________ is faith!
After reading this book, you will find that Cultish is probably the most spoken language in the world.
If you are an "individual", this book reminds you to be vigilant; if you are a community operator, this book teaches you how to arouse fanaticism.
Every once in a while, we hear stories about "cults", such as the Aum Shinrikyo, which released sarin gas in the Tokyo subway in 1995, and the "People's Church", which forced nearly a thousand people to commit suicide in Jonestown, South America in 1978. Temple", and the recent "In the Name of God: Betrayal of Faith" also aroused public outrage. On the one hand, we are angry with what these organizations have done, and on the other hand, we are a little curious-how do they attract so many "believers"?
Amanda. Amanda Montell regards the word "cult", which is sometimes translated as "paganism" and sometimes "cult" as a common phenomenon in society. "Cult" is not only in the field of religion. Sometimes people are obsessed with a specific brand, persuaded to join a direct selling company, or even sports, all of which may have "cult" elements.
These "pagan" religious and non-religious events have much in common, and this book will focus on the use of language in them. For example, create new vocabulary so that "believers" can distinguish people/me. Once you understand these languages, you will find that there are language traps around you, and there are calls to "teach" you everywhere.
Author Amanda. Monteil has a background in linguistics and has worked in fashion magazines for many years. Starting from her rich life experience and actual interviews, using language as the starting point, humorously and in-depth discussions of various degrees of "paganism".
Each part of the book focuses on a type of paganism, exploring the pagan language that pervades our everyday lives. The first part clarifies that paganism is actually everywhere; the second part explores "suicide heresy" (such as Jonestown, Heaven's Gate); the third part focuses on controversial religions (such as Scientology, Son of God, etc.); the fourth to sixth parts Extending the definition of Paganism, Paganism exists around you and me. First, it is a multi-level marketing company, then comes to the "Paganism Fitness" studio, and finally studies the masters (KOL) on social media. As a marketing strategy, Paganism seems to be very effective.
After reading this, you may feel that "paganism is good or bad" or "being deceived is stupid", but this is not the main purpose of this book. From different types of paganism, we can discover the infinite magic power of language. If it is small, it will be tricked by speech, and if it is serious, one day you will believe in __________.
In today's age of deceit, identifying the essence of a speaker's words is a skill that must evolve with the times. This book provides many interesting and practical perspectives, and practice critical thinking while reading the stories.
