I read this on the disadvantages of social media. Thought Id share it with you. On social media. Ok, its ironic. But some of this is already putting me off facebook! 1. Milieu control: Control of an individual’s communication with the external world, hence his or her perceptions of reality 2. Mystical manipulation: Evoking certain patterns of behavior and emotion in such a way that they seem to be spontaneous 3. The demand for purity: The belief that elements outside the chosen group should be eliminated to prevent them from contaminating the minds of group members 4. The cult of confession: The use of an insistence on confession to minimize individual privacy 5. Sacred science: Viewing the ideology’s basic dogmas as both morally unchallengeable and scientifically exact, thus increasing their apparent authority 6. Loading the language: Compressing complex ideas into brief, definitive-sounding phrases, “thought-terminating clichés” 7. The primacy of doctrine over person: The idea that a dogma is more true and more real than anything experienced by an individual human being 8. The dispensing of existence: The right to control the quality of life and eventual fate of both group members and non-members
