Can you share some examples of brainwashing in online stories?
Well, in online shopping stories, some unethical marketers create a sense of false scarcity. For example, they'll say 'Only 3 items left!' to make you feel pressured to buy immediately. This is a form of brainwashing. Also, in some online fan - fiction stories that promote unrealistic body images or relationships. They can subconsciously influence readers, especially young ones, to have distorted views on what is normal or desirable.
One example could be in some clickbait online stories that promote extreme diet plans. They might use false before - and - after pictures and exaggerated testimonials to brainwash people into believing that these dangerous diets are effective. Another instance is in some political online stories that are one - sided and full of misinformation, aiming to sway public opinion in a certain direction without presenting all the facts.
Sure. In some online self - help stories, there are those that promote the idea of overnight success. They tell tales of people who became millionaires or achieved great things in an impossibly short time. These stories often omit the hard work and failures that are actually part of the journey. By only presenting the glamorous end result, they brainwash readers into thinking success is easy and quick, which can lead to disappointment and wrong decision - making when people try to apply those unrealistic concepts to their own lives.
