I see this in school work, inter-personal communication, and other places. The media knows that people will believe what they read, so they can bend minds the direction that suits them. The same people that were encouraged to "question authority" are also taught to not question the media. Everyone should be encouraged to think for themselves, but this isn't happening. Our system is broken and won't fix itself. Much of America’s youth is not encouraged to think for themselves. I see this in school work, inter-personal communication, and other places.
