Alright,
I guess its time for another essay. In Brave New World Aldous Huxley shows how the things that we love will be the death of us, while in 1984 George Orwell shows the things we hate can also be the death of us. In this next essay this is what I'm mostly going to discuss, and how the two books both have valid points.
Sir Ken Robinson writes, well, draws the parallels between the two differences in his video. He also talks about education and that it is outdated and should be reformed to fit students needs. I'm also going to discuss education and the similarities between Robinson's views about education and conditioning practices in Brave New World. Throughout Brave New World the conditioning they use to "civilize" people and brainwash them into what is and isn't reality, is like our education system today and what we learn in the classroom. The discussion of whether conditioning is right or wrong and if there is such a thing as a perfect world. More than that, can you always be happy? Should we as students just listen to whatever the teacher decides to teach us? Should we just believe that history is the whole truth? These are all topics that should be discussed in our next essay. I think this next essay will be really interesting because it ties in to all the other things we have read and discussed as a class and will help me write this nest essay.
