Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2019-20/Truth in cults

Introduction Data or facts about cults why are the 2 disciplines linked to cults Outline where the interdisciplinary issue actually is Why is it interesting to work on this INSTRUCTIONS: How the issue chosen plays out in 2 disciplines facing a topic Showing how truth plays a role in 2 disciplines (for ex ; sociology, law, religious) creating a tension in the definition of cults The tension between the disciplines specifically with regard to global surveillance/censorship In Sociology In sociology, this definition of cults is considered as true : « Cults are organizations or groups of people reunited under a charismatic leader, where members are under psychological influence, and exploited, either financially, sexually or any other type of exploitation » In Law In law, a cult is considered as valid if it is « a group of individuals with some common religious or metaphysical-philosophical ideology » simply. In Psychology Psychology’s view on cults differs, again, underlining there is a clash between disciplines, which makes interdisciplinary work on cults difficult. In Religious studies Religion studies also considers « true » other characteristics of a cult. In Religious Study, what is true is that « Cult + time = Religion » Conclusion What is therefore true about cults and what is not ? How can the multiple definitions of cults in plural disciplines makes this interdisciplinary work challenging ?
