7. The author first starts talking about the different names of brainwashing and eventually goes into the concept of it. From there, he explains how someone might be brainwashing others through the small list he created, and then explains each through a very detailed analysis. Next he talks about the different mind control techniques which slightly vary from the ones for brainwashing. He also talks about the similarities and differences between being brainwashed and mind controlled and eventually ends his findings with a strong conclusion.

8. The claim that the author is making is to inform everyone how people are being brainwashed and how they brainwash others.

9. What the author states is very similiar if not the same to what i have heard about so i am persuaded by his treatment of the topic.

10. " It's best thought of as a series of techniques that are used over time to change a person's perception, cognition, emotions, decision making and behavior to such an extent that they have lost their freedom of choice."

First of all, it's a series of techniques, is not usually one single technique used but rather a multitude of things going on at the same time.

As with brainwashing techniques, the idea of mind control is to destroy the old identity and create a new one a [|pseudo-personality] , one that holds the beliefs, values and ideas of the manipulator.

This means that **the whole process of mind control can actually go much more quickly then when there is force and pain and suffering involved. **
