The Value of Perception in Shaping Views and Media Manipulation
Perception plays a crucial role in shaping individual views and can be manipulated by external forces. In the context of conflicts like Israel and Palestine, the criticality of one's perception affects their stance. The online environment tends to polarize views, pushing individuals towards extremes. Lack of critical evaluation of one's perception leaves room for external influence to control thoughts. Media, advertising, and marketing industries have honed the skill of manipulating human minds through advanced technologies without individuals being aware of it. People often mistake surface-level information gathered online as 'research,' failing to delve into scientific evidence or multiple perspectives. This cycle highlights the significance of training and being critical of one's perception to avoid falling prey to manipulation.
