Manson was connected to the brutal slayings of actress Sharon Tate and other Hollywood residents, but he was never actually found guilty of committing the murders himself. The Manson Family is thought to have carried out 35 killings but, most were never tried due to lack of evidence or perpetrators were already sentenced to life for the Tate/La Bianca killings.
This is comparable to Charles Manson's situation in that he, too, was able to empower his followers.

the church or center of which they approach to worship or expand their beliefs must have a hierarchy of power or an equal system where the leader's earthly power is limited. These said followers must also have certain undoubted rights in their respective groups, such as the power to leave or join the group as they choose, or offer as little or as many resources as the feel.

The Holy Ghost People by Peter Adair, was created in 1967. It exposes people of the Pentecostal religion, and their unusual rituals and ceremonies that they partake in. While watching the movie I kept on wondering why someone would want to sit through one of their services and participate in such odd rituals and behaviors. After reviewing the sociological theories we have learned in class, I concluded that Durkheim’s Social Consensus theory and Collins Interaction Ritual Chains theory both best explain the motivations for joining and staying in a religion that has such unusual rituals and extreme commitments.
He then got involved in the hippie movement and claimed to be a guru. He moved into an apartment with Mary Brunner who was a 23 old student and got her to bring other women to live with them. Soon 18 other woman joined and this was the beginning of the cult.
