Brainwashing -making someone adopt radically different beliefs using systematic and forcible pressure.
Brainwashing is basically the process where someone will be connive to abandon believes that they had in the past in order to take new beliefs and values.
During the practice of brainwashing , the subject will be convinced to change their beliefs, about something through combination of different tactics. For most part the subject will be separated from other people and things that they know . And telling the subject that what they already know was false.
From there, they will be broken down into an emotional state that makes them vulnerable before the new ideals , concepts and systematic beliefs of the organisation are introduced. As the subject absorbs this new information they will be rewarded for expressing the ideas and thoughts which go along the new ideals.Rewarding them would further reinforce the ideals that were introduced.
The process of brainwashing is not something that is just going to just happen to you when you walk down in the street and talk to someone that you just have met.
One of the requirements that comes with brainwashing being successful is that the subject must be kept in isolation or with the people whom had the same ideals as the one they are introducing to the subject.So that the subject's mind set would be conditioned to adapt to the ideals and systematic believes that they are introducing. And those people would convince the subject that what s/he have done and beliefs before are all lies .These would make the subject feel bad and guilt will overwhelm them.
After months or years going through this .The agent would be starting to lead them to the new belief system and identity that is desired . The subject will be led to believe that the new choices are their own and so that its more likely to stick on their mind.
This mind control technique were often used by some of the terrorists groups and groups who are opposing the governments. They use this techniques to recruit their members who would be the ones that are on the field.
I wrote this article basing on the topic we had before when i was still in college. We discussed this topic in one of my subjects in criminology. HOPING that you would like it.
Critics and suggestions are much appreciated๐๐๐๐ for improvement.
