hey welcome back and in today's video I saw online it was on a TED talks where
they said why do people join cults I watched it and it inspired me I felt
like I could get a my own little spin on that and I could feel like I could just
better describe it to you in a way that you would more enjoy so
why do people join cults all cults have about half a dozen recognizable
characteristics let's let's name a couple of those we have powerful and
exclusive dedication devotion to an explicit person or creed they use
thought to reform program or integrate socialize persuade and therefore
completely envelop the members a well-thought recruitment selection or
socialization process attempts to maintain psychological and physical
dependency among cult members Kol insists on reprogramming the way people
see the world consistent exploration of group members specifically to advance
the leaders goals the leader is usually very charismatic ultimately using
psychological and physical harm to they bring harm to the members eventually
those are the characteristics we know how to identify a cult but what just
what makes people want to join a cult it is good to point out that not all
cults are religious and but they do share a common purpose which is usually
gay grandeur very large it's supposed to be bigger than the person so cults have
the ability where they like to say that they can solve a problem in society that
has not yet been solved it could be abortion it could be a world hunger or
whatever it is it's usually very very large to life and they do promise to fix
it another reason is that it's right after a breakup they're feeling very
weak very emotional very acceptable to things that
especially if the person says that they can fix them they're they're all about
according to dr. Stanley h-cat the Tufts University School of Medicine meaning
people who join cults were raised in a family that attempted to teach them
Christianity Judaism or another formal religion and yet they rejected it these
people are not necessarily atheists but they refused to follow the family's
traditional beliefs because they felt there must be something better out there
so people that are against the norms they feel like what's what is working
for everyone around them and this social Dogma is just not working out for them
they would be more for the idea of joining a cult of course people that
feel lost they need a purpose in life there will be all about that people with
low self-esteem would be very very for that as well one of the many tactics that
cults used to recruit members is love-bombing this is a technique where
the members of the group are overly loving and complimentary so you ever
heard that saying criticisms worth more than compliments that it goes doubly
here for whatever reason women are more likely to join because nine times out of
ten the leader of a cult is very handsome and very charismatic and they
just had this way that they can pull people in people that want to be taken
care of now this goes back to the caveman days when we were naturally like
followers we were in groups and we always followed the leader a lot of the
leaders of Scientology has made their believers to believe that without them
the world's doomed so people will join if they're just trying to save the world
people that are just fed up with society like the hippies back in the day back in
the 60s and 70s they would lurk they were feeling lost they were feeling
rejected by the government so they were very easy to jump on different kinds of
cult listic ideas and here's another one they never knew it was called 99.9%
of all people in a cult don't know that they're in a cult that's that's a heck
of an accident so now that you know a little bit more of why people join cults
and how to easily recognize cult before you're unknowingly pulled
in I think it's about time that I hear from you have you ever been in a cult
have you ever almost been persuaded to being in a cult
