Mind poison in our society

What comes into your when you saw the caption "mind poison".
Literally it is a poison of the mind meaning that the poison are things like data or information blended or mixed with other relevant and needed information that are capable of causing harm to our mind.
From this definition you will understand that mind poison are some information that are like green snake on a green grass not to over emphasize that point.
The mind is a very power thing in every humans life because it creates you from what you have in your head by choosing information's what you believe as minded and matters and what you don't believe as not minded and does not matter.
Think of when someones mind is poison to believe that he/she can't be successful without education or you can only become a sensible man or woman when you have sex.
Well mind poisoning lies on many angles it depends where it is coming from.
As there is biological and artificial poison, I will say mind poisoning can affect one through the social and peers influence without anyone pushing just you and your thoughts from environmental interaction which influence you mind

I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and
philosophy. -- Jim Rohn, personal development expert, speaker, and author

or intentionally done by someone by using doubts of things you formally think is true and fear of failure.

The monsters of the mind are far worse than those that actually exist. Fear, doubt, and hate have hamstrung more people than beasts ever have. -- Christopher Paolini, author

To be frank enough I got inspired to write on this topic because of the political issues in my country, how the political parties fight against themselves by poisoning the mind of citizen over their opponents using rumors on the media like radio and television but mostly the social media like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Snapchat etc. For a example; How politicians now use Youtube ads to campaign get me crazy because they don't just campaign but criticize their opponents which should not be accepted on YouTube. Now this little ads are
Poisoning the mind of people using YouTube in the location that ads is meant for, and can cause chaos in that place.

In this modern days, some fantastic stories, newspapers, videos like movies somehow creep in mind poison. For a example Even this my example won't go well with some people but I have to reveal this: what is it?
If you observe well on 2018
Bollywood movies and some other country movies you will see that they portraying gay sex as a positive characters now consider your young ones viewing this movies with you and coming across this scenes that is passing such message without you evening noticing it on time.
Well, relating it to how it affects mindset of our young ones over some things which will create vacancy for them to justify evil and bad things their environment.
In prevention I would have like to write that Government should punish and regulate the media over material that can poison the mind but they sometimes promote this things in other to achieve some of their selfish goal.
I will say that the prevention of mind poison lies on the shoulders of families. Parents and guardians it is your responsibility to guide and teach children what you think is right for them and raised them be good people and citizens of the nation.
