Answer
Social control was the central theme of Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man." He argued that advanced industrial societies had developed sophisticated methods of control that extended beyond physical coercion to manipulate people's thoughts, desires, and aspirations. This control, he believed, prevented individuals from developing critical thinking and genuine freedom, leading to a society where people were content with their oppression.
