Chapters 1-3 "Now we rub in the lesson with a mild electric shock" (HUXLEY 29)
The director is scaring and shocking babies in order to condition them a certain way. This seems like a very effective but extreme way of conditioning. People in our society would be sick to their stomachs seeing babies being shocked on the ground screaming their lungs out but to the people in BNW its something that almost every human has to do in order to be a functioning member of the world.
Children are being conditioned here in the U.S. everyday, not by factories, but parents! "Supposing parents have a very radical thought and are over opinionated regarding other religions, communities or castes, it is one dangerous form of social conditioning induced in children who, when grown up, may get very intolerant towards other communities and may get easily offensive on criticism about their religion and beliefs". (MAHITHA KASIREDDI) Parents completely control their children for many years so it is not unlikely that the child will be very similar to their parents. Parents condition their kids to believe in what they believe because of how they raise them.
