Abstract

This study, focused on the entire sociological process of social influences, first examines the early military psychological operations (PSYOP) of news manipulation, leading up to the current brainwashing most interested in all persuasion processes and the fundamental points for piloting human behavior. The study also does not overlook mass suggestion, crowd psychology, and the loss of personal identity, starting from the contributions of Gustav Le Bon and Sigmund Freud to arrive at the 8 typologies of the "change process" and the decrease of "volitional power."
