly see it's in fact dystopia. George Orwell's "1984" presents a world to the reader where there is no chance for a utopia whereas the citizens see this world as a utopia due to telescreens, propaganda and brainwashing that leads to a society of no desires or thoughts. The writer also details the plots and characters of both dystopian and utopian themed novels as well as the motivating factors which inspired the authors' creativity.

From the Paper
"George Orwell presents a world to the reader where there is no chance for a utopia whereas the citizens see this world as a utopia due to telescreens, propaganda's and brainwashing that leads to a society of no desires or thoughts. Citizens are not allowed to have personal thoughts or feelings due to the telescreens that destroys the individual mind. Telescreens is a designs that is a two way interacting television set that the Party uses to keep people from thinking. The telescreens are monitored by a force called the Thought Police. "Thought police plugged in on any individual wire, in the assumption that every sound you made was over heard." We see how this is forced greatly on the people when Winston has to hide himself from telescreens just to write down some of his thoughts. Huge posters with big eyes reminds the people that Big Brother is watching them."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although his childhood was described as happy, Desmond Tutu, born in 1931, pointed out years later that racial discrimination resulted in a kind of brainwashing, which taught acceptance of exploitation. In 1958, after the takeover of African education by the government, teacher Tutu left this profession to become an Anglican priest. The paper explores TuTu's political achievements as general secretary of the South African Council of Churches (SACC), which advocated civil disobedience as a response to racist law. The author relates the core of Tutu's personal theology and philosophy, which transformed his society.

From the Paper
"In the late 1970s, Tutu began calling for international economic pressure on South Africa, and continued his support of sanctions throughout the 1980s. In June 1980 Tutu met with R. W. Botha on behalf of the SACC to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation. Tutu based his appeal to the government on four points: a commitment to common citizenship for all South Africans, the abolition of pass laws, the end of forced relocation, and a uniform education system. The discussion did not progress very far, and future meetings collapsed due to government inflexibility. "

Abstract
This paper shows that while some call Hitler's pamphlets, radio programs and book "propaganda," to Hitler they were just good "marketing." Hitler constantly used his "propaganda machine" to tear down the credibility and as defense to negative propaganda being distributed by his sworn enemy, the United States. The paper examines how Hitler used many forms of media to distribute his messages to the masses, including dropping pamphlets from the Hindenburg, one of Nazi Germany's finest shows of strength and power. This paper compares Hitler's use of this form of propaganda to the the way in which advertising companies and other forms of media promote products and images, concluding that both are effective forms of brainwashing.

From the Paper
"This "Propaganda War" grew to epic proportions that would make the best Superbowl advertisers of today proud. Both sides sent a barrage of pamphlets, books, and radio broadcasts, posters and many more creative mediums in an attempt to break the public's confidence in the other side. When the United States launched their own propaganda war, Hitler tried to use this against them also in a "look what the meanies are trying to do us" type of idea. He tried to use the United States media campaign to gain credibility for this own cause. The media campaigns used by both sides were impressive."
