Manipulating the MindThere are many ways the government manipulates and controls the people of their society. In the Brave New World, they are conditioned every day by hypnopaedia , which keeps the catchy slogans locked in their brains for the rest of their lives, and basically sets out the rules they will need to follow. Propaganda such as: "ending is better than mending" and "a gramme in time saves nine", or even "when the individual feels, the community reels", are all phrases that are constantly being repeated in their brain and out in public. These simple little slogans are the guidelines to the society's stability. Today, propaganda is used through social media, TV, or in magazines and newspapers. Pictures that catch the eye, reel people in and make them think that the product or act is necessary to meet social standards. Both worlds are being connected by this brainwashing technique that has successfully changed the minds of the people, and forced them to do whatever the controller or the government want.
