C. G. Jung:

Every Roman was surrounded by slaves. The slave and his psychology flooded ancient Italy, and every Roman became inwardly, and of course unwittingly, a slave. Because living constantly in the atmosphere of slaves, the became infected through the unconscious with their psychology. No one can shield himself from such an influence.

(Contributions to Analytical Psychology, London, 1928).

(Understanding Media, The Extensions of Man, 1964)
