Bave New World
As man has progressed through the ages, there has been essentially, one purpose. That purpose is to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness is unheard of. This in turn would let only happiness exists. But when confronted with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, we come to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human soul really desires. In fact, Utopian societies are much worse than those of today are.

Through hypnopaedia, all of the basic rules of the society are learned by the children, and they learn to repeat and abide by these rules.
