'''Re-education''' is to [[education|educate]] again or anew so as to [[Political rehabilitation|rehabilitate]] or adapt to new situations. |
|||
'''Reeducation''' is the act of substituting subversive beliefs with those more favorable to a certain |
|||
party. It is often used for political purposes and may involve torture and other harsh incentives despite the implication that a [[progress]]ive learning process is taking place. |
|||
It has been used as a political term, particularly in [[Maoist]] regimes, especially following revolutions or successful suppression of counter revolution. The losers in the struggle are sent to work camps for [[indoctrination]] under the title of re–education. |
|||
Earlier known as [[brainwashing]], it was popularized in the [[Stanley Kubrick]] film ''[[Clockwork Orange]]''. |
|||
Re-education is a term with considerable sinister meaning. Under the [[Khmer Rouge]] in [[Cambodia]], "re-education" generally meant death in [[the killing fields]]. The [[brainwashing]] torture in [[George Orwell|Orwell]]'s ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984]]'', though not referred to as such, is another example of "re-education" in the sinister, political sense. |
