Representatives
of the various
branches of scientific knowledge in his work from time to time indicate that the socio-cultural
changes that mark the new millennium, with a dynamic character
to act as an initiating factor in the creation of various fractures and displacements
in the structural organization and
functioning of social institutions. Arising from this situation of uncertainty and unpredictability creating favorable conditions
for the manipulation of consciousness at different levels: manipulation of the consciousness of personality,
consciousness groups, mass consciousness. However, at any level of guidance stands, above all, the individual consciousness, since consciousness of the individual is integrated into the public consciousness and, thus, the consciousness of the individual
becomes a "key access" to public
consciousness, to which it can influence
it, directing view of attention and forming a definite opinion. That is, the information conveyed through the media,
based on the theory of two-step flow of information, E. Katz and P. Lazarsfeld,
initially accepted public opinion leaders, and from them transferred
to other members of society. This
is because the consciousness of the
individual includes the individual
and social consciousness. Handling effects directed at the
public consciousness of personality, which rebuilds the
individual consciousness, resulting in a person gets into hard-deterministic social environment, while maintaining confidence
that its activities are entirely independent.
Thus, the selection of a universal mechanism for the
manipulation of consciousness of personality, which is social and personal
nature, there is a possibility of entering the social aspect and a description
of its functioning in a highly deterministic socio-cultural environment,
because the effects of a mechanism for manipulating the consciousness of
personality excludes from its dominant social life in an ordinary environment
accident.
Base in the isolation and analysis of a universal mechanism for the manipulation of consciousness of
personality is the concept of "manipulation."
The integration of different
interpretations of this concept offers
the following definition of a
theoretical construct: the manipulation - is historically conditioned phenomenon, which has a structure consisting
of 1) the goal of initiating a certain type of individual behavior without regard to its
interests, 2) the secret methods to influence the consciousness of the
individual, 3) The actual process of impact
on the consciousness of the individual
performing the corrective, motivating, guiding function in the management of the
individual.
Because the work
is based on the needs that need, which is updated at a given time, will
initiate the beginning
of a certain type of activities to its satisfaction.
Thus, the need is realized at the level of behavior in a particular activity.
However, the behavior, carried out by a person under the influence of
manipulation and, therefore, not consciously, not equated with activity, as the
activity involves the active and deliberate inclusion of the individual in the
process of achieving. Therefore, in order to distinguish an individual's
behavior carried out under the influence of the outside and having to meet the
specific needs instilled introduced the term "behavioral activity".
This is all the more necessary because not all activity is expressed at the
level of behavior, for example, thought, although, of course, in most cases
precedes the appearance and behavior is not all work. Thus, the behavioral
activity is a system of actions taken by a person under the influence and
manipulation aimed at meeting the needs of the activated
Close but not identical
to the theoretical construct of
"manipulation" is a theoretical
construct of "social
mechanism for manipulating the consciousness of personality", which appears in a structure that is part of a social phenomenon - the
manipulation and represents the
unity and interaction of the
three components of universal’s
"core" of the mechanism:
the introduction, integration and translation.
Construct in the context of the situation (a form of government,
history and civilization of the form type) is
filled with new content, which, without affecting
the structural and procedural nature of the mechanism
that creates optimal variant
of the social mechanism the manipulation
of consciousness the individual with
regard to specific circumstances. That is, the universal mechanism
and structural and
procedural items to
remain unchanged not
depend on the content, which varies from
the context of its application.
Universal integration as
part of the social mechanism involves
the manipulation of consciousness the
individual ideas and concepts introduced
in the consciousness of the individual
manipulators (with a view to issuing
false and partially false submissions are really true.)
Its procedural manifested in the development, understanding, experience and ideas
of representations made to
the consciousness of the individual manipulators.
Universal broadcast as part of the social mechanism of
the manipulation of consciousness of personality is the expected type of
behavior and, accordingly, it’s processual shown to demonstrate the expected
behavior of individual manipulators, which is both the goal and result.
Accordingly, before the impact
it is necessary to
plan, therefore, must be preceded by the manipulative effects of stage of elaboration, which
are clarified: 1, program objectives,
2, personal orientation (priorities
in the needs, values and attitudes), and 3, a set of tools
(methods) for assistance which will be the
impact of manipulation, creating in
the minds of individual motivation
to initiate the necessary behavior of the
individual manipulators. The
preparatory phase is not an ingredient
of the social mechanism of the
manipulation of consciousness of personality, but is a separate entity anticipating the application of this mechanism.
