 | | Among the most important tools for using ideology for Social Control are the school system (attendance at which is compulsory), religion, and mass media. | | | There is a great imbalance in the strength of mechanisms of social control and integration across different frames: while the nation-state is currently the main agent for social control, it is powerless to deal with rogue states like the USA, and stronger means of social control, especially democratisation, is needed at the international level. | | | The agents of social control and integration may be: the state, the family or institutions of civil society. |

| | Mind control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While mind control remains a controversial subject, the principal possibility of influences on individuals by methods like advertising, media manipulation, propaganda, group dynamics, or peer pressure has been well researched in social psychology and is today undisputed. | | | I conceive of mind control as a phenomena encompassing all the ways in which personal, social and institutional forces are exerted to induce compliance, conformity, belief, attitude, and value change in others. | | | While in science of religion the majority of scholars reject mind control (e.g., Massimo Introvigne and J. |

| | The Primary Ministry of the Church |
| | The gospel of social revolution is superceding the New Testament Gospel of redemption. | | | The "gospel" being advanced by those who stress the social action activity of the church, is a preoccupation with getting a fair deal in this life. | | | The Conference this year entered into discussion on items of less significance such as gun control, disarmament, the frequency of Conference, etc. The singing was good; the general spirit of the meeting was good; but the differences between the evangelical and the liberal understandings of the faith were frequently evident. |

| | The Social Gospel |
| | Regardless of whether or not we believe in the acceptance of a caring God who is ultimately in control of the world, it is through the Social Gospel that we are permitted, even called, to participate in behavior that might one day truly manifest some sort of heaven on earth. | | | Rauschenbusch, Walter, The Social Gospel, 1908, cited from www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/rausch-socialgospel.html. | | | In brief, the Social Gospel might best be defined as the antithesis to the culture of distributive injustice culminating in what financial giant Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) called The Gospel of Wealth in his 1889 essay by the same title. |

| | The social hierarchy was said to be "good" because "ordained by God" and, by analogy with the overarching hierarchy of the Created Universe with the all-powerful God in control. | | | In the Middle Ages the notions or ideas that legitimated the social order were religious ones (religious values are not insignificant today, but they are not as important as "secular" ideas such as "democracy", and so on). | | | Conversely, anyone attempting to change social relationships, or doing things that resulted in a threat to change them, was acting contrary to the will of God, and in an unloving, or "hateful" manner. |

| | Mind Control/Brainwashing/Thought Reform Exists |
| | Thought reform programs rely on organized peer pressure, the development of bonds between the leader or trainer and the followers, the control of communication, and the use of a variety of influence techniques. | | | The current effort by cult apologists to deny thought reform exists is linked to earlier protective stances toward cults in which apologists attempted to deny the cults' active and deceptive recruitment practices, deny the massive social, psychological, financial, spiritual and other controls wielded by cult leaders and thus dismiss their often destructive consequences. | | | However, thought reform programs can be distinguished from other social influence efforts because of their totalistic scope and their sequenced phases aimed at destabilizing participants' sense of self, sense of reality, and values. |
