The Century of Self

This is a real good documentary to help clue you into how we got to where we are today. It is an Adam Curtis special illustrating how psychology, pubic relations, and the Sigmund Freud family captured and channeled mass consciousness. As a Christian, I see this totally playing into the prophesied "falling away".  As the Freudian influence on psychology waned, a new individualism took hold and was viewed as a means of further prompting demand for products. This began to play apart in the politics of the '80s, so I don't want the mention of Reagan to make all you Ron Reagan fans freak, as I find it a fascinating way to look at recent history with a fresh understanding. A word of warning  -the '60s part of the show is pretty icky as you can imagine. Anyway, you don't hear this at school or anywhere else.
