The functioning of a nation as a whole is determined by its initial configuration. You only need to alter the initial stone of a society's foundation to establish a whole new infrastructure. Let me explain.
Every new form of human development at a societal level, starts with a new set of ideas brought about by a shift in leadership. This in turn brings the people into a new worldview.
Gatekeepers or key social leaders are the people who hold significant power to shape commonly accepted paradigms, contributing significantly to the formation of culture. They lay the first stone by imparting new knowledge to change mindsets and influence public practices. We behave towards the world as we perceive it, based on the knowledge we encountered.
The cornerstone laid by the gatekeepers serves as a guide for all subsequent "stones" that constitute the overall structure of society. They determine the course of things. Where the leadership goes, the nation also goes.
You have read this far, Iet me ask you something...
Who are the present gatekeepers influencing public perception?
In this article, I outlined the social process used by the ruling elite to control the general public into adopting their ideologies without having direct interaction with people. Let me know what you think.
