The fifth chapter of The Educated Imagination, “The Verticals of Adam” by Northrop Frye, explains his feelings about the necessity for children to be exposed to some fundamental texts in the literary spectrum in a certain order to best enable them to understand twentieth century society.

It is noted by Frye that the bible should be taught first, followed by the mythologies of the Greeks/Romans. I agree with his ideas about the order of exposure, as being the foundation of western society as it is best suited to being the foundation for learning of a child from said

The documentary Dream Worlds 3 was not much of an eye opener for me, due to the fact that I have been aware of this type of stuff my whole life. In this documentary, it shows the viewers how women are sexualized and looked at as nothing more than a piece of meat who will do anything for some money. It also gave insight on where this takes place, and it seemed clear that it mainly happens in the music industry and pornography industry. For example, in the music industry, a lot of the artist had music videos that sexualized women and degraded them as well. In a lot of the music videos, they had men throwing money on the women, pouring alcohol on them and also making them do whatever they pleased. You might think that not everyone is aware of

Huxley's work, Brave New World, is a book about a society that is in the future. This book contains many strange things that are generally unheard of today. Yet we see that some of the ideas that are presented in this book were already present in the 20th century. The idea of having one superior race of people can easily be seen as something that Hitler was trying to accomplish during the Holocaust. Huxley presents the society in his book as being a greater civilization. A totalitarian type of leadership is also presented in his book. According to him, this would be the best and most effective type of government. Hitler also thought that a totalitarian government was best. We see several similarities between Hitler's Germany and Huxley's

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World contains many extremes, from not having viviparous reproduction to having lots of sex and taking lots of drug to not having any literature and to revolving everything around Ford. The controllers in Brave New World control the people of the society by exploiting Freud’s studies of the subconscious mind. Freud believed that through hypnosis one could go into one’s subconscious and recover a memory that was hidden from the conscious mind. In Brave New World the controllers of the society use Freud’s idea of accessing the subconscious while people are under hypnosis. Instead of retrieving lost memories, they implant phrases, truths that must be believed on the deepest level possible: the subconscious.

Aldous Huxley wisely inserts many instances of distortion to the elements in Brave New World to successfully caution the world about its growing interest in technology.

Dreamworlds 3 focuses on picking apart what we normally see in music videos, both in the past and present. It depicts and describes how sexuality, males, and females are shown in the videos. That the images that are shown to viewers are overly sexual and depict males and females in boxed in ways such as women only being sexual objects, and men only be overly aggressive and always looking for sex forcibly or otherwise.
