Hidden Layers

As a person that does not like to be told one thing that actually means something else, I thought hidden layers would be an interesting one for me to write about.  I have lived in a house hold of just girls, and not saying anything bad about girls, there is nothing worst when they say one thing and mean another.  I believe what is felt is what should be said.  But at an argumentative point hidden messages are important.  During World War 2 for example, Hitler would not have been as effective if he did not uses this.  Specifically his propaganda was about how good it would be in the world if he was leader.  But Hitler did not specifically say how he was going to achieve this.  If he would have told his people he was going to kill millions of Jewish people I do not believe it would have been as it is. 

            I believe that personal taste disguise is one of the best disguises used today.  A reason I like most of the music I do is because I can relate some point in my life to it.  Although this is really effective the problem is that it requires for that person to actually have experienced something.  If they have not experienced a similar feeling, they have no way to connect.  For example someone that has not been through a very traumatic event would not relate to a P.T.S.D commercial. 

            I also thought spin was very interesting.  I feel like this is not a very common thing that people notice in our age.  As kids our parents often shield us from obviously inappropriate things that we did not need to know at the time.  This was probably the best ideal I could think.  It is hard to notice it then but now that I look back I see that a lot of the time they told me something they used spin to get a better outlook.  Like when my dog died my mother did not point out the obvious negative, such as I would never see him, instead she told me he went to a better place.  Although this is reasonable I do feel this is a example of spin.
