Expatiate on any five factors that aid cultism in the school system

Answer Details

Five factors that aid cultism in the school system

  1. Peer group influence: Students are lured into cults by friends and classmates who pressure them to join in order to belong and be accepted.
  2. Weak school administration and poor discipline: Where school authorities fail to enforce rules, punish offenders or provide adequate security, cult groups thrive without fear.
  3. Desire for protection, power and recognition: Some students join cults believing membership will protect them from rivals and give them fear-inspiring power and status on campus.
  4. Poor parental care and bad home background: Broken homes, lack of moral training and neglect by parents push students to seek belonging and attention in cult groups.
  5. Search for wealth and undue advantage: Some students are drawn by the promise of money, examination favours, and the ability to intimidate others in order to gain material benefits.
  6. Erosion of moral and religious values: The decline of discipline, respect and sound moral upbringing in society makes students more willing to embrace violent and anti-social groups.
