Humans are naturally information oriented, especially when a supposed higher authority calls the shot. The average human subconsciously reacts to a pathway, and applies whatever principles based on facts and conviction garnered.
A child is blank from birth which makes it easy to assimilate every information without necessarily having a choice to decline or accept. For every information received it is considered right until a superior information is passed across which either contradicts, broadens or outrightly dismiss the previous information shared. Ever wondered why cultism still thrives despite several anti cultism teachings? It is called RE-ORIETATION.
Re-orientation has it's uniqueness because of the recurrent evolving cycle. It simply entails that for every orientation there is a counter re-orientation on the subject as long as it is portrayed to be superior to the aforementioned.
For instance a person that is oriented to believe night life is bad, becomes stuck in that ideology until a superior information on how he misses out on clubbing, random sex and what have you. Subsequently the mind assimilates a new reason to believe night life is not bad as portrayed. It is automatically re-oriented. The same person could still be swayed by a newer information maybe on how instead of partying and clubbing, he or she could get a decent night paying job for extra income. The trick remains as long as the new information is processed as beneficial, re-orientation takes place.
Applying it to society, from prostitution to kidnapping, cultism, fraud, gambling, masturbation and whatever social ills. What is needed is a counter orientation laced with facts and pre-perceived benefits to change a narrative. Emphasis on PRE-PERCEIVED benefits. For re-orientation to take place, the newer information must be considered superior to the former.
