Blog it! :D

There were many different parallels that could be found between the educational video and the book Brave New World.  The one I am going with will be the way that the video compares education to a factory type environment.  This is just like Brave New World because that is exactly how their society is run and sustained.  The assembly line connection from the video is shown throughout Brave New World when Mr. Foster says "Sixteen thousand and twelve in this Centre...Sixteen thousand and twelve; in one hundred and eighty-nine batches of identicals."  This quote really shows like data or statistics that would be taken down and known throughout a factory type place.  The environment of Brave New World is truly showing how the plot of the story is about how the whole place is based on this idea of industrialism or workplace environment.  Everything is only about how well they are doing and how to make this and that easier.  When complication might be the only thing that makes everyone different and better.  That is just how the video is really connected to the book.  The video is all about efficiency for education and how people want it to be.  But is that the smart way to go about it?  When you could be using free thought.  It really shouldn't matter how you test or what your grades are, but what you have learned and how you have matured.  The whole "factory" and "efficiency" thoughts are good, but is that the smart thing to do?  Is it smart to make everyone do everything exactly the same and make everyone be held to the same standards.  I believe that everyone learns in their own way which leads them to what they will be doing in the future.  You do not have to book smart just smart in their own way.  Well that was just my two cents.  PEACE!
