As mind control occurs in multifarious fashions, I'm compelled to elucidate a general definition of its' parameters. It is nothing more than an unwarranted imposition upon or intrusion into a sovereign mind-scape. A fun approach that I really like is to analyze the etymology of the word government, as it is most demonstrably a form of mind control:

From the roots of govern- and -mente, we get control of the mental.

Govern: control, -mente: mind; government = mind control.
