RE: Is Society a Reflection of Who We Truly Are, or How "They" Want Us To Be?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Everything is a reflection of the collective human psyche. It's just to bad that most of the negative, facade stuff is what's get presented by the corporations, media and all that. Greed and power is certainly a big factor what you're writing about. And you could also ask what did it all start with? Have we changed our values in time? And now realizing that we want to change things. Or is this been more forcefully put upon us when we intantionally could be said to not want to create this kind of world. I don't know.

What do you mean by the "collective human psyche"?

Values need to change towards what better serves us all, morality. If we don't choose to do right, others impose their version of what's "right" onto us: centralized authority.

With the collective human psyche, I'm just referring to all the different individual mindsets altogether. Which I think is reflected by values of the media, corporations and so on. We all need to change our values as you say, hopefully towards the better and by doing so we'll see it reflect collectively also.
