We have governments that purposely lie to us for “national security reasons” and news media outlets that have certain political standpoints and agendas. The media that one watches will ultimately reflect their political views for the rest of their life along with their surroundings. The information to which the public is exposed, its quality, and its effects on public opinion, perceptions, awareness, and policy is swayed and influenced by those with power and wealth in our capitalist society. This implies that people can use any information in a deceptive way to make people have certain views towards a topic, and in this case; Reefer Madness depicted marijuana as a menace and that everyone should stay away from it because it causes hallucinations, incurable insanity, and uncontrollable laughter. Some strategies used to keep awareness from growing about things are withholding information, isolating victims/witnesses, loyalty, denying responsibility, adding a positive in a negative situation in hopes of changing it, and by portraying misleading information to the public.

In his book "Class Counts", Erik Wright (1997) offers the following illustration about how two classes might have totally incompatible interests.

Shmoos have the ability to change themselves into anything necessary for human existence but not into luxury items. Even better, since the shmoos can multiply themselves an infinite number of times and desire only to serve humans, "in effect, the shmoo restores humanity to the Garden of Eden.”
