Reality Isn't What It Used To Be Essay

Walter addresses clearly in Chapter five concerning ‘making beliefs and making believe’ and further describes the aspects of human life and the effects of brainwashing. Walter expounds concerning the extent of brainwashing experienced to a larger extent by a number of people throughout the world. The catholic clergy mentioned that it resembled the present methods used in his own church. Over-exaggeration cause many people vulnerable to the religious indoctrination in the Roman Catholic Church (pp121).
Politicians have advanced into politics for their own emotional gratification where some are performed as theatrical events. There is however brainwashing thus no realizable difference between political pose and position. The prevalent political need according to Hentoff was overlooked by the thought that politicians were merely seeking for national identity in postmodernism (123-124).
Walter further asserts that comparisons between pseudo-events and real events in the contemporary American life. Typical pseudo-events are press release, interviews and celebrations intended to establish business enterprises. Moreover, human thoughts concerning political life are inseparable from public divergent beliefs (pp124).
Incidentally, since postmodernism influences other spheres of life thus turning reality around from myths. Moreover, many people get professional roles and responsibilities before realizing their personal identity. A Christian who takes part in activism against abortion and a young activist woman who realizes her passion while in the street are all examples of people who use the available political order to realize their personal definition (125).
In the theater of reality, the difference between pseudo-events and events has been forgotten and is no longer relevant to whether Grenada was a Marxist or not. The Grenada expedition in 1983 was unheard of among many Americans although it was already a national concern (pp125).
