The+Conditioning+Room

What function does this scene perform? What is it doing?
 * It continues where chapter one left off
 * It provides information on how the children are raised and wraps up the process
 * It shows the psychological ways the citizens are made to fit into society
 * Introduces the process of conditioning to the reader
 * First examples of conditioning ( there are many)
 * Shows reader how strict society/ rules are (electrocution of babies)

Why has it been written?
 * To explain why the citizens are shallow and consumerist
 * To show how social stability is maintained and why there are few rebellions
 * To further examine the utopia's oppression
 * To show the extreme control the D.H.C. has over peoples assigned duties
 * To show the harsh tactics used to condition people

How is its construction conducive to its function and purpose?
 * The conditioning and sleep-teaching process could have been described by a narrator, but it was shown through the viewpoint of students
 * The reader can see the student's reactions to the conditioning, the lack of horror signifies that it is normal
 * To make the government/ D.H.C seem more powerful, Huxley chooses to use electrocution to condition BABIES rather than a different, much more (what we would consider) humane method
