1. Cognitive Dissonance: It's like having a mental conflict when you hold two contradictory beliefs or attitudes at the same time. It's that feeling of discomfort when your thoughts and actions don't align, making you feel a bit confused or conflicted.

2. Doublethink: Imagine being able to hold two completely opposite beliefs in your mind and accepting both of them as true. It's like convincing yourself that black is white and up is down. It's a concept from George Orwell's novel 1984, where people are manipulated into accepting contradictory ideas without questioning them.

3. Herd Mentality: Ever seen a group of sheep blindly following each other? That's kind of what herd mentality is. It's when people adopt the opinions or behaviors of a larger group without thinking for themselves. They go along with the crowd, even if it might not be the best decision or idea.
