In Brave New World they are conditioned to not like nature and books. They are taught to not like this because they are conditioned not to. They are basically conditioned in everything. They are conditioned by hypnopedia. Also, every person is conditioned to do a different thing. But this conditioning is only seen in their society but not in the reservation among the savages.
Many people think that we aren't conditioned. We say that we are our own person and no one could condition us. But, we are wrong. Media has influenced people to buy certain things by advertising them. We see something on the tv and next thing you know we want to buy it just because we saw it. Like for example if your favorite celebrity is advertising something you are going to want to buy it just because your favorite celebrity has it. One of my favorites celebrities is Drake and he did an advertisment about Sprite. Since, I saw him drinking it, I decided to start drinking it as well. This, is not the only way in which we are conditioned. Everything, that goes on around us conditions us in some way.

I acknowledge the way you think about how we humans are conditioned and I agree with that. Even though the people in the brave new world society are conditioned in a different more difficult way, television, magazines, and taught morals are what keeps us in our place letting us know what we should and should not do as well as what we should try to look like. What do you think influences us as people to want to look a certain way and how do people know what’s pretty and what’s not. Do you think our definition of pretty is wrong?
ReplyDelete"But this conditioning is only seen in their society but not in the reservation among the savages." You mentioned this. So my question to you is, do you think that the savages don't condition themselves? Do they have certain expectations of how someone should act, look in their society?
ReplyDeleteDo you believe is wrong for us, in our society to be influenced by the media? How do feel about you going out and buying Sprite because you saw it in a commercial add?
