Currently, a person is "poured out" by the huge flows of harmful information that affect the daily life of everyone. Using methods of structureless control, a person can be instilled with any model of behavior. It is easy to do this - through the works of mass culture, making them vivid, memorable, introducing explicit scenes, stuffing the characters with various harmful models of behavior. On the other hand - to create a stir around these "works", information hype. To do this, give the floor in the press and on TV to those critics who will praise such creativity. And through institutes of awards to encourage the development of such products.
Trust in experts, imitation of heroes, unconscious acceptance of frequently repeated information as 100% truth - leads to programming a person in the right direction. In order not to become a victim of such processing, everyone needs to develop critical thinking and understand the essence of what is happening, be able to distinguish useful from harmful, good from evil, voluntary motivation from malicious intent.
Information flow management begins with a person's understanding of the meaning of his life and setting serious life goals. A person with goals in life identifies which streams of information affect him the most. These streams are everything that surrounds us, including various manifestations of mass culture.
Further, he determines the goals of the influence of these flows, asking the questions "what does this teach?", "What ideas and meanings are embedded in this information?"
Having received the answers to these questions, you can easily compare this influence of information with personal life goals. Will it help to achieve the desired or, on the contrary, inhibit development and contribute to "sliding down"?
