Manipulation
- Dependence on manipulation
- Manipulative people
Nature
Dominating another person so that they act according to one's will. Manipulation implies that devious means are used and that the manipulated may well be acting against their own self-interest.
Claim
A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government. (Kenneth Boulding)
Counter-claim
Manipulation is often overstated as a significant problem, overshadowing more pressing issues like poverty and climate change. People are resilient and capable of critical thinking; they can discern when they are being manipulated. Instead of focusing on manipulation, we should empower individuals with education and awareness. By fostering strong communication skills and emotional intelligence, we can mitigate the effects of manipulation, making it a minor concern in the grand scheme of societal challenges.
