Interpreting Manipulation in the Process of Political Communication
Interpreting Manipulation in the Process of Political Communication

Summary/Abstract: The functional objective of any communicative act must, in fact, be defined by the persuasive capacity of the communicator in conjunction with the method of information dissemination while also encompassing the parameters of comprehension associated with the individual or group identity of the receiver or receivers. Simply put, any manipulation endeavour shall ascertain the need for a powerful communicator, a strong channel of distribution and a platform of reception that will be susceptible to believing the truthfulness of the message that will be confirmed and enforced through repetition, steadfastness and strength. This paper aims at uncovering the fact that political culture is not an innate natural vector of relevance but rather a plethora of factors implemented within a context of communicational authority and assertiveness via a powerful and efficient channel of communication. Individual identity and independent thought are often misrepresentations perpetrated by the mechanisms of personal hubris. In reality, a communicational approach, a sociological analysis shall explore people from the perspective of groups that are inextricably defined by age, gender, race, geographical positioning, religion or social status.
