People Join Cults Because...

     When you think of someone that joins a cult, you automatically ask yourself why someone would do such a thing. In reality, one of the main reasons people join cults is because they feel accepted into a "family". Many individuals do not have that fairy tale loving family so they go out looking for something that comes close to it. In cults, people share the same believes which gives them acceptance they are looking for. This is the same reason why people join gangs. They all fall into the same category. Individuals are mainly looking for acceptance that they probably did not get at home.
