Description: THE CENTURY OF SELF(EPISODE 1):The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires. Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book, from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to eroticising the motorcar. His most notorious coup was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom. But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people could be made happy and thus docile. It was the start of the all-consuming self which has come to dominate today's world.

Crander1962 ::: Favorites Caucasians use over 70 percent of all illegal drugs in the U.S. ....think about it.... 07-08-06 22:07:49 _____________________________________________________
cometepiace ::: Favorites Very simplistic, caucasians easily make up to 80 - 85% of the total population, so what you're really saying is that the "others" in the population are consuming way more illegal drugs than caucasians..... quit seeing things to make yourself comfortable, find the facts. They should be decriminalized anyway, pharmaceutical drugs are way worse than illegal drugs, with a lot more addiction. 07-08-09 19:53:44 _____________________________________________________
hughtub ::: Favorites Edward Bernays' studies are the basis of why universal suffrage equates with media control of the government. If the voters aren't rational, and the media can control their choices, then the media controls politics and whoever owns the media controls the nation. 07-07-15 23:13:57 _____________________________________________________
setanta333 ::: Favorites this is a very true statement,you can see evidence of this every day on Fox news.FAIR and BALANCED,I dont think so 07-07-21 14:59:07 _____________________________________________________
hughtub ::: Favorites Fox is definitely right-wing oriented, and was created to appeal to the growing mass of viewers who were disenchanted with the liberal orientation of the rest of the mass media. 07-07-21 15:35:40 _____________________________________________________
LordBicen ::: Favorites really? well they are number one in the news world. it's a fact. the mass of population are tired of a liberal slant on things. Theres always CNN and MSNBC for people like you that prefer to stay in the dark. So cry me a river for your bleeding heart ass. 07-08-01 20:50:23 _____________________________________________________

skipperiffic ::: Favorites CNN and MSNBC are hardly "Liberal" 07-08-02 16:28:22 _____________________________________________________
LordBicen ::: Favorites hahaha ok you can "think" that if you want. Just because they have maybe a handful of Independant reporters, like Chris Mathews and Dan Abrams, Does not mean that the whole network is that way. And CNN? Clinton News Network? Dont even get me started on CNN. I dont have enough space here. Point is, Fox News is Fair and Balanced as news Gets. Point = Hannity and Colmes. Why is it that Liberals Preach Tollerance, yet they are the first one to lash out when someone disagrees with them? 07-08-02 21:31:14 _____________________________________________________
skipperiffic ::: Favorites Liberals first to lash out...Well how do you explain Bill O'reilley,Rush,Savage or the many others who always resort to name calling when someone disagrees? Both of your posts here insult liberals. "Bleeding Heart Ass" "Clinton News Network". Anderson Cooper is the only TV news anchor who seems to have some credibility. As far as radio try Amy Goodman,David Barsamian or Lara Flanders for an actual liberal view. 07-08-03 11:42:42 _____________________________________________________
skipperiffic ::: Favorites This discussion is not focused on the right argument. We are not talking about Liberal/Conservative/Democrat/Republican. This is about rich/poor. More to the point it is about the power elite vs the masses. Just ask Ed Bernays. 07-08-03 11:46:38 _____________________________________________________
LordBicen ::: Favorites Ok so you wantg to rob "Peter" because he busts his ass day in and day out to have things in his life, and give it to some welfare looser names "Paul" that gets high and slaps his wife around and wont go out and make something of his life instead of being a burden on society? I work hard for my money pal and i dont think it's right that i have to carry some idiot because he's a highschool dropout. BTW im not an eliteist. Im a working class joe. 07-08-04 00:59:31 _____________________________________________________
LordBicen ::: Favorites no thanks. i'll pass. I didnt mention O'Reilly cause i think he is alittle nutty myself, guy. i prefer "center" standing myself. I got crazies to my right and chickens to my left, but since you brought up Bill, No news anchor does more for the rights of kids, and "Liberal" judges like to parole molesters and rapists, and yet lock people up for years over smoking weed?! Wheres the logic in that? Not that i smoke that stuff, but i figure the punishment should fit the crime. 07-08-04 00:55:37 _____________________________________________________
hypnofan35 ::: Favorites Being a person is big fun. HaHa. Sometimes it is a little crazy. Tra la. i don't think anyone knows what to do about it. Fa la. i'm pretty sure i did not have anything to say about it. i think i'm happy i haven't been thrown in a hole before i die. By now i'm pretty sure i should not push my luck on that. fah la. Ta da. La de dah. 07-06-15 20:42:23 _____________________________________________________

ElAurenz ::: Favorites He is very aplomb, there are plums and plumbs and Fraud died because his jaw told lies. 07-06-06 02:45:34 _____________________________________________________
tjgmacmillan ::: Favorites so dont judge that 07-06-06 02:23:46 _____________________________________________________
ElAurenz ::: Favorites Why not, Fraud was full of judgments, what's wrong with that? 07-06-06 02:47:21 _____________________________________________________
4Article1 ::: Favorites Thank goodness some of Freud's crap was incorrect, now if we could only work on Bernays' crap as well. Choice, what a joke! All these products are made by the same companies but you pay more for the name on one over the other. Too bad they're the same product. 07-06-05 17:58:50 _____________________________________________________
wiskawind ::: Favorites This is a great video series! Much of this I studied in college and that knowledge has kept me thinking my own thoughts, instead of being turned into a mindless consumer. (grin) I have to admit it has saved me lots of money too. 07-06-05 10:54:27 _____________________________________________________
tjgmacmillan ::: Favorites explain? 07-06-05 07:55:22 _____________________________________________________
