Understanding Conditioning in Brave New World
Scene Summary and Context Guide: In Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', conditioning begins early in life and continues throughout a person's existence. The society employs both psychological and biological conditioning methods to ensure uniformity and conformity among its citizens. From the Hatchery, where embryos are manipulated, to the sleep-teaching (hypnopaedia) used during adolescence, the text explores how individuals are moulded to accept their roles without question. The phrase 'Community, Identity, Stability' encapsulates the core aims of this conditioning process. The narrative describes the systematic use of slogans, repetitive messages played during sleep, and genetic engineering to produce obedient citizens who internalise societal values. This method of conditioning makes the characters unlikely to challenge authority or the social order, demonstrating a controlled and artificial society.
