reeducations
Forced belief corrections
Reeducations are instances of reeducating—teaching someone to think or behave differently, often by replacing existing beliefs or habits.
The term carries sinister connotations from its use by totalitarian regimes: Dissidents were sent to reeducation camps.
In neutral contexts, it can simply mean retraining: The workforce required reeducation after the technology shift.
