If there is anything I have learned from this entire exercise, it is that there are excellent and useful ways to apply the methodologies we have studied, and people can also screw them up and manipulate them to do just about whatever they want. This author's accusations against the technique fall into the later category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-51834356207883340652010-04-21T22:18:29.835-04:002010-04-21T22:18:29.835-04:00I agree with Regis about the manipulation of a pop...I agree with Regis about the manipulation of a population with the Delphi technique as creating the illusion of a democracy. This is what the Oracle of Delphi probably was for the Greeks though. One person/group had an agenda, then interpreted the wisdom of the Oracle to support their need/want, and to make the population believe it was the wisest choice.The Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816291331799987240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-42401231273222950772010-04-21T10:56:23.349-04:002010-04-21T10:56:23.349-04:00I think the Delphi technique is very effective wit...I think the Delphi technique is very effective with teachers, schoolchildren and community meetings. Even if the authorities use manipulation in these cases, people rarely know that they are being manipulated, and it will be difficult for them to end the process.Narvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310676608890407871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-35739437622458186412010-04-19T11:16:06.836-04:002010-04-19T11:16:06.836-04:00This article has a very similar theme to an articl...This article has a very similar theme to an article I posted as well. It seems as though this technique is being used in ways to manipulate people in order to get a desired outcome while giving a population the illusion of a democratic conclusion.rmullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063682538362900421noreply@blogger.com
