Der Dressierte Nachwuchs by Michael Meyen

A critical analysis of how contemporary media, educational practices, and institutional messaging shape the attitudes and behavior of young people, arguing that news, entertainment and digital platforms often socialize children into conformity and passive consumption by narrowing perspectives and weakening critical thinking; the book traces mechanisms such as framing, repetition and standardized formats, illustrates effects on political and social opinions, and advocates stronger media literacy and democratic education to foster independent judgment.
