Brave New WorldIn Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses multiple metaphors to represent how easy it is for other people to indoctrinate/be indoctrinated. He uses soma, spirituality, social classes, conditioning, consumerism, etc. in his book to represent the same things that indoctrinate us.

Kim II SungKim II Sung founded a group called “Kim II Sung Socialist Youth League”. Only kids below 15 can join. This group is led by the Workers Party Of Korea. The objective is to equip the young masses with the Juche ideas and train them into reliable successors to the revolutionary cause of Juche. Total members: 5 million

Kim II Sung: JucheIt translates as “self-reliance”, also referred as Kimilsungism. It is a political thesis formed by the former North Korean leader Kim II Sung. It states that the Korean masses are the masters of the country’s development.

Kim II Sung IndoctrinationHe brainwashes young people into thinking that North Korea is a very powerful country which is above every other country in the world. He also teaches them to hate capitalism and to love communism. They teach kids to love communism because that’s the type of government the country has. He also teaches them to follow his footsteps and to love him as a leader. If these kids were allowed more freedom, they would start questioning everything Kim II Sung and his people have been telling them.

Charlie Hebdo Attack 2 muslims (Chérif & Said Kouachi) killed 12 people: 8 journalists, 2 policemen, a caretaker, and a visitor.

The brothers were born in Paris. When they were young they were abandoned by their Algerian parents and were sent to a children’s home in Brittany. They were fostered by a local family in Rennes who had converted to Islam. After being sent to Paris again, they became involved in petty theft and drug-dealing.

Chérif served two periods in prison after being linked to an Islamist network which sent fighters to Iraq. He does not appear to have fought or received training. He was convicted again in 2006 of aiding and abetting a terrorist organisation. Since they were young, they would always be with the wrong crowd. They would hang out with the bad guys. They were part of many terrorist groups, and since then, they’ve been brainwashed into doing all these bad stuff to other people.

The brothers also belonged to previous generation of home-grown extremists. According to Chérif’s former lawyer they were being helped (Planning the Charlie Hebdo attack) by Salim Benghalem who is a principal organizer of ISIS in Syria. In 2010 Chérif was arrested and served another 6 months on remand on suspicion of belonging to jihadi group trying to spring a leader from jail.

After being released he disappeared and according to reports he was planning the Charlie Hebdo attack with help of his former jail cell bestie,his brother & al Qaeda.

Charlie Hebdo Attack ConclusionWe believe that since they were little kids they were brainwashed into loving and worshiping the muslim religion. Also, since there were no adult figures in their lives to stick around long enough to teach them right from wrong, they would just be taught the wrong stuff. When we're young, we’re vulnerable because we believe everything they tell us and if they repeat it long enough, it will stay in our heads.

Conclusion In conclusion, we’ve noticed that most of the cases are due to religion. We think that this is happening because they’re being indoctrinated into thinking that other religions are bad. Everyone has their own point of view and that’s difficult for us because we not always accept people different from us. Indoctrination is bad because we’re supposed to make our own choices and do what we want, but other people are indoctrinating us into doing things they like. We look like robots/clones doing the same things and thinking the same things. We need to stop letting other people control us.
