Document Summary

One of the major instruments of social stability. Predicts how babies will be as socialized individual beings. Taking the contingency and unpredictability out of the process, replicating it in a way that gives them a high degree of control (perfection not yet achieved in this society tho) Ensures that people will want the role they are given. They don"t have the bondage of a lower caste, or the responsibility of a higher caste. "everyone belongs to everyone else", "everyone works for everyone else" The limitations on our equality are physically and chemically determined by biology. Ford is not just the owner of the motor company. His name is also attached to the social ideology of fordism. Machine has done what man has failed to do, the new messiah that has accomplished more. "the factory is the temple at which we worship" We will be happier, perhaps, in this highly mechanized society.
