First, psychological conditioning is used to ensure that each citizen is not only suited to their job and role, but actually prefers that role to anything else. Second, through the promotion of promiscuous sex as virtuous and the elimination of families or any long-term relationship, the government ensures that no one will ever face intense and unreciprocated emotional or sexual desire. And third, whatever sadness slips through the cracks can be brushed away by using soma, a drug with no side-effects that gives the user a pleasant high and makes all worries dissolve away. “And that...is the secret of happiness and virtue—liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.”]]> 2023-05-02 05:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2574680861 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2574702269 - Consumerism for beginners

In the first chapter the concept of individuality is introduced as something that is discouraged. Bernard Marx is introduced as someone who is dissatisfied with his place in society and looks for something more. He is different from others in his class. Which makes him feel like an outsider. “We also predestine and condition. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future…” He was going to say “future World controllers,” but correcting himself, said “future Directors of Hatcheries.” (pg.7) Bernard has desire for individuality in a world where you don't have the choice too be someone. ]]> 2023-05-02 06:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2574738633 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2574762785 In Chapter 1 by picturing those systems taken to their illogical conclusions, Brave New World critiques the industrial economic systems of the time it was written. The World State is designed with industrialism and consumption from the ground up; it is essentially how people are created. The novel begins with a detailed account of the process of mass-producing humans: When Bokanovsky's Process is used, one fertilized egg "was in a fair way to becoming anything from eight to ninety-six embryos—a prodigious improvement, you will agree, on nature."]]> 2023-05-02 06:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2574762785 peperez1001_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2575249182 The novel Brave New World cautions against handing over new, potent technologies to the government. One example of this theme is the strict control of reproduction through technology and medical intervention, including hypnopaedic conditioning, surgical ovarian excision, and the Bokanovsky Process. An example in the book would be on (page 10 ch.1 )' no longer anonymous, but named and identified .' meaning we are indicated who or what we are  . ]]> 2023-05-02 14:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2575249182 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576133969 The themes of dystopia & totalitarianism are established very early on in this chapter, when we see the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning explain the process of fertilizing. On page 7, the director says "Bokanovsky's Process is one of the major instruments of social stability". On the previous page we are able to learn about the Bokanovsky Process and how it affects the fertilization process, showing the theme of dystopia and totalitarianism as the creation of life isn't what we see in our current society, and the intentional harmful effects that the buds are put through in order to establish social stability. ]]> 2023-05-03 03:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576133969 peperez1001_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576134308 This section focuses on the application of psychological technologies to influence future World State residents' behavior. Each person is trained to behave exactly like the next as a result of conditioning and prenatal treatment, which results in persons without uniqueness. We see how in chapter 2 also they have a color coding for the level the kids are now trying to maintain thereby controlling them for having no access to books so they can gain knowledge and the flowers represent nature they do not want them to have the sensation of freedom. Both represent the book's central themes of control and dystopia. An example would be on (page 27 ) " Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with delta children and epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read and write ." ]]> 2023-05-03 03:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576134308 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576145916 In chapter 2, we gain a deeper insight into the classes of the dystopia and the process that the people are forced to endure to keep order between the classes. On page 22, we see the process that is used and its effects on infants, the director says "They'll grow up with what the psychologists used to call an 'instinctive' hatred of books and flowers". This "instinctive" hatred is caused by electrically shocking the infants when they are showed books or flowers. This is used to prevent them from attempting to explore the outside world and rather focus on their job, which may vary depending on their class. On page 25, we also learn of another process used to establish social stability, which is called "hypnopedia". Then on page 27, we listen to the excerpt that is spoken to the Beta class that tells them of their class and to be proud they are a Beta. Both themes are clearly present in this chapter as we learn of the desperate measures that the director goes through to make sure the classes and social stability is establish. ]]> 2023-05-03 03:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576145916 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576240776 Industrialism is demonstrated in Chapter 2 when the tour leader explains to the kids who are visiting the facilities why the infant is put through the classical condition. The straightforward statement "They all look the same" makes it clear that they were all mass made. Additionally, it is demonstrated to us how even after they reach adulthood, citizens can still contribute to the economy in positive ways, one of which is through transportation. On page 23, it is written that " At the sometime, we see to it that all country sports shall entail the use of elaborate apparatus. So that they consume manufactures articles as well as transport." These people are used to support the economic states by buying use of transports.]]> 2023-05-03 05:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576240776 amnavarrocruz1001_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576253465 The Director explains that Deltas are conditioned to hate nature and books, but to love complicated outdoor sports, so that they will consume (purchase) transportation and sporting goods. Next, the Director explains the origins of hypnopaedia (sleep-teaching). In the days when “Our ford ” was still alive, a Polish boy, Reuben, went to sleep one night while the radio was broadcasting in English. He woke up the next morning able to recite exactly what had been playing on the radio, even though he didn't understand it. "But even the alfas have been well conditioned. "silence, silence".]]> 2023-05-03 05:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576253465 javila1011_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576306359 The chapter talks about the process of conditioning that babies go through in order to stable them too the strict social norms of there society. The babies are in many different forms of conditioning. Like electric shocks, in order to instill in them under control and out of any kind of individuality or independent thought. "There was a wisper under every pillow"(pg.27) It mentions how easily they conditioned them while they sleep. Molding them into something they don't have too be. Creating lack of individualism in the babies from that start what will stick with them. ]]> 2023-05-03 06:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2576306359 amnavarrocruz1001_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2577758397 The group watches some children playing a complicated game called Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy. The Director points out a "charming" boy and girl of about seven or eight, who are playing a rudimentary sex game. Another little boy is taken to see a psychologist when he resists such “play.” The Director mentions the distant past, when it was considered immoral for children to engage in. The students are awed that Mustapha Mond is speaking to them. He tells them about the old days, when people had “viviparous” Meanwhile, the day shift has ended. In the changing room, Lenina Crowe talks with her friend, Fanny, about their respective plans for the evening. Fanny scolds her for not dating other men. "I know, dear.

