Establish the rules of the cult. Where will this cult live? How will you recruit followers? Why should we join?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Find a story about a cult (news article, memoir, short film, interview, anything) and summarize it. Next, describe the steps you could take to avoid being enlisted in this cult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Select one article from <a href=\"https:\/\/cultrecovery101.com\/cult-recovery-readings\/\">Cult Recovery 101<\/a>, summarize it and let us know what you learned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Replies to classmates: See what your classmates have posted and respond to them.
