  • Essays 'What Is a Witch Hunt?', 1.
Extract

A witch hunt is the searching out and persecution of supposed witches. It can also mean the harassment of those with unpopular beliefs. I am not sure what causes a witch hunt to occur. Some believe that people embark a witch hunt to find a scapegoat to their problems, others believe that it is just a mass hysteria that spreads like a disease. Anyone can be subject to a witch hunt. From people of a certain decent that others do not like to women who desire to have an abortion. Witch hunts have happened in the past, are currently developing, and will most likely take place in the future.
