Mind Control
Mind Control
When an individual can control the thinking, behavior, emotions or decisions of another individual. The ability to have this control, the exact definition and the extent of its influence on the individual are heavily debated among psychologists, neuroscientists and sociologists. Mind control has been debated as a legal implication as well. It was an issue in the court case of Patty Hearst and also in several court cases regarding New Religious Movements. Subliminal advertising is thought of as an unproven method of mind control in which messages are relayed to the public by being hidden in broadcasted advertisements.
