In this paper on "Power, Authority, Politics", we will talk about the role of media, communication and manipulation within communication. Communication is an integral part of society and we can look at language as a product of social activity. In addition to the main function of communication as a transfer of information, the use of manipulation occurs. Manipulation is daily present in society and it affects the cognitive intelligence of a person - under which our ability to conclude, analyze, and notice things. Teun Van Dijk offers three types of manipulation definitions: Socially - in the context of society, we can say that manipulation is defined as non-dominant dominance that confirms social inequality, cognitive-cognizance, manipulation as mind control involves mixing in processes of understanding, forming biased models and social views such as knowledge and ideology, and discourse - manipulation involves the usual forms of ideological discourse, emphasizing our good faces and highlighting their bad sides. [1] It is important to note the difference between manipulation and persuasion. While it is sometimes difficult to notice the difference, it is about the position of the person to whom the information is transmitted - it can decide itself how to react, whether to believe or react in such a way. We will talk about manipulation through language, the media and the influence of color through authority and politics.
