==Description==

==Description==

'''Indoctrination''' is the [[process]] of inculcating [[ideas]], [[attitudes]], [[cognitive]] [[strategies]] or a [[professional]] [[methodology]] (see doctrine). It is often distinguished from [[education]] by the [[fact]] that the indoctrinated [[person]] is expected not to question or [[critical]]ly [[examine]] the [[doctrine]] they have learned. As such it is used pejoratively, often in the [[context]] of [[political]] [[opinions]], [[theology]] or religious [[dogma]]. Instruction in the basic principles of [[science]], in particular, can not properly be called indoctrination, in the sense that the [[fundamental]] principles of [[science]] call for critical [[self-evaluation]] and [[skeptical]] scrutiny of one's own [[ideas]], a stance outside any [[doctrine]]. In [[practice]], however, a certain level of non-rational indoctrination, usually seen as miseducative, is invariably present. The term is closely linked to [[socialization]]; in common [[discourse]], indoctrination is often associated with [[negative]] connotations, while socialization refers to cultural or [[educational]] learning.

==Religious indoctrination==

==Religious indoctrination==

[[Religious]] indoctrination, the [[original]] sense of indoctrination, refers to a [[process]] of imparting [[doctrine]] in a non-critical way, as in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechism catechism] Most religious groups among the [[revealed]] [[religions]] instruct new members in the principles of the religion; this is now not usually referred to as indoctrination by the religions themselves, because of the negative connotations the word has acquired. Mystery religions require a period of indoctrination before granting [[access]] to [[esoteric]] [[knowledge]].

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky Noam Chomsky] remarks, "For those who [[stubborn]]ly seek [[freedom]], there can be no more urgent task than to come to [[understand]] the [[mechanisms]] and [[practices]] of indoctrination. These are easy to [[perceive]] in the [[totalitarian]] [[societies]], much less so in the [[system]] of '[[brainwashing]] under [[freedom]]' to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments."