They want all of their employees to keep working and not get sidetracked by the games because if they do, no money will be flowing in.As an illustration, "imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption" (pp. 31).]]> 2023-05-04 05:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2577784952 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2578581501 In this chapter, we bounce back and forth from various characters in the novel and are able to learn the different perspectives of them. We also learn of the societal norms, such as on page 31, when we see a nurse leading a boy to the director, saying "It's just that this little boy seems rather reluctant to join in the ordinary erotic play". Sex and drugs have become a norm in this world, compared to it being a sensitive and taboo topic in ours. ]]> 2023-05-04 17:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2578581501 amnavarrocruz1001_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2579123208 As we finish the Chapter of Brave new world the theme the cost of happiness if greatly shown. An good example is the drug soma. The drug soma is a muscle relaxer that makes you feel happy. "what you need is a gramme of soma" (pg.54). This is one way that they stay happy. This keeps them entertained and laughing.

Since the book's beginning, we have been made aware of the fact that stability is the World State's most important value. How mass production and consumption are prioritized globally.Even at the expense of degrading a whole human ". ...a gramme is better than a damn.

According to one definition of industrialism, it is a system that serves the global economy rather than the interests of the customer. They were developed for this purpose—to prevent the mass production of humans and so control the situation of the global economy. As we learned in Chapter 2, they mass-produce them and instill a love of the natural world in them so that they can buy transportation to places that will help the global economy."He put away the soma bottle, and taking out a packet of sex-hormone chewing-gum, stuffed a plug into his cheek and walked slowly away towards the hangars, ruminating" (pg.60).]]> 2023-05-05 16:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2579793361 javila1011_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2581069743   Through sexual behaviors, this chapter sort of develops the lack of identity. I think it's a little bit of individualism. But primarily because you can't spend your entire life with one person. "Yes, everyone belongs to everyone else," (pg. 43.)You have to abide by the requirement that you should be content and engage in multiple sexual encounters.

