Is there Freedom In Conditioning


Over the years conditioning has been used by many in the field of psychology. In Brave New World conditioning is seen as good and the way of life but i myself think there is no freedom in conditioning. In conditioning there is no freedom for the conditioner and the one who is being conditioned. When carrying out a conditioning experiment there are certain steps you have to follow and each time you carry out the experiment it has to be the same because there cant be room for error. In Brave New World they electrocute babies which shows how inhumane conditioning is and how everytime the process has to be the same to get the results desired. Everyday people carry out conditioning experiment and there is no freedom in condtioning. Conditioning can be usefull and i think should be used when deemed necessary but it should not be used to control people. Many government already control people using propaganda and if they used conditioning no one would know the meaning of freedom anymore. Conditioning can be used to make people’s lives better but it can also be used to make lives miserable. In my own opinion i think there is no freedom in conditioning because there are certain steps you have to follow and if those steps are not followed the results you get wont be the one you want and you might get an unwanted response
