Brave New World chapter 2 journal

Summary: In the second chapter The director shows the students the infant nurseries. They show how they condition babies by showing them books and flowers and then shocking them so they learn not to like those things. Lower Castes used to be conditioned to like nature and pretty things, but since they weren't consuming they had to change that. They explain the process of Hypnopaedia and how you can remember what it is that you learned, but you don't know what you learned. So that system is flawed.

This chapter gives an overview of this world and how it uses consumerism and kinda promotes it. There is Allusion to Henry Ford, who is pretty much god in this world because he came up with mass production, which pretty much paves the way for consumerism.

the word mother is derogatory in this world.

viviparous- adj; bringing forth live young that developed in the parent's body