They often share the same preferences and desires, such as the desire for new clothing and the purchase of airline tickets for travel.  "I love new clothes, I love new clothes, I love... (pg. 52). They were trained like this. Women were also instructed to use contraceptives and carry them around in tiny fanny packs. In truth, these situations hardly allow for any individualism.

Bernard is smaller than other alphas and has different interests, such as reading poetry and spending time alone.This chapter emphasizes how tightly the World State controls its people, stifling individuality and fostering conformity through training and narcotics.

This guarantees that individuals adhere to the World State's predetermined courses and embrace society's ideals and conventions without inquiry.

Second, the World State upholds a rigid caste structure and system of social stratification, ensuring that each person has a predetermined place in society. As a result, there is less social turbulence or instability because everyone is aware of and comfortable with their role in society.

The World State encourages the use of the drug "soma" as a way to escape reality and numb any unpleasant emotions, which brings us to our third point.

As individualism is forbidden in their society, they are currently working to ensure that no one is listening to them. And I think that reality is a result of industrialism, as the government is just making that activity illegal so that it will continue to rely on them and prevent rebellion."Hush!" he yelled abruptly, lifting his finger as a warning: I think someone was at the door, they must have heard.

The chapter discusses how "feelies," a sort of entertainment that appeals to all the senses, are made and consumed. This type of entertainment is an outcome of the industrial system, which tries to produce items on an enormous scale in order to meet customer needs. In addition, they advocate for the purchase of new goods over their repair, encouraging a culture of excessive consumption and waste."Completion is preferable than repair. the idea that replacing broken items is more important than fixing broken ones, encouraging a culture of perpetual consumption and waste.

She lacks interest in establishing meaningful emotional connections and sees promiscuity as a duty.The chapter emphasizes the influence that conditioning and education have. Lenina says that she has become accustomed to and sees promiscuity as a social requirement. This indoctrination prevents her from challenging or opposing the conventional norms of sexual promiscuity, upholding social control and stability.The application of sleep conditioning is also demonstrated. Lenina and her friend Fanny's chat reveals that they both underwent conditioning while they slept, reinforcing their attitudes and actions.

Ending is better than mending, as the quotation "Ending is better than mending" (p. 49) underlines, is the society's preferred method of disposal over repair. This is a reflection of the emphasis on consumerism, which favors the creation of new things above the upkeep and repair of old ones. The portrayal in this chapter emphasizes how sustainability has lost value and how the world is characterized by an ongoing cycle of consumerism.

The people present at the service exclaimed at the climax of the service, "Orgy-porgy, Ford and fun, Kiss the girls and make them One, Boys at one with girls at peace; Orgy-porgy gives release".

As we are this far into the book already we are very familiar with the drug soma. In this chapter Bernard has to take soma in order to do certain things with Lenina.

After sleeping together, Bernard says to Lenina, "And that's why we went to bed together yesterday - like infants - instead of being adults and waiting" (page 94).

They learned about the indigenous' unaltered, straightforward manner of life during this time. The sentence on page 104 that follows says, "Ending is better than mending." is used repeatedly not only in this chapter but in the entire book.
The quotation highlights society's fascination with buying new things rather than fixing old ones, encouraging consumers to avoid maintaining their older possessions. This quotation connects to the theme because it highlights the contrast between Bernard and Lenina's industrialized society and the Savage Reservation's more environmentally friendly philosophy.

Lenina and Barnard fly over the sea and Bernard starts showing his beliefs which makes Lenina uncomfortable. lenina dosent understand why barnard thinks and acts the why he does since shes so conditioned. Even though barnard didnt want too sleep with lenina toward the end he took some Soma and still did it with lenina on the first night.  "Our Ford loved infants" (pg 94) said by Lenina, shows her conditioned self.

He then considers what it might be like to experience a severe illness without access to soma.

The Director stresses how the state can maintain social stability by regulating reproduction, conditioning, and other processes.The chapter emphasizes the influence that conditioning and education have. John finds the state's tactics repugnant since he considers them to be inhumane. He expresses his disgust at how children's minds are being manipulated and conditioned to fit social norms.

