It's because of this type of conditioning that the inhabitants are for instance happy with their jobs and don't wants to do something different.
The aim in Brave New World is to program people's reactions to certain things, their behaviour. When they see the roses and books again, they are anxious and want to take flight. After the electric shocks and the loud noise the babies are in fear. In Brave New World: at the beginning the sight of roses and books causes delight. Though conditioning, you can condition a stimulus to produce a certain reaction. Types of conditioning used in Brave New World Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning:īased on the experiment of Ivan Pavlov with the Pavlovian dog.

Director of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Who's who Thomas / Tomakin / The Director To sum up it can be said that the novel is very meaningful and interesting especially because it gives you a completely different view concerning all the technical stuff. The author uses a sophisticated vocabulary and some parts are hard to understand. I had to read this book in school and have to admit that it was a complex read for me. Huxley believed that literature should be a warning, he was concerned with the dangers of modern, industrial society. It's impressive in how far the English novelist, who published this book in 1932, was aware of the perils we have and will deal with in our near future. He wanted to team his dystopian idea with a bit of satire by making fun of the dangers technology brings along. However, the author doesn't just mean to write about an imagined society where everything is unpleasant and bad. 
He created a dystopia by using the idea of modern technology and by building up a futuristic world where science controls everything. The novel Brave New World has been published in 1932 by the English writer Aldous Huxley. But, in Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, Bernard Marx is unhappy and harbours an unnatural desire to break free. People are bred and conditioned to be blissfully content with their role in society and permanently happy. In laboratories worldwide, genetic science has brought the human race to perfection. It is the year 632 After Ford and "stability" is the primary aim of the World State and the ideal society it has created.
