Episode #43: Mechanisms of Power & Control in American Culture
from Intellectual Freedom Podcast · host David D. Hopkins, PhD
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Yet, in modern American culture, the tendency is towards conformity, not individuality, and freedom for most people. Americans, from birth, have been conditioned not towards self-actualization and independence, but rather conformity. There are numerous mechanisms used by politicians, institutions, as well as powerful and wealthy individuals to push the masses towards fitting in, doing their job, remaining compliant, following the rules, and not questioning the status quo. This podcast will discuss four key areas of life in America that help keep the 'have' and 'have nots' conveniently separated the bulk of America from the privileged few. Once we understand the mechanisms of control, we, as a society, have the ability to push back against the powers that be, so each of us can strive towards self-actualization. #culturechange #politics #mainstreammedia #freedomSend us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
