Cults: The Wave
The movie “The Wave” was about a history class starting to learn about Hitler, the Nazis
and what they were doing to Jews. The students in the class were affected by the video so the
teacher decided to construct an experiment on the students to see how they would react. The
experiment was to apply more discipline to the classroom environment and the student reacted
to this very well. Each day in class the teacher would add on different aspects to the class for
example the class now had a group name called The Wave, a hand shake, and rules they were
slowly becoming a group manipulated by what their “leader” was telling them.
