Alien Concept

If we were to go around asking people what image comes in front of them when they hear the word aliens, wouldnt it be interesting if 8 of 10 people spoke of monsters or weird creatures as has been often portrayed in movies (for those who profess to think differently - I will not argue. You belong to the 2 out of 10. )

It can be imagined that, off all the innumerable possiblities, there may be such creatures out there who may have evolved from being humans and they see us and if it's within their power, they do everything to make sure we never find out about them.These ultra super humans. Or if they are not so ultra super - they dread each time we come closer to them and can only hope for our failure. If we were to be introduced to this subject in this way in a regular and continuous manner using all forms of medium (in one word - hammered), very likely the same 8 people would consider the alien life to be an aspirational one and generate pictures of god-like figures instead of monsters.

What to say of this example, apart from the fact that it is a bad one.That conditioning is not so alien a concept after all as many people living their life in surity would like us to believe and ,to make it worse,make us follow.
