probably yes but when you grow up you can evaluate this information, media brainwashing is totally different to what parents tell their kids, media brainwahing usually have no morals and mostly it's aimed at turning people into consumers.

How do we evaluate when we grow up?
We grow with the Same brainwashing dont we?
Our friends could be brainwashing us our parents could be brainwashing us our media could be brainwashing us.
So are We ONLY brainwashed beings?Programmed to think in a particular way?

The dictionary defines brainwashing as a controlled and systematic altering of beliefs and attitudes...with repetition being a commonly employed methd.
"All"??? I wouldn't say that "all" of education is considered brainwashing. That would be an extreme. Would things that are proven by nature/scientific reasoning and investigation be considered as brainwashing?
Biases held by educators..and even be parents...can account for brainwashing.
Values instilled in childhood can be considered as "brainwashing." But parents will oversimplify values as for children because it's hard for little ones to grasp realistic exceptions. For example....a parent may tell a child that "lying or stealing is bad". As you grow older, you learn that things are not always black or white.

How do we evaluate when we grow up?
**Your abilities to reason and take into account various angles to a situation...improve as you grow older. You evaluate through experience, trial and error.
** We grow with the Same brainwashing dont we?
*Same brainwashing? No...not necessarily. Peoples' experiences are different. This includes upbringing, education, culture, interactions with others, etc. *
So are We ONLY brainwashed beings?Programmed to think in a particular way?
To me "brainwashed beings" kind of implies that we're mindless robots...that don't have the ability to think. Yes, your friends/family/upbringing/the media influence you......but you have the ability to evaluate information and think critically about it.
Re: Brainwashing
The way you evaluate information coems from media/family/education/society etc
so again is it brainwashing.
I am sooooooooo confused abt the usage of this word.
