1. NO FEAR, THE EXPERT HYPNOTIST IS HERE! Team name: Akcija Reakcija Team leader: Mojca Pavšič Team members: Barbara Diemat, Monika Susič Country: Slovenia School: University of Maribor

2. We can change the present to have good future! • The solution is EXPERT HYPNOTIST. • He would have two functions: • interrogating criminals(yeah, we would change the judicial sysem a bit) Prisoners would be forced to do socially useful labour they hate the most. How would we know which kind of labour that is? With hypnosis of course!  • evaluating people on important and high positions. Expert hypnotists would evaluate people that are going after important jobs and then would give the statement whether the candidate is trustworthy or not.

3. Tricky ethnical question • How would people know whether the candidate is good or not if expert hypnotist mustn‘t tell why? • Well, the expert hypnotist would have respect the code of ethics. When giving the evaluation, he would reveal only the information needed – if the person is trustworthy or not; he wouldn‘t tell why. Then it would be up to people if they will trust that person or not. • If a person turns down the evaluation under hypnosis, he would be automatically deleted from the list of candidates for a job.

4. The oath and the process of hypnosis • Every expert hypnotist would have to take the oath and would be obligated to hold the information for himself. • Still, there are some exceptions that would allow the violation of the code of ethics - for example if someone would be planning the terrorist attack. • Before informing the authorities, the information would be appraised on scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most important). • How would the process of hypnosis look like? • The candidate would be given the questionare and he would answered it when not hypnotised. • Then he would answered it again but this time under hypnosis. *In the process of interrogation and evaluation two expert hypnotists would be present, one as an eyewitness.

5. Becoming expert hypnotist • Only ten students would be able to enrole ina special programme called Studies of Hypnosis. • The programme would consist of subjects from various fields od studies (psychology, anthropology, medicine and chemistry, law etc.). • After 5 years they would graduate and become hypnotists. • Only studenst with top marks would be able to continue with a 3-year post-graduate studies under mentorship of another expert hypnotist. After those 3 years, students would take the judicial exam and only if they passed it, they would become expert hypnotists. • Every 5 years the judicial exam would be retaken and every 2 years expert hypnotists would hypnotise each other to see if they are still trustworthy and reliable. • Expert hypnotist could work for state only for 15 years. Then he would have to retire. He than has a few options: enjoy the retirement, open a private office or work as a mento/proffesor.
