    Judging from my experience traveling around the world, due to the job I have, I must say, sorry, the USA’s social environment system is one of the most manipulative and forceful, and is designed for the mass control to desired destinations.

    The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, shrink, or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.
