this is quite a bad explation of this theoy. it's simple to the point of explaining the theory incorrectly.

good point. Α

Kinda ironic, isn't it?

[edit] Influence of Psychology

Psychology, in particular, communications theory, is heavily utilised in this webpage, but it appears this theory was political in origin. For example, it is simply wrong that the 'spiral of silence' is a "natural" part of evolution, this makes no sense in evolutionary psychology or political theory. I suggest that the pages be split into the Political page concerning the original idea, and the views of communications psychologists (an educated elite themselves), who wish to paint this phenomenon, as not only normal (which it explicitly is NOT), but as a product of evolution??????

[edit] Spiral of Absurdity

Why this "theory" has a place in an encyclopedia is beyond me. There seems to be no science whatever to back it up. The references seem themselves to be nothing more than opinion pieces (usually from the left side of the plate) rather than hard science.75.164.150.119 (talk) 17:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)dwargo
