Teenage fanaticism
The press is full of messages about how with the help of police, church leaders, parents, educators, and God knows who with great difficulty from the clutches of the sectarians had been torn regular teenager. On the picture - tear-stained face of his mother, emaciated figure of a teenager with a hunted look from under his brows. Wolf. He became a wolf among the people. And it is not the fact that his "brothers in faith" does not find him and take revenge for his betrayal. How can I avoid this? Specific recommendations here. it all depends on the family, bringing up a teenager from an emotional situation, how parents behave, and a lot of different factors can influence the yield to a teenager on the sweet talk or remain faithful to traditional views.
Only one thing is true for any of us - we never get away from people and from the place where we are well, where we love and wait. So, all that is required of us, parents - it's our child to create a warm cozy home, where they accept and love so he is clearly and definitely. And what a teenage fanaticism ? This kind of madness - any parent will tell you. And he will be right, whether it fanatstva football, or the passions of idol singers. Teenagers - a special category of people. They have - an enormous strength. But they are strong in the group. Young people are very highly developed herd instinct - as do all, be all. Just what do your supporters - right. Teens extremely intolerant to any kind of dissent. If you're not with us - it means you're against us. They are fanatics of their ideas and thoughts. What could be scarier than come across a dark night on the road with the crowd, even small teenagers?
Just a pack of stray dogs can compete with them. They attack all together, knocked off his feet, and no mercy from them do not wait. And what do the crowds of football fans after the match? It's just a horror! Beaten, twisted cars, smashed windows, burned-out skeletons of the street cafes. At Euro 2004, along with fans of the national team came more than three hundred police officers from Germany to help the Portuguese custody order. Eloquent, is not it? It is no secret that the main striking force of the speeches of anti-globalists are young people between the ages of fifteen to twenty-five years. This age group is most responsive to all sorts of extremist calls them enjoyable process itself, even destruction.
I will give a historical fact - the fifteenth-sixteenth centuries AD Turkish Janissaries series consisted entirely of men who were recruited exclusively from the boys in the age of three, and was educated in a spirit of complete adoration and devotion to the Sultan. Turkish Janissaries, Russian guardsmen, European monks, Jesuits - a very representative number of fanatics in various fields, from religion to martial arts. What prompts teens to seek their own kind, sometimes blowing in the winds? I think the lack of proper outlook on life, the lack of solid self-confidence, lack of personality, finally.
How to protect the child from the sect?
The Constitution guarantees each of us freedom of conscience - the freedom to practice the religion that best meets his spiritual needs. This situation gives the right to operate a variety of religious groups, they provided equal status, and impairment of their interests are not allowed. There is a kind of market, market of religions and faiths. Crafty dealers provide a growing demand for religion, making religion a "commodity" that meet the needs of those who have not traditional faiths. Like mushrooms after the rain began to grow a variety of religious groups, the founders of which aim to not report slovado minds afflicted adherents, and the complete and unquestioning obedience to his followers, until their complete ruin and impoverishment. And why should they material goods? Community to satisfy all the needs of its members, besides the adepts live modestly because luxuries declared a sin.
All told, however, does not apply to the founders of the community or sect. Now they're a live as they want. Why are based sect? Most often, for some illegal activities. Religious organizations to meet all the requirements of the criminal group, which, in fact, quite often, they are. Firstly, the head of the sect has in its subordination of an army of well-trained and loyal followers. Secondly, it is capable and has the ability to exercise total control over what do members of the sect, and can adjust their actions can change the world, the foundations of religiosity completely transform their moral bearings.
In general, one who is the founder of the cult, the Master, as such persons like to call themselves by creating a small army of his followers are absolutely correct, has an excellent opportunity for even his most radical ideas and plans. And it does not matter what kind of plans - whether personal enrichment, gain influence or power. In addition, religious organizations, if they are not engaged in commercial activities unrelated to religion, have significant tax benefits. That is, the head of the sect can create for themselves a small business empire, disguised as a religious organization.
What is the true reason that people have rushed headlong into non-traditional religions? Most likely, the reason lies in the crisis, which is long overdue in the spiritual realm. Traditional religions are not supported, do not have priority in them there full of discord and disorder, immorality of priests has become a byword. That there is only one scandal of pedophile priests! It is no wonder that people have lost confidence in the traditional church and began to seek consolation in various brotherhoods, communities, sects, because the human tendency to believe in a higher power was and still is. And it shamelessly brazen and unprincipled use sneak, announcing itself with new Messiahs, Sons of God, and so forth, and etc., etc. ...
Man is always looking for an object of worship - even our ancestors prayed to their gods and religion in general has enormous power over the human soul. Once we find something for which, we believe that best meets our aspirations, we recognize the power of the one who declared himself God. Real fount of new adherents of different sects are teenagers due to the peculiarities of his mind. By nature teens are part of the society, which has always protested against the accepted rules and norms. In their protest, they often go so far as to begin to deny traditional religious values, and then that fall into the hands of the sectarians.
We, parents, powerless to help our children avoid the unenviable fate of falling under the influence. We must from the outset not shoot children's individuality in favor of its notions of what should be our child. We can support him, no matter what path he chose himself, even if we would like for him to be desired. And yet. Even if your son or daughter come under bad influence, there is always room for maneuver, and return the child to the family to us quite a force. We must passionately want it, and to assure their child that, in any case, and whatever happens, he has a house, where his love and wait. And most importantly - your child should know that he has to return, and in this place waiting for his love and understanding.
