Sleep-teaching
The ways of Hypnopaedia:
Brave New World:
The government has brainwashed each class system through the use of "Hypnopaedia". Hypnopaedia is used by the DHC in order to en-grain the social order and what is acceptable and unacceptable. Hypnopaedia is the most powerful tool that the World State has in terms of propaganda. Once a person is biologically created than born ;they listen to recordings as they sleep. The conditioning constantly every night stimulates the brain. The government tells them how to live their life including what job and friends. Through the use of hypnopaedia the farmers love to farm and only like to since that is all they are taught to do. In the book Huxley states, "Books and loud noises, flowers and electric shocks–already in the infant mind these couples were compromisingly linked; and after two hundred repetitions of the same or a similar lesson would be wedded indissolubly. What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder"(Huxley 30). In this part of the book they are explaining how they brainwash each person to their ways of society. It goes on to say, "They'll grow up with what the psychologists used to call an 'instinctive' hatred of books and flowers. Reflexes unalterably conditioned"(Huxley 30). Having no control of their own bodies or mind the people are conforming to the ways of the Brave New World. Once again through the use of propaganda the government has power over the brains of the people. They make them believe what they want. The scariest part is the people don't know better and think it is totally normal and fine. 2016: Today in society we use hypnopaedia more than you think. Originally you might think it is brainwashing which technically I would say it is, but in reality you are just stimulating and conditioning your brain. In other words tricking the brain. Today we use sleep- teaching for helpful reasons like to quit smoking and to prevent drinking and driving. Many listen to videos nightly to help trick their brains and make a new impact on their lives. If you think about today, how does the government control us through propaganda? The answer is in many ways you probably don't think of like though the T.V., radio, commercials, etc. We are so used to doing the same things and conditioning our brains to follow along. We listen to adds on the T.V. and radio all the time. How about the pledge? Have you ever noticed that you say the pledge allegiance everyday. That is one way that the government is controlling us and we don't even know it. Little by little we are being controlled more and more and one day we could reach the status of Brave New World. |
