It is noted that the communicative space of personality’s life in the modern world is filled with information flow, which needs to perceive consciously, critically evaluating its argumentation, revealing its real meaning, not trust a priori in its reliability, based only on a positive impression from the source of information.
It is concluded that the informational-communicative influence on a person in a society in essence is mainly manipulative and subject-objective by character; about the impossibility of adequate development and self-actualization of the person in conditions of permanent manipulation of the social environment.
It is stated that under such condition, a person – a successful manipulator can realize, develop and manifest his abilities more better and easier, while for a human who is not able to manipulate perfectly or does not want to use other people to achieve his own goals, this can become a problem.
