 A Brave New World Chapter 2 Summary
                       
   In this chapter, the tour lead by D.H.C. is in the Infant Nurseries, Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning Rooms.  The students are shown how they give eight month old Delta's a "lesson"; basically keeping  them from personal knowledge and nature through eclectric shock.  The tour made it's way to the fourteenth floor where they learned about "Elementary Class Consciousness", essentially the Beta children are in a sense brainwashed into believing they are harder working, smarter and overall better than the Epsilons, Gammas, Deltas and Alphas.

I feel as if the goals of  the Central London Hatchery And Conditioning Centre has to do with their belief system that consider Ford their god, basically, because Ford invented the assembly line. I see them trying to follow in Ford's footsteps, but in a more controlling sort of way. For what overall goal, I'm not sure of.
