Cults

Cults are organized groups that often share intense beliefs or practices revolving around a charismatic leader or a specific ideology. They often exhibit high levels of social control, demanding loyalty and conformity from members. Cults can isolate individuals from outside influences, leading to a strong sense of community but also potential psychological or emotional harm. They may use manipulation or coercive tactics to recruit and retain members. While some cults are benign in nature, others can engage in harmful practices, making the term often associated with danger or exploitation. Understanding cults involves recognizing their complex dynamics and impact on individuals and society.
