In 1994 the U.S.-Republicans demonstrated how parties tend to manipulate people instead of standing for certain political thoughts: The Republican party contracted a consultant to find out the most-wanted topics of the U.S.-population, and afterwards the same consultant wrote a paper, called the Contract with America. Out of this, Republican Politicians all received a positive list of words they were told to use in speeches about themselves and a list of negative words for political competitors.
This kind of thought control plays with the issue that words with negative/positive connotations go deeper than neutral words. They get integrated into the listening person's way of thinking. Even if someone understands the strategy, it will still be difficult to forget the black-and-white-images, as soon as they have been listened to.

Is it art, is it a commercial or is it disinformation, when web-designers create a virtual model out of the so-called best parts of different top-models?

The idea of globalization undermines the fight for one world as it suggests that this one world, where all fight for the same ideals and belong together, has already come into existence. We should rather doubt that it ever will.
The disinformation in this case has worked so perfectly that in the meantime even the profoundest skeptics seem to no longer doubt the existence of globalization.
Globalization of course is a very important part of modern mass-media, too. They associate. Through globalization the access to the news gets easier. People cannot only watch the national news but also others. And this means an opening, one would think. But as the media tend to associate their reports as well, homogenization of the messages is the consequence; disinformation?