We are also able to learn of how they are able to keep the "savages" tame, when the pilot says "They've got enough experience of gas bombs to know that they mustn't play any tricks" (page 106).]]> 2023-05-15 18:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2591756781 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2592630976 This demonstrates how crucial standardization, efficiency, and mass production are in today's society.

Their lives lacked fun and were by no means comfortable. It becomes clear that Linda, who is from London, hadn't given up her other or consumerist activities. Despite being raised to value consumerism, she lacked the means to satisfy her needs. Instead, she used Pope as her source of food and booze in place of soma.

He was planning on representing him to important people but eventually in pg 175 the it states "But the Savage had chosen to lock himself up in his room".

John responds in terror and shouts "whore" at Lenina causing Lenina to be struck with fear, until John eventually leaves.

While John visits Linda, Delta children began to stare at Linda and make harsh comments as she lays on her death bed, causing John to become furious and yell at them, until the Head Nurse tells him, "They're being death conditioned" (pg. 203).

On page 211, John says "Don't take that horrible stuff. It's poison, it's poison", to the Delta children in an attempt to stop them from taking soma. Overcome by anger, John attempts to start a uprising, pulling Bernard and Helmholtz, until the police arrive and spray soma vapor and water pistols containing a powerful anesthetic. John attempts to start an revolt, but is stopped by the very thing he attempts to destroy as the World State uses it to control its citizens. ]]> 2023-05-26 16:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384617 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384712 In chapter 16, we see John and Mustapha Mond discuss about the differences between the World State and the Reservation. As they talk, John asks "Why don't you make everybody an Alpha Double Plus while you're about it?", to which Mustapha Mond replies "Because we have no wish to have our throats cut" (pg. 222). Mustapha Mond then goes to explain the reasoning and previous experiements regarding John's question. Through their discussion we can see the thought process of Mond and the reasoning as to why there are different classes as he explains that "He can't help himself; he's foredoomed" (pg. 222). Mond states that the lower classes are doomed and are happy with being told what to do, while the upper classes are allowed to become educated and explore different paths, showing the dystopian society that is formed through this process. ]]> 2023-05-26 16:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384712 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384815 In chapter 17, we see John and Mustapha Mond continue their discussion and go over the topic of religion, which the World State has abolished. As they discuss over religion and its importance, Mond states that it has no need in the World State, then John replies "Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it" (pg. 238). In the World State, there is no sadness or a need of religion as everyone is programmed to be happy with what they do, but if there is any problems that arise, it is quickly fixed with soma. The people of the World State are never able to feel any true form of emotions as they are programmed to follow whatever they are told or are too high on soma to realize what is happening. ]]> 2023-05-26 16:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384815 dhtranle1022_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384918 In chapter 18, we see John leave everyone behind and attempt to seclude himself in an abandonded lighthouse. John whips himself to "purify" himself from civilization, which he states "poisoned" him. After being interviewed and asked to whip himself, one day Lenina comes and yells out to John, he responds by saying "Kill it, kill it, kill it ...." and proceeds to whip Lenina (pg. 258). After waking up from his episode of rage, John comes to the realization of what he has done and hangs himself. The World State and the life it leads turns John crazy as he attempts to get away from it, but it eventually catches up to him and causes his ultimate demise. A "savage" that was brought in to benefit another person of the World State and his possible transfer, becomes a "circus sideshow" to the people of the World State, and eventually dies due to the people of the World State. ]]> 2023-05-26 16:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606384918 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2606386510 This chapter delves into John's treatment at the hands of others. He is handled as if he were a circus act or some other kind of spectacle, and he becomes a source of fascination.
As a result, Bernard seizes the chance to take advantage of John's presence and purposefully uses him in their meeting to boost his own popularity. The environment, however, deteriorates as hostility toward Bernard increases among the partygoers, ultimately lowering the spirits. (My guy Bernard can't seem to get anything right.)

People are treating her in a very nasty way and making insulting comments about her. John is obviously heartbroken and devastated by these things.
We see clear examples of the persistent materialism and industrialism that are pervasive in society throughout the entire chapter. This idea is demonstrated through the hospital beds and the surrounding area. Consumption even in the face of death is another facet of it.

