“The physical lot of surviving workers had notably improved, with unemployment insurance, social security, and the new health services, while their children's school education was assured by the government-operated schools: in addition, they had, for intellectual or emotional stimulus and diversion, the radio and the television. But the work itself was no longer as various, as interesting, or as sustaining to the personality.” ChildrenGovernmentSchoolSocialInterestingSecurityTelevisionEmotionalPersonalityIntellectualWorkersRadioVariousUnemploymentSocial SecurityAssuredSurvivingStimulusSustainingDiversionSchool EducationHealth Services Book:The Pentagon of Power Source: The Pentagon of Power

“Audiences will see what they want to see. Some will come out, hopefully enjoying two hours of action. Some people will find themselves gravitating towards the emotional dilemma that the characters find themselves in. Other people will see that there is some layer of subversions to the storytelling aspect of poking a finger of judgment at certain governments to the idea of foreign invasion, others maybe false pretenses.” PeopleWantTwoIdeasCharacterGovernmentActionCertainEnjoyHoursAudienceEmotionalJudgmentAspectFingersStorytellingHopefullyLayersInvasionDilemmaPretenseSubversion Author:Colin Farrell

“The role of the opposition leader differs from that of the chancellor. If this government is to be successful, I have to take the emotional state of all partners into account.

“A formative influence on my undergraduate self was the response of a respected elder statesmen of the Oxford Zoology Department when an American visitor had just publicly disproved his favourite theory. The old man strode to the front of the lecture hall, shook the American warmly by the hand and declared in ringing, emotional tones: "My dear fellow, I wish to thank you. I have been wrong these fifteen years." And we clapped our hands red. Can you imagine a Government Minister being cheered in the House of Commons for a similar admission?

“We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." Everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." But it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. And that's a key distinction.” StatesUseGovernmentCertainTermSecurityMediaExampleEmotionalKeysConcernedResponsePhrasesDistinctionProvokingNational SecurityEmotional Response Author:Edward Snowden
