Cialdini raamat
Here in company with his
age-mates he undergoes severe hazing by the adult males of the sociery. The initia-
tion begins when each boy runs the gauntlet between two rows of men who beat
him with clubs. At the end of this experience he is stripped of his clothes and his
hair is cut. He is next met by a man covered with lion manes and is seated upon a
stonefacing this "lion man." Someone then strikes himfrom behind and when he
turns his head to see who has struck him, his foreskin is seized and in two move-
ments cut off by the "lion man." AfteIWard he is secluded for three months in the
"yard of mysteries," where he can be seen onry by the initiated.
During the course of his initiation, the boy undergoes six major trials: beatings,
exposure to cold, thirst, eating of unsavory foods, punishment, and the threat of
death. On the slightest pretext, he may be beaten by one of the newry initiated men,
