Power has many meanings, most of which imply a capacity for control or force. This willing for control that people have, has caused a huge ammount of civil wars, protests, discussions and others. The persuit for power doesn’t take limits. To aim their objective people act irrationaly, cruelly, and sometimes may cause death. The government is a power, but it is the minority in relation of the population. If the population decides to rebel, the government will fall. The way that the government found to control the mass and keep the power was manage the media. The media rules people’s life, thoughts, and desires. Blindly, people think that they are the ones that have the power of think and decide by themselves but in reality the government thought the media is the one controling us. To give a better idea, lets say: when we talk about coffe what comes to our minds is starbucks, when we talk about hamburger, burger king or mcdonalds comes to our minds; but why not think about cuban coffe, or a delicious home made hamburger? Because uncounciously media makes us think that the tastest ones are starbucks and burger king, the other ones are just…other ones that are not so much tasty and delicious and desired. Who told that the skin body is the perfect one? Media did it, and people struggle themselves in diets to have this “ideal” body. Besides marketing, in politics media is the responsible for the results in elections, in the information that we get and everything else. In a campain politics rise the employment in the last few years of mandate in orther to population think that he has controled the country pretty good. The secret information only let us know what may be favorable to the politics. Even in education the government is manipulatin people, so they have an education where they learn to think less and that way be more vunerable. Everything is made with a certain intention, nothing is given for free; not here, not in Brazil, not in Africa, not in China or wherever place. Everythong is manipulated and the population is more and more ilusionated about it.
