Studies have proven and continue to prove that public policy formation cannot be understood without a consistent theory of the capitalist state and politics. Expanding capital accumulation and increasing the validity of the entire mode of production seems to be the principal roles of the capitalist state, a role that is always tenacious. When Individuals battle their own cognitive dissonance with their tension in their understanding of political theory and capitalism, this poses a challenge to the state. This article aims to prove the educational strategies and positions taken to understand the challenges of capitalism on our everyday political situations. This article poses as a framework for educational policy framework and the mission it holds to create a set of hypotheses on the production rules of public policy are offered. As the article aims to portray these motivations, the influence that cognitive dissonance plays on the educational understanding of capitalism, and how it affects our behavior beyond just social sciences. Travel is the most simple and explicit example of how cognitive dissonance invades the humanist view of capitalism and affects our decisions on that specific topic. Studies will show the decision rates of influence on people who have been presented with options for travel, and how their views shift based on things that are offered to them. Capitalism in society will continue to influence our decisions, and social science research platforms work to prove that. According to Tanford and Montgomery, 2014, people will choose the LED-certified green resort over the non-LED certified resort because they are being marketed that it is better for the environment and themselves to stay at that resort, prior to reading reviews. However, Postdecisional dissonance and dissonance reduction tactics were measured after the fact, and the study reporter subjects were less likely to choose a green resort when a minority of reviews favored that resort. This shows how easily influenced people can be when they rely on the popular opinion of others, which displays cognitive dissonance. This relates to capitalism in our political scope because companies will profit on cognitive dissonance and influence to prey on people and our opinions to make money.
