1) authority + passivity
(teach 'em not to think for themselves)
2) empty promises
(keep em running. employ 'carrot and stick')
3) divide & conquer
(kill their communities, take away their friends - better yet, have them do it to themselves)
4) the illusion of choice
(make them think they want/need these things and that they're being taken care of)
you'll have a totalitarian state in no time!
(disclaimer: i, of course, don't agree with any of these things. it was just that while i was writing my thesis today i made a list like this to clarify the points i was going to be making in this particular section of my paper and i thought it was interesting enough to share.)
p.s. it should be noted that all these were, and are, being practiced everyday, in the media industry, and especially the school.
