It almost seems as if Bernays is stating that we as a society require the propaganda from people of higher authority. He seems to say that as a society, we are easily molded and crafted by the words of someone else and those words create order out of chaos for us. I agree with this ideology to a certain extent. On the flip side of Bernays, Lippmann's contrasting idea is that groups within a society are natural resistant to outside influences because those groups have created rules and norms that govern them and create order out of chaos. One theory comes from an external source, while the other theory comes from an internal source. Both are valid to a certain degree in my opinion.

Interesting observations. As we get into Bernays, we'll discover quite a bit overlap, I think.
