In psychology, the study of brainwashing, often referred to as thought reform, falls into the sphere of "social influence." Social influence happens every minute of every day. It's the collection of ways in which people can change other people's attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. For instance, the compliance method aims to produce a change in a person's behavior and is not concerned with his attitudes or beliefs. It's the "Just do it" approach. Persuasion, on the other hand, aims for a change in attitude, or "Do it because it'll make you feel good/happy/healthy/successful." The education method (which is called the "propaganda method" when you don't believe in what's being taught) goes for the social-influence gold, trying to affect a change in the person's beliefs, along the lines of "Do it because you know it's the right thing to do." Brainwashing is a severe form of social influence that combines all of these approaches to cause changes in someone's way of thinking without that person's consent and often against his will.
Because brainwashing is such an invasive form of influence, it requires the complete isolation and dependency of the subject, which is why you mostly hear of brainwashing occurring in prison camps or totalist cults. The agent (the brainwasher) must have complete control over the target (the brainwashee) so that sleep patterns, eating, using the bathroom and the fulfillment of other basic human needs depend on the will of the agent. In the brainwashing process, the agent systematically breaks down the target's identity to the point that it doesn't work anymore. The agent then replaces it with another set of behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that work in the target's current environment. |

FRA is my Star magazine.
I rarely post here anymore, just occasionally pop by and see what she has started on any given day. Today has been particularly funny. |

what are you going to do with Erik's account when you get banned? are you going to post under his nick? wouldn't that get him banned too? why would you threaten to do something that might punish him aswell. it wouldn't be us punishing him, it would be you putting him in a position that he would also have to take the blame |

If myles has said that erik won't be punished if you get banned then I'm sure there is a way of allowing him to use his account and not yours.
I'm sure he can also check if any other accounts are being used off that computer so that if you decide to come back if you get banned ps. note all the 'if's |
