BRAVE NEW WORLD
Key words:
Happiness
Education conditioning
The conseguence is the government of men into a caste system: every cast is conditioned in order to get the highest happiness and avoid every problem.

Conditioning is based on pleasure and pain. Alpha men for example are free to experience sexual games and are conditioned to become the governing caste. The situation  is different for the lower classes. The babies  are conditioned using electric shock and are distanced from those things which are naturally considered good (flowers, colours, animals). Pain generates happiness