On
the basis of the classification system of historical
types of ideologies and ideological
situations VS Malitsky
(Malickiy VS 2005) developed a typology of
the social mechanism authorial manipulation
of consciousness of the
individual forms (the forms of
government), type (for historical
periods), type (type of civilization). At
the same used in the classification
of the concept of "form", "type",
"type" is taken in relation to each other on the principle of "less - a lot."
As
the scientific name of any phenomenon is a combination of two names, where
the first is a generic name, the
second - the species, then, accordingly, the definition
of the names and specifics of the social mechanism of the manipulation of
consciousness corresponding to features
of the current situation in two
stages The first stage involves
the imposition of the historic residence type of civilization, where the first title
will go to the
name of civilization type,
which acts as a generic, the second -
the name of the actual historical
form of social mechanism
for the manipulation of consciousness the individual acting as
a species. For example, the eastern
prehistoric type of social mechanism of manipulating the minds of the individual.
Both
within each species in the natural sciences is possible to distinguish sub-species,
as well, according to the law of analogy, and in
civilizational types of social mechanism of the manipulation of
consciousness is possible to distinguish the individual sub-species, subspecies which will
be allocated as a result of applying
the historical form of social consciousness of the individual mechanisms to shape the social
mechanism of the manipulation of consciousness the individual. For example, the
industrial form of the Western type
in combination with a totalitarian form of social
mechanism of the manipulation of consciousness of personality will give industrial totalitarian subspecies of the Western type of social mechanism for the manipulation of consciousness of the
individual.
In modern
Russia, authoritarian tendencies continue in the background are some steps to
democracy seem to be very fragile and uncertain, because despite the fact that
at the official level, the democratic constitutional norms exist, for example,
continues to operate the mechanism of alternative elections on a multiparty
basis, but almost in a society dominated by the executive power, weak civil
society, clientelistic forms of social relations, monopoly, the shadow economy,
and the parliamentary elections of 2003 and the presidential election of 2000
and 2004 clearly indicate a weakening of political competition. However, the
major political actors are the segments of the old and "new" elite
nature of the interaction which largely determines the evolution of the regime.
Moreover, by analyzing the results of elections to the State Duma of IV
convocation impossible not to notice the consolidation of centrist forces,
consisting of an eclectic synthesis of the ideas of moderate liberalism,
moderate nationalism, moderate power nationalism around the then President.
This trend over time has not diminished, and expanded its borders.
Thus, the ideology of democracy as a kind of
bargaining chip to extend its influence in international relations at the
national, which is used in the competition between the nomenclatures-oligarchic groups. Nevertheless,
the coming to power of V. Putin may be defined as a turning point in the
history of the state, because it marked the end of the transitional phase of
the revolutionary with its global economic and socio-political transformations.
First of all, this is due to the fact that VV Putin became the first President,
the legality of the election is not contested. However, his election was
primarily due to fatigue of the people from the crises of intrigue and
instability. Thus, Putin has appeared on the political scene in time and in the
most appropriate time for the role - the role of savior, because the situation
was quite ripe in order to stop and specify the "promised land" that
was done immediately. However, despite the criticism of anti-Putin opposition,
both from the left flank, and from liberals in Russia was not a complete
rejection of democratic norms and institutions, as the impact of the methods
used include techniques that are used and politicians of democratic countries
and those belonging to totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, and this arsenal
are not used stereotyped, as in previous periods, and flexible.
Thus, the ideology and methodology of action proposed by V.V. Putin and his successor stored D.A. Medvedev is
actually a peculiar combination of patriotic values with the recognition of private property rights and
market economy. That is, the visible features and the technocratic and
strategic thinking and design. In the same plane as the political rules of the
game is determined solely by the state, in particular through skillfully formed
public opinion in such a way as to suppress potentially dangerous to the power
problem and the pockets of discontent. Accordingly, the existing regime in a
country of this period can be defined as a moderately authoritarian, and the
social mechanism for the manipulation of consciousness the personality of this
historical period as industrial-type authoritarian Russian subspecies with the
trend toward industrial-authoritarian Eastern type. In general, this period can
be characterized as stabilizing as the main force for return of the one-man,
one-party system, the imperial position as the global and domestic political
levels significantly strengthened power vertical and substantially reduced the
degree of democratic freedom, proclaimed and sickly existed under Yeltsin.
However, this step is fully consistent with the ideology of the Putin-Medvedev
and one of the main problems they solved: strengthening the central government
as a result of redistribution of power at the grassroots level of the regional
elites with the simultaneous creation of a system of federal control. As a
result, the governors of sovereign and independent figures will automatically
become fully accountable to the federal government the middle link between the
Kremlin and is represented in the regional parliament elite.
