Scientology is seen as a radical new approach to mental therapy and has developed into one of the fastest growing religious denominations of the world. The purpose of this report is to examine firstly, the legitimacy of the process of auditing and secondly, how the local community perceives this practice. A combination of text resources, interviews and attendance of various associated services were used to gain this information. The report will highlight that the practice of auditing is a serious threat to the community.
A number of professionals testify to the idea that scientology is potentially dangerous to a person's mind because it takes away choices and the ability to think rationally. This view is echoed by the majority of people in society who believe that scientology is potentially dangerous and can cause serious damage to a person's mind and well being.

Very good...
I enjoyed your essay. The manner of organization is very strong and creates a clear credibility to your work. There are few grammatical errors. The sections detailing the history of L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology are very strong. The only weakness that I can detect is when you move into your thesis. There seems to be little concrete evidence of the dangers that you claim. If the facts were obtained from a source, perhaps adding a quote would lend the necessary weight. Overall I would say this is a very good essay. Strengthening your position with some credible sources or additional information about the auditing process or costs, etc. could help. Hope these are helpful to you!
