cults

I read a section of this book called “cults” by Karen Zeinert. It tells you about the many cults that have been and still are going on today. Many people are afraid of cults, think they are evil. Some think they are just have different views from other people and are misunderstood and bring diverse people to America. Either way, it is a very sensitive issue and gets people talking. The stereotypical cult is involves brainwashing, some sort of sexual abuse, and weird belief often resulting in death. Such as groups called Waco, the Charles Manson followers and Jeffery Lundgren groups to name a few. But there are “good” cults. By definition (according to the book) is a certain group that has a belief(s) and has followers and (a) leader(s). So, basically, a lot of things are cults. Like big religious groups or certain government. Most think it’s a group that they think is wrong, and small amount of individuals. There are many definitions of a cult, and it’s pretty much up to you. I think people feel the need to belong, so will join. And some like to have power, and drives them to start cults. It’s to spread out what they belief in witch is both good and bad.
