Internship at MHA

Thank God for the internship offer I received from the Ministry of Home Affairs. This is what I'll be doing during my holidays.

I've been asked, "What can you do when you graduate with a major in psychology and a minor in religious studies? Become a pastor and brainwash everyone?" I had a good laugh when I heard this comment. I'm no pastor, and psychologists do not brainwash people.

Here's a point of intersection between psychology and religious studies. Another would be the scientific study of religion.

Description:
Provide assistance to incumbent psychologists in open-source research in the field of counter terrorism which includes conducting a literature review in areas of the psychology of religious fundamentalism, cult psychology, the psychology of hate and mass violence, and the influence of the new media.