However, beginning in the 2005-2007 growing trends
related to changes in the subject of politics (the people ceases to be a given
subject) processes begin to dominate the simulation of the real centers as a
result of socio-political life in the country reduced to a minimum, and on
follow-up, as a result of acceptance of the Law on Non-Profit Organizations, is
planned to establish control. Media are virtually open persecution of those
whose participation in the upcoming presidential election campaign is not
desirable. In addition, against the background of the expert community imposed
on topics to be discussed "nation state", variations on this theme
and encourage amateurish arguments about "national idea" attempts to
overcome the contradictions in the socio-economic development promoted by the
"National Projects" [3] and , respectively, there is a
"sequential folding of democratic institutions: the virtual elimination of
media freedom, the abolition of gubernatorial elections and elections in single
member constituencies, the new laws on political parties and referendum. People
deprived of their right to vote to strengthen the so-called "vertical
power", which provides a new redistribution of property and rapacious
exploitation of natural resources of the country. Shamelessly hiding behind
patriotic rhetoric, the regime is strengthened to resist only with their own
people - in all other areas of the state weakened and unable to respond to new
global challenges. Today, the dynamics of changes in the political life of
Russia is now becoming rampant. The current regime deprives the country of the
positive prospects »(Kasparov G.K., 2005). That is going to prepare the ground
for a consistent transformation of the political system of a political
technology, "the president of the Crown" in the
"totalitarian" monarchy ". The direct result of the ongoing
targeted at the domestic level, policy has been convincing victory in the
presidential election March 14, 2008 receiver Putin, against which clearly
revealed the impotence of the communist and the liberal opposition.
Thus, in the period from 2000 to the present day is
consistent totalitarian government
at all levels and a natural consequence of this are the features which have a
preparatory stage and in fact the mechanism of manipulation of the
consciousness of personality of the period. The preparatory phase of the social
mechanism of the manipulation of consciousness the individual has the following
specifics. The true purpose of the impact of manipulation is to create a rigid
authoritarian system with elements of totalitarianism. Confirmation of this can
be seen looking at regulations, proposals, laws passed in recent years. For
example, the decision of the Constitutional Court of 18.10.2011 N 23-D of the
impossibility of bringing the judges to criminal liability for making knowingly
illegal sentence or other judicial act if the act came into force and not
repealed in the manner prescribed by procedural legislation and the proposal
made by 22/10/2011 to abolish the system witnesses in Russia Dmitry Medvedev at
a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Tver, the
Federal Law of 11.07.2011 N 195-FZ, entitling the investigating authorities the
ability to destroy narcotic drugs found physical evidence in criminal cases
before the sentencing court.
Accordingly, the
pseudo-objective, then that will be implemented in the individual consciousness
with the impact of manipulation - drawn to the idea of reviving the national idea. The model aims to achieve
a pseudo drive home the individual - the inclusion of reviving patriotic
movement (for example, the revival of the Cossacks, which was considered to
support the autocracy). Characteristic features of the social mechanism of the
manipulation of consciousness of personality are defined as follows.
Specificity of the content of universal adoption. The true idea of playing the role of conductor false floor and false
ideas is that patriotic education is important for the development of
self-awareness, developing a sense of patriotism. Half a false idea - a sense
of patriotism is one of the components of love for the motherland. False idea
that makes the essential content that is embedded in the notion of "patriotism"
when pride is replaced with pride and patriotic activities - support the
officially adopted positions. The false idea - Russia has a special mission,
which is expressed as a guarantor of peace at the global level because of the
special spiritual nature of its people in general, and every single person in
particular and to carry out this mission in the country to restore order.
Changes made in reality, are the laws and regulations adopted in this period.
Specificity of the content of universal integration: patriotic education is
important for the development of self-awareness, developing a sense of
patriotism. Patriotism is one of the components of love for the motherland.
Specificity of the content of universal translation. Formed and directed behavioral
activities - inclusion in the various patriotic movements created to redirect
the activity of a political personality in the educational channel, because
"the political sphere imploded. And democracy, what to eat, and yet
democracy, cannot disappear because it was fighting someone, and it suppressed,
but simply because voters no longer go to the polls » (Fadeev V.., 2007).
Thus, the socio-philosophical understanding of
creation and manipulation of the theoretical construct of a universal mechanism
for the manipulation of consciousness of personality, by which this
manipulation is carried out, becomes of paramount importance because it allows
not only reveal the universal mechanism of manipulation effects, but also
create ways of leveling, and in an ideal anti-this mechanism.
