The_Mass_Society

The Mass Society Mills article, The Mass Society is describing that we are slowly losing our freedom. We can see this as when a famous speaker goes in front of an audience, he is told what to do like our president George Bush. He is like a political puppet, and is told what to wear, how to act, and what to say to influence and try to manipulate us. These are examples of the “power elite” which Mills states in his article who have strong effect on people in public. His main argument is how the public becomes slowly manipulated, dependent and powerless as a mass society of today. This means that there can be one power elite because the rest of society lets this happen. For example, people at the top that influence our lives in small ways have power and have a strong arm for it. If George gets a car ticket while driving, he can easily ask one of his friends to get rid of it, but if we get a ticket then we would have a rough time with it.
