When I was in junior high and high People in this society believe they can drop their inhibitions under hypnosis, so they do. I conjecture if one called it something else than hypnosis, it would be harder to get people to follow suggestions. Belief is powerful. There are some religious practices in the USA and other cultures that hold when one is in a certain state of mind, they are allowed to do certain things not normally allowed. And they do it. Some people like Kreskin hold that people are normally incredibly suggestable and you can get then to do unusual things without hypnosis.