As John struggles with the conflicting values of his childhood on the Savage Reservation and the hedonistic culture he encounters in London, his emotional torment worsens in this chapter. John struggles to fit in with society's expectations but is more and more lonely and disturbed by the lack of true human connection. Lenina's attempt to woo him shatters John's admiration for her, which causes him to lash out in anger. He views Lenina as virtuous and pure.

He is presented to Mustapha Mond, the Controller, who discusses the tenets that underpin their civilization. Mond embodies the World State's supreme power and the control it exercises over its people. Mond elaborates on the World State's deliberate design, which attempts to end suffering and increase happiness. He shows how training works to stifle individuality, emotions, and basic human instincts. Technology is used by the society to aid maintain stability and control, such as in the mass production of humans in hatcheries and the pervasive usage of narcotics like soma.  Huxley emphasizes the degree of the World State's control over its citizens in Chapter 12 of his book. It highlights the cost of stability and satisfaction, which is the loss of one's uniqueness, feelings, and intellectual interests.

He is a spectacle because of his outsider status and dedication to traditional beliefs. He is surrounded by others trained to see such behavior as aberrant and who question and make fun of him. John has been subjected to rigorous examination and objectification, highlighting the dehumanizing impacts of a culture that is fixated on control and uniformity. The chapter also shows how entertainment and diversion can be used as methods of control. One of the World State's leaders, Mond, explains to John how society keeps its people entertained and stimulated constantly in order to keep them happy and discourage them from reflecting deeply or challenging the status quo.]]> 2023-05-30 16:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2609378806 javila1011_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2609392464 In this chapter they discuss things like social control. when john brings up the bokanovsky twins Mond explains his experiment in which the World State filled the island of Cyprus only with Alphas.

After their arrest, they traveled to this location, where they talked about the history of the New World.
And they bring up Othello during their conversation. It was an old play that John noticed. He thought it may give the populace a fresh look. This meditation raises the topic of consumerism and reveals the regrettable fact that the World State was forbidding its citizens from partaking in the customary joys of people in other parts of the world.

Mustapha Mond, who stands in for the society's rulers, is aware of the potential risk John poses to their well designed structure. But they also see a chance to watch his responses and research the impact of a different upbringing. The chapter illustrates the vast amount of influence the World State has over its people. It is made clear that the controllers have been closely observing John's behavior via covert cameras and other types of surveillance. With the government continually monitoring and controlling its population, this underlines the absence of privacy and freedom in the society.Huxley focuses on the struggle between originality and conformity throughout the entire chapter. John's refusal to follow the World State's values, especially when it comes to love and sexuality, emphasizes the value of individual freedom and discretion. The chapter also demonstrates the limits of the controllers' authority because John's defiance of their demands demonstrates the strength of the human spirit. In conclusion, Chapter 16 of "Brave New World" reveals the several control techniques used by the World State to uphold its society structure. It illustrates how the government monitors, shapes, and controls its people. The conflict between originality and conformity is also explored through the figure of John, who poses a threat to the status quo.]]> 2023-05-31 16:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2610723902 agomez1101_2 https://padlet.com/amnavarrocruz1001_2/i7gcwa0iu19gyjif/wish/2610765133 The topic of religion is raised in this chapter (thank you, Ms. Moore, for providing us with the synopsis). John contends that if the inhabitants of England had a belief in a deity, they wouldn't have lived in the kind of society that the global state produced.

Mustapha Mond, the Controller, and John have a philosophical discussion on the tensions that exist between individualism and society stability. Mond defends the World State's methods, contending that making personal sacrifices in order to uphold communal harmony and happiness is a necessary trade-off. John, on the other hand, fiercely disagrees and passionately defends the value of authentic human experiences, emotions, and personality.

In this chapter, John turns into a show, attracting throngs of inquisitive onlookers drawn to his "savage" past. The people of the World State watch him and make fun of him, treating him more like an amusing prop than a person. John's frustration with the vapid and pleasure-seeking culture grows in the meantime.
