The Unitarian Universal Church that I went to was in Lexington. The building was the classic old white church with a steeple. In front of the building was a park, to the right side was the graveyard associated with the church, and in the back was parking. The church was along a semi-busy road. The building from the outside looked like a classic church with white wood with a steeple. On the inside entryway, it looked like a house in a way because it had normal looking red carpeted stairs on both…

The “whys of conformity” demonstrate why the Church of Scientology has been so successful in gaining new members and keeping indoctrinated members. Specifically, they help explain why people are motivated to conform to the church’s ideals. The group locomotive hypothesis, consistency theory, and the hedonistic hypothesis provide reasoning to understand how the church gains and keeps its members. I will examine how each of these theories/hypotheses play a role in “Going Clear”. The group…
