Brainwashing is diverse. I will give you only few examples: Main tool for brainwashing is television. People are hooked to that as on a psychotropic drug. Some people have it all wake time on. That means that the sound of television broadcast is always present, and they take a look at the screen when they like. People would still go around their chores in the house, but television accompanies them with sound. If there are interesting programs, like movies or news, people would watch attentively. Others would have television on at home, radio in the car and headphones with music at work. This would be very common in civilized cultures. Many people would be less hooked on television, but they would still see programs of their interest plus news. Television helps people in civilized countries help somewhat with loneliness. Even in families who watch television together, or who are present together in the house while television is on, television often replaces person to person communication. Many people hooked on television would feel much discomfort without television, mostly first days, this would feel much like a withdrawal of a psychiatric drug, but with milder physiological symptoms.
The content of television broadcasts is promoting violence, aggression, psychological depression, fear, financial panic, xenophobia, patriotism, sense of lack, sense of being poor, desire for material gain, desire for new material goods and services, dependence on medicine and drugs, rage, jealousy, sexual desire of better mates and fear of sex, desire of war, desire to be normal and to fit in the system, criminal behaviors, mistrust in people, individualism, tolerance to images of death and violence, lack of compassion and so on.
Other examples of brainwashing are in radio, printed media such as magazines and newspapers, all forms of education and upbringing, various religious education and activities, science education, group meetings at work, political campaigns, all sorts of advertising, activity of sales people, ads on streets and products, packaging of goods, in-person brainwashing by peers and so on.
