Les dix stratégies de manipulation de masses Les dix stratégies de manipulation de masses PRESSENZA Boston, 21/09/10 Noam Chomsky Le linguiste nord-américain Noam Chomsky a élaboré une liste des « Dix Stratégies de Manipulation » à travers les média.

Issues are like fractals - cut them down and they are still as complex as the 'big picture'. Get down to real detail and the politics of your town, village or street are as byzantine as those of the UN Security Council. That is no excuse for communicating complexity. Complexity demotivates, it makes people feel confused - and if they feel confused, they will think you are confused, and not worth listening to. In German there is an expression 'the red thread' - meaning the important line that runs through a complex picture, place or process. Stick at each stage until it is achieved. Plan a campaign as a series of steps where one leads to the next - like dominoes. Here is the example of the Brent Spar campaign by Greenpeace.

Create Multimedia History Presentations With Digital Artifacts The National Archives Experience Digital Vaults is one of the resources that I almost always share in my workshop on teaching history with technology primary sources. The Digital Vaults offers three good tools that students and teachers can use to create content using images and documents from the National Archives. The National Archives Digital Vault poster and video creation tools allow students to drag and drop digital artifacts into a poster or video. The National Archives provides images, documents, and audio in an easy to use editor. Creating a video is just as easy as creating a poster in the Digital Vaults. Applications for Education The Pathways tool in the Digital Vaults can be used to create small quizzes that ask students to identify the connections between two or more images or documents. Please note that the Digital Vaults website loads a lot of media when you visit it for the first time.
