Brainwashing

Some who believe in the power of brainwashing think that people around them are trying to control their minds and their habits. For the many parts, the process of persuasion happens in a much more subtle way. It does not involve the ominous practices that many people associate with it into much more detail about what brainwashing is and how it can influence the subject's way of thinking.

What is Brainwashing?

In this relation, brainwashing is described as a technique of idea reform through social impact. This type of social influence is happening during the day to everyone, regardless of whether they recognize it or not. Social impact is the collection of methods that are used to change other people's behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs.

Brainwashing can end up being more of a social problem in severe form because these methods work at changing the way somebody thinks without the subject's approval.

For persuading to work effectively, the subject is going to go through total seclusion and dependency because of its intrusive impact on the subject. The brainwasher, or the agent, need to gain complete control .

This means that they should control the eating practices, sleeping patterns, and fulfilling the other human needs of the subject, and none of these actions can happen without the will of the agent.

The method of brainwashing is still up for dispute, whether it will work. A lot of psychologists hold the belief that it is possible to brainwash somebody as long as the right conditions are present. Even then, the entire process is not as extreme as it is presented in the media. There are likewise different meanings of brainwashing that make it harder to figure out the effects of brainwashing on the subject. A few of these meanings need to be some threat to the physical body of the subject, to consider brainwashing. Even the practices done by lots of extremist cults would not be regarded as fact brainwashing as no physical abuse happens if you follow this definition.

Other definitions of brainwashing will count on control and browbeating without physical force to get the change in the beliefs of the subjects. In any case, experts think that the effect of brainwashing, even under the perfect conditions, is just a brief term occurrence. They believe that the old personality of the subject is not removed with the practice; instead, it is put into hiding and will return when the new personality is not strengthened anymore.

Robert Jay Lifton created some intriguing ideas on brainwashing in the 1950s after he studied detainees of the Chinese and Korean War camps. During his observations, he identified.

This process started with attacks on the sense of self with the prisoner and then ended with an expected change in beliefs of the subject.

1. An attack on the personality of the subject

2. Requiring regret on the subject

3. Forcing the subject into self-betrayal

4. Reaching a breaking point
