Topic > Individuality and conformity in Brave... by Aldous Huxley
The Beta caste is conditioned to be happy with their position in society. They are taught to believe that they are the best class in their society. By conditioning the Beta caste to believe this, the World State is stripping the Beta caste of their individuality. Without their individuality, the Beta caste cannot think for themselves and therefore will not seek to gain more power in the community in which they find themselves. Overall, the conditioning effects of Hypnopedia result in a stable community, thus conforming individual people to have the same values as the World State, and therefore lose their individuality in the process.
