Why do people join cults? How do cults hold power over their members? Each week we answer these questions by analyze a different cult. I will present a psychological theory and we will use this theory to analyze the cult. During our meetings, I will teach learners about a psychology theory & share the story of the cult. We will discuss the cult at the end of class. Here's our schedule. I will update the schedule each month. Week of February 10th: Cult Of Rajneesh Week of February 17th: Alien Reptile Cult Week of February 24th: John Frum Cargo Cult Week of March 3rd: Jonestown Cult Week of March 10th: Ant Hill Kids Cult Week of March 17th: Matamoros Cult

Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class focuses on cults. I will focus on the psychology behind cults, but I will not focus on graphic details of crimes committed by cults. For example, I may define a crime (such as homicide is where someone is killed by another person), but I will not give graphic details of the crime.
My focus is on the psychological research on cults.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
