Towards the end of chapter two in "Brave New World" the directer tells the childern about hyponpedia. So instead of continuing with electric shocks and alarms to basically brain wash the childern, the World State aknowledged that these methods were too crude and began using hypnopaedia. While the childern sleep a voice wispers to them to teach the all different forms of prejudice to each caste. The voice explains that the beta cast must be proud and filled with happiness and do not have to work as hard as the Alphas. But also explains to each child that the Alphas are still smarter that the remaining caste systems. These recordings are repeated to the childern over and over again to insure the learn and understand that this is the way of there world.


I sleep with my ipod in my ears so that i fall asleep to music and not the silence of my dark room. The nusic on my ipod varies from christian to hardcore hip hop. The music i listen to while i sleep feeds my brain is positive and negative ways. So usally when i listen to softer music i wake up in a happier mood but if i was listening to more esplcited music i sometimes wake in more of a bad mood and still feeling tired.


The point of what i am tring to make is do you think after listening and associating with certain music and people do you began to refect the things you allow to enter your mind or who you really are as a person?

  3. I listen to all kinds of music, rock (my favorite), rap, alternative, and even a bit of country. Music is a very important part of my life and I listen to it 24/7. Just about literally. I suppose my love for rock has influenced some of my actions and feelings, but I see it as I live by it. I reflect who I am as a person as a person who listens to Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” while I write this post, and listens to Sublime and Red Hot Chili Peppers more than too often. I am as a person a person who likes music, art, and movies. And to answer your question better, I think I reflect both what I listen to and who I am as one.

  4. to add to my last comment, i think the issue with brave new world's people is they cannot differentiate between what they hear they should be as a person and who they actaully are as a person. They only see through a one way mirror, you know what i mean?
