I took the time to watch the push, a documentary about how high a person's submissiveness can be. It was filmed from a real show, and the test subjects didn't even know there was a camera, and they didn't know they were in the game. At the beginning, a kind-hearted waiter was taken advantage of and received a call from the FBI. When the other party was serious and did not give any time to think about it, he listened to the other party's instructions and led a mother away step by step, and he pushed it away with his own hands. this kid. This is the first step of submissiveness. We tend to trust the police and succumb to authority. Under the pressure of the other party, we will lose our balance first, and we will be easily guided.
The British magician who is the driving force behind this documentary, dropped the bomb that, in extreme circumstances, a morally conscious ordinary person would commit the most horrific acts that could turn your entire life upside down and you couldn't even predict it, In thirty minutes you will be in a corner, and vitality is to push the person who put you in the corner from the top of the building.
Before the start of this project, they screened the test subjects. For example, he used the herd effect or herd mentality to select people with higher obedience as the test subjects. contact with the person, and imperceptibly give him some important information. The first test, also called stepping in the door, (meaning that when he helps you with a small thing, he is more likely to help you with a bigger thing) has the test subject plant a flag with a vegan sign in a non-vegetarian dish, Almost all test subjects did so. After the test, disguised the deceased, gave a speech on stage, including photographing the box, carrying the body, kicking the deceased to create bruises, and finally found that the other party was not actually dead, and the other party knew everything about what he had done, and the other party was beside him. All the rich guys are chatting in your ears, do whatever u take in TV commercials, keep roaring in your ears at all costs, there are many people who can't resist the pressure, succumb to the noise in front of them, and finally really Violating his own principles, he pushed the opponent down.
But the last little brother didn't. It didn't follow the instructions three times, one was when he asked him to open the box, the other was when he was asked to kick the dead man, and the third was when he was told to push the dead man. I was very nervous. This game is so precise. Since two months ago, I have been making corpses that even I admit that if it is my own, I can't tell the difference. I'm afraid I can't bear it either, which makes me a little terrified. In fact, many people feel that they will definitely not do this, but when exposed to that environment, they still violate their own moral values, values and their own personality, and do things they will definitely not do.
This test deeply digs out human nature, which brings me a lot of thinking and shock. The group is actually very ignorant. It is indeed very sober to think independently from the individual, but when we enter the group, we will lose our independence. Many people, including myself, will actually obey social morality and authority without compromise. This is also called social subordination. The higher the social subordination, the more efficient the management will be. Many times, we will overestimate ourselves when we are not really immersed in the situation, but when we are really in that kind of high-pressure environment, the people around us hardly give us time to think, we are bewildered on all sides, and there is no way to retreat, will you pay? Be able to embrace the original intention, insist on yourself, get rid of the noise, and hear your own voice.
The documentary, also called Mind Magic, ends with magician Darren Brown saying, "We're all susceptible to influence, whether it's a group of people or an ideology, as if we're completely letting others decide what we do." To live, to do things according to their ideas, to achieve their ambitions. By understanding this, understanding how we can be manipulated, we can become stronger, can learn to say no, we can push back!”
How are we manipulated? I thought about it:
First, you must be kind, and you are afraid of hurting others because you don't know how to say no.
Second, you must be very concerned about harmony, you follow the rules and obey the collective.
Third, you take the overall situation into consideration, and in order for things to proceed as planned and to ensure each other's interests, you can aggrieve yourself.
Fourth, you are a very weak person. This weakness is mostly in terms of the right to speak. You do not have much right to speak, so you will subconsciously obey the voice you hear.
Fifth, you are generally a person who goes with the flow. You don’t know what you want, and you don’t have your own set of emergency mechanisms. When an emergency occurs, it is easy to panic and follow other people’s words.
Therefore, the answer is also obvious: keep calm and self-control, do not give up independent thinking, be vigilant about the control of the environment, and keep your bottom line. You need to protect your rights more and be more active in fighting for what you want. To make your heart strong, you must always embrace your original intention, when the world is noisy and complicated, you must calm down and listen to your inner voice.
Excerpt from the notes of the Great God:
1. Following the crowd can make people integrate into the group more quickly, but we must always be wary of the group's de-individualization of us. we can push back! 2. When he helps you with a small thing, he is more likely to help you with a bigger thing, which is called stepping in the door 3. In society even when most people are doing meaningless things 4. When everyone has a common standard, you will be under invisible pressure if you fail to meet the standard, which will make you feel inferior and feel inferior. Being inferior to others is easier to control It is easy to be influenced by social submissiveness. In order to integrate into it, people will do anything After lying, there will inevitably be more lies to cover up 9. When a person is under extreme pressure, if you want to pressurize him, you must first give him a comfortable transition, then give him an unexpected situation and a 10. .The preset solution, let him barely get through, let him think the pressure is relieved 12. But when his pressure reaches its peak, don't force him to make obvious unreasonable judgments, it will stimulate his resistance response! 13. To be in a state of constant order, whether it is a big order or a small order, squeeze his thinking time and control his rhythm 14. Do things logically, and can correspond before and after, so that the other person thinks of everything What you want him to think of 15. Make him stand in a position and induce him to stand in front of strangers (actually set up) 16. For someone who has been controlled, keep making him feel guilty and make him think He is the wrong party, making him feel that the fault is mainly his
OK, goodnight.
