So while we *do* have impulses to behave in a very sexual way, or be <br>violent, and those do indeed come from 'deep inside' and belong to the<br>unconscious in the Freudian sense, it is not those that are being <br>manipulated, but in general it is the rationalisation process which<br>clearly does *not* belong the the unconscious - not even if many of our<br>rationalisations are in fact just excuses.<br><br>This also means that the responsability for accepting any product and<br>the rationalisation for doing so lies with those who do accept it. You<br>may think, and I agree, that trying to lure people into doing certain<br>things is not nice, but it is just an attempt - the final decision is<br>made by the target, not by the 'manipulator'. <br>----------------<br><br>Interesting viewpoint. How does this compare with the effect of a parent singing a lullaby to a screaming, non-vocabulary infant and immediately calming the infant? Is the
non-vocabulary infant making a conscious decision to stop crying, even though other internal and external stimuli may be present and it doesn't understand the vocabulary the parent is using?<br><br>Best,<br>Stephen.<br><br></div></div>
