So guys, I have to write 300-500 words on how I can see examples of the following in our world today:

·The idea that science and technology can be used to control people.

·How propoganda can be used to control people.

·How money, advertising and propoganda can manipulate voters.

and my first thought was that you guys would know the most about that. So what examples ARE there?

What level of writing are we talking about here, High-school or college? Don't worry, we don't really mind if you're underage here.

>The idea that science and technology can be used to control people.

Technological development has allowed greater understanding of the human mind (medical science, behavioral experiments), transmission of information, spreading of ideas and general influence of opinions.

>How propoganda can be used to control people.

That's pretty much what propaganda is for, isn't it? I suggest you read "Propaganda" by Bernays and watch "Century of the Self". Using the start of your text (probably the first paragraph, given the size) to give a definition of propaganda is a good idea.

>How money, advertising and propaganda can manipulate voters.

Money doesn't influence anyone, it is always a means for something. Advertising is a facet of propaganda.
It isn't just about votes, it's about consumption, and life goals, and moral values and so on.

The two examples I can think of the top of my head are the War on Terror and Gamergate. One is big enough that everyone will know and the other is recent enough that it will still be fresh on people's minds.

Firstly you are assuming that we are not from the same country and that we are all college educated. You shouldn't assume anything about us.
Secondly, you assume that because you are going to college in a different country than the one you imagine we are in, the assignment will seem like it is from a lower level of education. That is an underestimation of the level of your college and an overestimation of the level of our colleges.
Thirdly, you assume a self-depreciating position because of your perceived status as a foreigner.
Finally, it's "I'm a dirty foreigner". You forgot the article.

That's a lot of assumptions.

When is the assignment due? Would you like to tell us more about what you are studying? Can you post it here when you are done?

Jesus, 300-500 words? That's barely enough to even explain what the science of manipulating people even means in the 21st century. You haven't even started to prove its existence. Then again, the first "topic" of your list covers the 2 other topics you named.

Oh, the irony is intense.

>300-500 words

OP is clearly in high school.

>on how I can see examples of the following in our world today

Write 300-500 words on why you see no examples in modern society, and call your teacher a conspiracy theorist. They want you to blame the 'dumb' majority for the problems of the oligarchy. That's what everyone else does, because it makes them feel special.

>·The idea that science and technology can be used to control people.

"Science and technology are forces of invention that have only furthered communications. They filter out propaganda, by equalizing all voices and slowly progressing them towards the same volume. Before the internet, only the more monetarily endowed of people would be able to have their voice heard, and their opinions shown to a worldwide audience. Before the television, only people capable of packing newspapers onto ships, moving them across the oceans of the world would be able to have their ideas heard by other people. Now, we can transmit ideas on a whim, and they can affect people."

>·How *propaganda* can be used to control people.

"People can only be convinced of truths and untruths based on their own free will. Propaganda can not be used effectively anymore, as everyone is capable of putting their ideas on display in a way that is accessible to the majority of people. Propaganda is drowned out by the majority who is able to speak freely. Misleading information is dying out, as anything published through common telecommunications now has to be thought of as a lie until proven true, due to anyones ability to speak on it. Everyone has an opportunity to question and oppose the ideas put forth by propaganda, and everyone makes it mandatory through the belief that everyone on the internet is a liar."

>·How money, advertising and *propaganda* can manipulate voters.

I'd like to know what country you're in, but if it's a democratic republic, as opposed to a democracy, similair to America, this might work.

"There is absolutely no logical reason to manipulate voters, as the final vote is decided by the electoral college. Take the American Gore || Bush presidential election. The majority in America had voted for Gore, yet the electoral college had overruled the majority and decided that Bush was to be president. What followed was a laughably low approval rating, and a terrible presidency, as well as a skyrocketing deficit, which had been completely turned around during the presidency of Bill Clinton. The sad reality of a democratic republic, is that voters don't really exist at all. They're simply participants in a poll. A poll which can be obeyed or trashed, arbitrarily. To further elaborate, the candidates in our example, America, are both nominated by forks of the same political party, the Democratic-Republicans, founded by Thomas Jefferson. That means that even the electoral college doesn't really decide, but instead, the money decides long before it can even get near the 'voters'."

Just for the record OP, I fucking hate Al Gore.

That should be about 400 words. Feel free to Plagiarize, as this post is CC0.
