Answer:
B. Doctors were believed to be unquestionably all-knowing.
Explanation:
Charlotte Perkins Gillman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" revolves around the life of a woman 'diagnosed' with mental illness and the 'treatment' around that sickness. The story delves into the theme of mental illness and how it is perceived by the people, especially in a patriarchal society like the one the narrator is in.
In the given excerpt, the woman, diagnosed with mental illness, states how she was 'treated' for the <em>"temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency"</em>. The physicians, including her own brother, all decide what is the best for her condition, instead of asking her opinion. This shows the lack of women's participation, let alone acceptance of women, in society including the domestic sphere.
Lastly, <u>her revelation shows how doctors or anyone of high standing, were perceived and believed to be unquestionably all-knowing and correct</u>.
Answer and Explanation:
1. In "Brave New World" the population was conditioned to act and think in the same way through the psychological alienations to which they were subjected. The idea behind this conditioning was to allow an end to individuality and to prevent people from thinking critically. Currently, we can consider that the media reinforces a conditioning similar to today's society. This is because we are conditioned to the standards that the media presents us, showing what it means to be successful, beautiful and pleasant. we are led to believe in these standards and to try to mold ourselves to them, at any cost, even if it causes harm and is against what we really believe. In "Brave New World" the character Marx is unable to submit to conditioning and is therefore excluded and seen as abnormal. In our society, people who refuse to submit to media standards are seen in the same way and feel out of place and lonely.
2. In "Brave New World" hypnopedia is used to teach individuals behavioral concepts while they are sleeping. This system allows them to listen to manipulative phrases that modify their behavior and teach them to act as desired. Currently, we can compare the "Brave New World" hypnopedia with smartphones. Despite not using smartphones while sleeping, we spent hours being subjected to the information that smartphones can provide, being possible and having access, once again, to the media standards that modify human behaviors.
"Brave New World" is a book written by Aldous Huxley and presents a futuristic society where all inequality has been eliminated, but the inhabitants are manipulated to act and think in a unique way, eliminating all individuality, rationality and autonomy.
