In the book 'Brave New World' babies are conditioned to hate book so that the never read which then leads to them having a lack in intelligence. They are conditioned to hate flowers so that they live in the City and not the country. This is part one of a two step process, the second step is to play the words 'You want to become a factory worker' again and again during the babies sleep.

In the book this is done so that these babies, which are all clones, grow up with a lack of intelligence, a hate for flowers and a dream to become a factory worker. So when a man comes up to one of these babies in twenty years and asks if they want to become a factory worker the will say yes, and be happy working.

The way in which this works the conditioning works is that it creates a link in the baby's brain between a book and an electric shock. Because these babies are so young, eight months i believe, so when they see a book the will never like them because the brain likes books with pain. They will never remember why they don't like books

Why were babies conditioned to dislike flowers and books in the novel Brave new world?

In the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, babies were conditioned to dislike flowers and books through a process known as Pavlovian conditioning. This was done to emphasize society's focus on consumerism and immediate gratification, as flowers and books were seen as unproductive and not essential to the efficient function of the World State. By conditioned aversion to these items, individuals would be more inclined to conform and prioritize activities that benefited the state's stability and productivity.

How are people conditioned in brave new world?

In Brave New World, people are conditioned by the little boxes that are placed under their pillows while they sleep. These boxes teach them that whatever class they are (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, or Epsilon) they're glad their that class. They are also taught open sexuality and to want new things (Ending is better than mending) and to love flying. Also, they are conditioned for their environment on the conveyer belt. In the book, we see bottles be conditioned to hate the cold, which implants a need to seek out warmer weather. They also condition toddlers. We see them show toddlers flowers and colorful books, and when the babies get familiar and happy with these items, they shock them and blare loud noises.
