In Brave New World (1980), automation and globalization are achieved by ignoring the sense of ethics. The society in the film has automated almost every stage of human life, from birth to childhood education and even emotional control. As a result, the people in society are instilled with abnormal values that are convenient for society. This creates a rational but emotionless world where efficiency and social order are valued more than freedom, individuality, and human dignity.
One of the major automations in the film is the scene in the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Embryo Incubation automates childbirth by culturing embryos in an inorganic container. This way of being born makes it possible to manage the ability of humans manually. This system also supports the caste system in the society. Depending on the needs of the World State, embryos are developed into different social classes, such as Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. Higher castes are designed to have greater intelligence and ability. It makes a stable social order and labor supply.
Children born from the incubation get their education through conditioning pods. The content of education will be decided based on the future roles and castes of the children. They are taught to love their own caste and dislike anything that might make them question society. While they sleep, they repeatedly hear phrases that teach them the values of the World State. This method, called hypnopaedia, makes children absorb social rules without thinking about them. These scenes show how globalization works in the society. People across the society share the same values, behaviors, and beliefs because they are all conditioned by the same system. Globalization is not shown as cultural exchange or international cooperation. It is shown as the complete standardization of life.
