Personality manipulation

Personality manipulation is an important concept to understand about. After I for some hours had thought about this topic, I found the words personality manipulation well suited for what I was thinking about.

I was thinking that it is possible to produce a stated construction of ways of thinking, measure of values, and experience of oneself; in a person. I thought that it is possible; to take away some knowledge and throw them in the trash can, then polish some other knowledge to make them emerge better than they are, mix in some lies, and then give the person an experience of oneself as to be something good in that construction of ways of thinking. This is a simplification of what I am thinking about.

I started to think about the word brainwashing, but found that word defined in a fixed way; disintegration and rebuilding of a new personality; which also is a simplification, of what that word means. Brainwashing is absolutely a relevant concept in this connection. But with personality manipulation I want to focus on a more adapted influence which now in progress in the world. I think it is not so noticeable as brainwashing, but still it is dangerous.

I started to think that personality manipulation goes on in the world in different ways.

There is established different circles of people who are developed in such tendentious ways.

It is possible to discover extensive use of such techniques from commonly commercial and idealistic organized activities. This leads to an indistinct situation where people lose their understanding about how dangerous this is, because it is too much of it.

I also think that a person can be started up to develop such a tendentious personality by oneself, where an impression of oneself as something good is intensified in the middle of it all.

Other ways of this phenomenon are for sure possible to find.

This is to look at as a fast note, I have done in the course of a few hours an afternoon. It is possible to work much more thoroughly with this topic over a long time. This is only a fast an easy note for further thinking.
