A Clock Work Orange and Human Free Will
A Clockwork Orange demonstrates how society tries to change the thought process of society's wrongdoers instead of punishing them, but free will is more powerful than anything. The movie raises many questions; can humans be conditioned to fit in society or is freewill much stronger? A Clockwork Orange tells one that a human's freewill is much stronger and society is unable to condition the mind in order to have them mainstreamed.The psychologists and government in A Clock work Orange thought they had cured Alex of his evil ways by the use of operant conditioning. It is a response to external stimuli; expected positive or negative behaviors occur when negative or positive stimuli is expected, however this does not change the inner deep desires that one may have. The government in A Clockwork Orange could not keep Alex from his deep desires he was still clockwork orange with no free will and only programmed to do the opposite of his thoughts.A Clockwork Orange tells one that a human's freewill is much stronger and society is unable to condition the mind in order to mainstream back in to society. The use of the operant conditioning, theory on criminals had failed and an immoral mind cannot be changed and those who have these inner desires should not be included in to society. A Clockwork Orange shows an extreme use of behaviorist theory and the human mind is much more complex and is unable to be changed by a simple controlled stimuli.A Clockwork Orange (Two-Disc Special Edition)
