The truth and lies

If I called our educational system as a brainwashing movement, most of my colleagues in my term would not agree. "It is not that the connotations in the text book makes no sense at all."

Yes, indeed, to some extent, it makes sense. While my point is: the most harmful brainwashing is not telling lies, because once the lies are discovered, people will easily lose trust, but giving people one thing( no matter it is truth, a lie, or truth mixed up with lies, whatever.) and imparting to them that this is the only right thing. (Not mention to that the definition of “truth” can only made by one.)There is but only one step from truth to autocracy.

    The Truth and lies

    If I called our educational system as a brainwashing movement, most of my colleagues in my term would not agree: "It is not the case that the connotations in the textbook makes no sense at all.", they say. (remember 'makes' is 3PS!)

    Yes the concepts do make sense to some extent, yet my point is: the most harmful brainwashing is not through telling lies (because once the lies are discovered, the liars will easily lose trust) but by giving people one concept (no matter whether it is a truth, a lie, or a truth mixed up with lies etc.) and imparting to them that this is the only right concept (not mention to that the definition of “truth” can only made by individuals). There is but only one step from truth to autocracy.

    - watch that your sentences don't go too long. I've used brackets to help ease the text, but it is better if you reform that paragraph to use more full stops or semi-colons.
