5. People who have depended entirely upon their childhood beliefs are afraid of the world,

and cling to the very exact words used by their childhood religious leaders, and don't usually question one bit of it, don't think they can question it without being lost forever. I have seen so many people like that, people who don't trust anyone but the environment they grew up in, and the offsprings of that world.

The leaders, the political, religious ones seem to carry the authority they feel obliged to obey.

In cultures where you can keep education out of reach for the poor, you can continue their bondage perpetually. That's why the oligarchs will do EVERYTHING they can to keep things just as they are, even hiring mercenaries to terrorize and slaughter the ones among the poor who dare encourage their fellow people they have to fight for their lives in order to live.
