Brave new world depicts a society in which every single person is synthesized through hi-technology process without a biological mother. Unequal conditions are set ahead of time for different stages, however everyone is instilled with the idea that his or hers life is the best of all. In the sacrifice of free will, emotions, as well as a basic understanding of the world around them, people in this distorted utopia lead a superficial happy and full-filling life. While Brave New World sufficiently reveals the possibly horrifying outcome of uncontrolled technology and science developments, it also warns us about the current education system.
Sleeping education is the method that is widely used in the society in Brave New World. Moral suggestions about discipline and rules are broadcasted to everyone from a young age for numerous times. As a result, people lose their ability to question and think independently; instead, each time when encountered a complicated situation, they would automatically refer to what was taught to them and act in the way that the controller desire. As the director of conditioning center explains to his student, Till as last the childs mind is these suggestions, and the sum of the suggestions is the childs mind. And not the childs mind only. The adults mind too-all his life long. The mind that judges and desires and decides- made up of these suggestions. But all these suggestions are our suggestions! Although stability is achieved by such instilled thoughts and uniformed education. On the other hand, the society lacks its true values, which are variables and various ideas from individuals.
Therefore, in order to prevent our society from evolving in to the one in Brave New World. Teachers should pay enough attention to each student and encourage students to think creatively.
