Social Engineering

Social Engineering is a rather ugly name for what is being done to by our rulers and by the people who control them. The question of what we want is ignored. So are ethics but not ethnics.

Social engineering (Political )
QUOTE
Social engineering is a discipline in the social sciences that refers to efforts to influence popular attitudes, social behaviors, and resource management on a large scale. Social Engineering is the application of the scientific method for social concern. Social Engineers use the methods of science to analyze and understand social systems, so as to arrive at appropriate decisions as scientists, and not as politicians. The major difference between politicians and social engineers is that scientists base decisions on careful evaluations and objectivity without differential advantage. In the political arena, the counterpart of social engineering is political engineering.

Decision-making can affect the safety and survival of literally billions of people. As expressed by German Sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies in his study The Present Problems of Social Structure,^[1] society can no longer operate successfully using outmoded methods of social management. To achieve the best outcomes, all conclusions and decisions must use the most advanced techniques and include reliable statistical data, which can be applied to a social system.^{[citation needed]} In other words, Social Engineering is a data-based scientific system used to develop a sustainable design so as to achieve the intelligent management of Earth’s resources with the highest levels of freedom, prosperity, and happiness within a population.

Social Engineering  (SE) is both incredibly complex and amazingly simple...... And like any science, social engineering can be used for different purposes. So whether you are in sales, politics, penetration testing, law enforcement or just want to improve your dealings with others, social engineering is for you.
