How Did Hitler Use Propaganda In Brave New World

Within the story of a Brave New World, Aldous Huxley gives perfect description of new forms of conditioning; conditioning and indoctrination on a scale of political and social standardization. In the World Government, the goal of indoctrination is for collective agreement; so that every person may believe exactly as the next person does as well not simply so that there is no argumentation, but also so if there were to be an individual who does not agree, or who had somehow found the truth behind the “lessons” of childhood conditioning, then their claims against the World State would find literally no support, as seen when the main character Bernard Marx tries to convince his “girlfriend” of the sorts, to appreciate nature (a hated activity

Adolf Hitler once said, “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time…until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” The motif of governmental control manipulates the individuals in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Society within Brave New World is conditioned to follow specific guidelines and to possess the same beliefs. The bureaucracy dominates the population of the New World socially, mentally, and physically. The motif of executive authority and domination assists in establishing characters, mood and atmosphere, and the additional theme of using technology to manipulate characters.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World incorporates the political ploy of brainwashing and uses it to promote the common belief. While the term “brainwashing” was coined during the Cold War era, it still carries heavy implications and often suggests harsh techniques. Subsequently, brainwashing can be seen as ridding a person of their own ideology and replacing it with a more suitable collection of thoughts. Through techniques of mass education, thought control, and depravation of critical judgment, the World Controllers in the Brave New World are brainwashing their citizens and creating a perpetual state of dependency and confusion, serving as a warning for modern civilizations.

“Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.” (Reagan) Many factors can construct a conditioned society, by applying social norms and ideologies. These factors influence the use of indoctrination and dehumanization in society, which is an important theme throughout the novel. Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, is a great example of indoctrination; it demonstrates the effects of conditioning in the process of dehumanization and the influence of a higher power on society. This becomes apparent through essential factors, such as conditioning, sleep teaching/hypnopaedia and the use of soma throughout the novel.

Hitler had the ability to move crowds with his speeches for good or bad his speeches where never forgotten by the public. During the great depression Hitler was able to rise to power through the neediness of the people of Germany but also due to his mesmerising speeches.

Huxley managed to evoke rethinking in social conditioning studies, provide original criticism towards the changing political environment with the emergence of the USSR, and adequately defend his domestic values from anti-traditionalists determined to abolish all known establishments. Brave New World centers all three elements in its development of the World State as a flawed society as Huxley’s grand presentation to an impressionable audience of how their world may be headed in the same direction if they do not take the necessary steps to

The purpose of this essay is to explain how some out of the many propaganda techniques that are used in the novel Brave New World, and in parties like the Communist Party in Russia. Propaganda was a very important weapon in the Communist party in Russia. Propaganda was used to share information, educate, and lead people to the standard purpose. The Communist party of Russia took control of many communication tools, art, film, radio, theatre, music, books, posters, as propaganda. Those were the best way to reach out to a wider audience about the Communist party of Russia. The novel Brave New World also uses propaganda techniques to influence people. Propaganda was also very important in this novel, without it the people in the novel would not

The system of the World State in Brave New World can seem so far fetched, so different from life today. Through observing Brave New World, Revisited, it compares science and history in a light that parallels society to show that it may not be so far away from their reality. The lessons Huxley is portraying throughout the chapter, “Brainwashing” shows how dangerously achievable mass manipulation can bee because it is a slow transition of stripping the mind until there is no resistance left on the attacks of control to follow.

To be a leader means to be able to move masses” (Adolf Hitler), the quote epitomizes both the Nazi party in Germany and the World State in ‘Brave New World’, due to the fact that both exercised propaganda to gain dictatorship and control over their people. It is very easy for one man or society to dictate millions with the help of advanced technology and propaganda techniques, like card stacking, glittering generalities, . In World War ll, the venomous Adolf Hitler used modern technology to generate fear and distress to humanity. As a result, Hitler brainwashed his people of following his beliefs; which included racism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Bolshevism. In comparison to Hitler, the World State and Mustapha Mond use totalitarianism to manipulate

One may think that the society in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a gross representation of the future, but perhaps our society isn’t that much different. In his foreword to the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley envisioned this statement when he wrote: "To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda...." Thus, through hypnopaedic teaching (brainwashing), mandatory attendance to community gatherings, and the use of drugs to control emotions, Huxley bitterly satirized the society in which we live.

Propaganda is a way of showing “tough love” and giving the citizens a false image in a dystopian society. This is the “bullet” in the party’s gun when it come to mind control. Brain washing opposes the citizens personal beliefs and forces them have more faith in the party. The main type of propaganda portrayed in the book is used to alter the truth: The party calls this action “doublethink.” This action is shown in the party's central theme, “War is peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is strength”(Orwell 4). The slogan assures the citizens that they are already living a life that they are craving to

In Huxley’s well renowned novel, Brave New World, in an attempt to alter society, the government uses various techniques of psychological manipulation to control the way citizens think, behave, form their personalities, and live their lives. A huge theme in this novel is control and power. The leaders of the World State use various forms of manipulation to create an ideal utopia. Psychological manipulation is a type of social behavior that pursues to alter the actions of an individual through violent or devious undertakings. Manipulative behavior is not something that is easily identifiable because these individuals are usually good liars, are deviating, and only target vulnerable people. During every crisis such as World War I, the Great

To exemplify, in 1984, doublethink control citizens through the slogan, “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” (page 4). These are the chains society uses that bind the people to ignore their collective mind. However, Brave New World uses psychological conditioning early in life, so “they’ll grow up with what the psychologists call an ‘instinctive’ hatred of books and flower” (page 22). In this world, nature has no meaning and they condition children to have a fear of anything that creates individual thoughts. While 1984 reduces the range of thought and individualism with the invention of newspeak, the conditioning in Brave New World works to uphold them, but people are conditioned to find it repulsive. This is why the World State does not “want people to be attracted to old things” because plays such as The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet may provoke feelings in people that must be forgotten (page 219). The manipulation in what is taught in both societies causes citizens to lose sight of their

Some people may think Aldous Huxleys’ “Brave New World” is a representation of our societies’ future, but perhaps our society is not that much different now. We do things in present time that convince and control the way people think, by use of propaganda and drugs, as done in the novel. This dystopian society is brainwashed in a method done to all humans, to make them all the same so that the government can have control.

Edward Bernays, a pioneer in the fields of public relations and propaganda, wrote, “If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it” (Bernays 71). In this way, the Nazi party used propaganda to convince
