indoctrination

Examples of indoctrination in the following topics:

• School

  • Although this aim is stated in the formal curriculum, it is mainly achieved through "the hidden curriculum", a subtler, but nonetheless powerful, indoctrination of the norms and values of the wider society.

• Social Control

  • Some may consider this type of socialization a form of indoctrination.

• Informal Social Control

  • Individuals internalize the values of their society, whether conscious or not of this indoctrination.

• Women and Church Governance

  • While they constituted the majority of converts and participants, women were not formally indoctrinated and did not hold leading ministerial positions.

• Cult

  • Specific factors in cult behavior are said to include manipulative and authoritarian mind control over members, communal and totalistic organization, aggressive proselytizing, systematic programs of indoctrination, and perpetuation in middle-class communities.

• Homefront Security

  • The CAP cadets assisted with operational tasks and began indoctrination and training towards becoming licensed pilots.

• Bureaucratization of Schools

  • Immigration trends have posed serious concerns for public school education systems because immigrants often bring religious, ethnic, and cultural differences to the classroom that differ from the protocol and ideology of "one best system. " School bureaucracies seek to assimilate foreigners by teaching them English, indoctrinating them in American civics, and providing them with skills and habits needed in the urban job market.

• Personal ethics: four ethical approaches

  • Our schools can provide, "essential moral education" without indoctrinating young people or violating the First Amendment's prohibition of establishing religion.
