For instance, if a politician is pushing for legislation against climate change, then that politician would deliberately structure their speech to change the public’s mind to be in their favor.
Another example would be how propaganda is used to influence and shapes the wants and needs of the public. Advertisments can use manipulative tactics to influence and determine the desires and needs of the viewers, which gives the companies displaying the advertisements power. Voter identification laws benefit wealthy and white Americans, at the expense of poor and minority Americans.Īn example of Lukes’ third dimension is advertisements in the media. Mobilization bias set institutional procedures and rules that operate systematically to benefit certain groups at the expense of others. Voter identification laws prevent people with a low-income, and minorities from voting because they usually cannot afford to purchase an I.D. Currently, thirty-four states require identification for someone to vote, and seven of those states have very strict identification laws in place. In the past, some citizens had to pay a fee to vote in an election, which prevented poor people from voting. An example if mobilization bias would be current and past voting laws. Mobilization bias is also apart of the second dimension.
