The term, “Manufactured Consent,” of course, belongs to Chomsky, who places the emphasis of analysis on macro-analytic factors. However, if one were to completely understand the process through which the American false ideology - which can be summarized under the following slogan: “Spreading Freedom” - is reinforced and ingrained into the core of our misrepresentations of the world, then one would have to consider micro-analytic factors, as well. Michel Foucault is an excellent place to start, if one cares to begin to become cognizant of the particular practices performed by disciplinarians when rendering the population docile, conforming to tradition and prejudice, and ripe for exploitation.
