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 inherently resilient and capable of critical thinking; they can discern manipulation when it occurs. Instead of focusing on manipulation, we should empower individuals with education and awareness, fostering a society that values transparency and honesty. By shifting our attention to tangible challenges, we can create meaningful change rather than getting bogged down in the abstract notion of manipulation.
