'Bout this
//The starvation makes them weak, the emotional abuse makes them weak, the sleep deprivation makes them weak, but in the end its all just to make it a little easier to enforce their will on a kid through physical torture.//
I think it has more to do with making their minds more weak and pliable, to more easily facilitate the "behavior modification."
Also, in my opinion, this is why they cut the students off from all outside contact, including their family (especially the family) because its an important factor in the psychological breakdown needed to accomplish the desired modification .
I also think this is why the brutality is so prevalent. It increases the stress levels - which also helps with the kind of psychological reworking they are trying to accomplish.
This is why I keep going on about how important it is the media and others understand about the seminars; what they actually are; How they work and what they do to a persons mind.
I think all of the above takes place largely to facilitate the effectiveness of the seminars.
That, plus clearly, some of the staff are sadist, who enjoy their work a bit to much.
