"stroking"

In fast food nation Scholessor mentions  in the chapter “behind the counter’’  page 74 explains how managers are  “stroking” there employess  . stroking is used in this term as to reassure the employess that there doing a great job . making the employess feel even thought there getting paid minium wage they are being ecnoknowlege for there great work and they can t be replaced. This keeps the employess motivated and positive about the situation . its also a corrupted way to eat into the mind of the employee without  involing money into the situation or imposeing an illegal form.
 This method of “stroking” was used in speech of  peter lowe “success authority “  when he  states how far you can come with a small business  and move forward. It wants to help people achieve success irrespective of their different backgrounds and nationality. He wants people to push and believe that anything is possible if you keep moving forward  He relates himself tto the audience  which make the audience believe they too can achieve great .

shock doctrine

shock doctrine  from wiki
 the definition of shock doctrine original definition The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a 2007 book by Canadian author Naomi Klein, and is the basis of a 2009 documentary by the same name.[1]
The book argues that the free market policies of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman have risen to prominence in some countries because they were pushed through while the citizens were reacting to disasters or upheavals. It is implied that some man-made crises, such as the Falklands war, may have been created with the intention of being able to push through these unpopular reforms in their wake.
  begins with a chapter on psychiatric shock therapy and the covert experiments conducted by the psychiatrist Ewen Cameron in collusion with the Central Intelligence Agency: how it was partially successful in distorting and regressing patients' original personality, but ineffectual in developing a better personality to replace it. Parallels with economic shock therapy are made, including a digression on how government agencies harnessed some of the lessons learned to create more effective torture techniques. Torture, according to Klein, has often been an essential tool for authorities who have implemented aggressive free market reforms – this assertion is stressed throughout the book

My  definition of the shock doctrine was a handbook. years ago people used electric objects to shock people and put them in child like stages .the idea was to make people vonavreble to follow and depend on leaders to protect them . when people are a a stage of shock and panic its easier to pursue them into things they wouldnt do. now the "shock doctrine" has a new method with electricity. the method that political leaders and those in charge take advantage of crisis for example  the tsunami , earth quakes wars . leaders use these terrible incidents to push policies that they would know people that are not in the state of shock would e support or follow . Milton freedman was known for this specific   movement . this was also called as a secrete "free market " which was to speak about policies and imply  new laws.
