There's a number of ways in which we can all TAKE ACTION and get involved to "deprogram"
our minds, promote change, and reclaiim freedom of thought.
Here's a few suggestions:
1. Blow up your television! Or, at least consider going on a TV diet and seriously limit your consumption of mass-media. Its like a drug, for many people, and kicking the habit can cause withdrawls. But, once you do, not only will you start feeling better, (both mentally and physically),
you might also be surprised what you can achieve with all the free time you have on your hands.
2. Replace what you do watch on TV with positive, educational, or public programming, such as
PBS or local Community Television.
3. For Parents - set limits on your child's expsure to television. If you think about it, could there
be a possible correlation between mass-media and the tremendous rise in children being diagnosed with ADHD in our society today? Talk with your kids, create a dialog, and encourage critical thinking of the messages they receive from popular media.
4. Support local Art House / Boutique Theaters by going to see "indie-films" produced outside
of the mainstream Hollywood studio system - which is now totally owned by mega-global conglomerates. Who needs the money more? Universal or struggling artists? Besides, how
many big-budget, EFX driven, super hero, franchise films do you really need to see?
5. Become educated on the various techniques being used in mass-media to target and control
your thoughts."PROGRAMMING THE NATION?" is a good starting
point and some of the authors interviewed for the film have a variety books on the subject for additional information. Remember
that by raising our levels of consciousness, subliminal programming has a diminished effect.
6. Push to keep arts and music programs in public schools. With nation-wide budget cuts to education, they also need financial contributions, cash donations and volunteers. Also, push for increased media literacy programs in schools.
7. Join a community service group, volunteer at a local non-profit, get involved in a grass-roots organization, political
group, and/or attend public hearings in your area. We can all do this with the time we save not watching the boob tube!
8. Shop at and support locally owned small businesses whenever possible, . You may complain that their prices are somewhat higher, but when all you have left in your area is big box stores and strip-malls filled with Starbucks and Subways, you'll wish you had paid a little more.
