clockwork orange</span></span> by Anthony Burgess -
original book and
derived movie by Stanley Kubrik:<br>
<font size="3">Anthony Burgess</font>, the author of
the novel
upon which the film is based, makes the lesson plain:<font size="3"><br>
</font>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="3"> </font><font size="3"><span style="font-style: italic;"> Alex
is not only deprived of the capacity
to choose to commit evil. A
lover of music, he has responded to the music, used as a heightener of
emotion, which has accompanied the violent films he has been made to
see. A chemical substance injected into his blood induces nausea while
he is watching the films, but the nausea is also associated with the
music. It was not the intention of his State manipulators to induce
this bonus or malus: it is purely an accident that, from now on, he
will automatically react to Mozart or Beethoven as he will to rape or
murder. The State has succeeded in its primary aim: to deny Alex free
moral choice, which, to the State, means choice of evil. But it has
added an unforseen punishment: the gates of heaven are closed to the
boy, since music is a figure of celestial bliss. </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The
State has
committed a double sin: it has destroyed a human being, since humanity
is defined by freedom of moral choice</span><span style="font-style: italic;">; it has also destroyed an
angel.</span></font><br>
<font size="3"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></font>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;" size="3">The
novel has
not been well understood. Readers, and viewers of the film made from
the book, have assumed that I, a most unviolent man, am in love with
violence. I am not, but I am committed to freedom of choice, which
means that if I cannot choose to do evil nor can I choose to do good.
It is better to have our streets infested with murderous young hoodlums
than to deny individual freedom of choice. This is a hard thing to say,
but the saying of it was imposed on me by the moral tradition which, as
a member of western civilization, I inherit. Whatever the conditions
needful for the sustention of society, the basic human endowment must
not be denied. The evil, or merely wrong, products of free will may be
punished or held off with deterrents, but the faculty itself may not be
removed. The unintended destruction of Alex’s capacity for enjoying
music symbolizes the State’s imperfect understanding (or volitional
ignorance) of the whole nature of man, and of the consequences of its
own decisions. We may not be able to trust man – meaning ourselves –
very far, but we must trust the State far less.</font><br>

coltello, capo di una banda di "duri" con i quali ripete ogni sera, sui
marciapiedi dei sobborghi, il gioco della violenza. "Il mio eroe, o
antieroe, Alex - ha scritto Anthony Burgess - è veramente
malvagio, a
un livello forse inconcepibile, ma la sua cattiveria non è il
prodotto
di un condizionamento teorico o sociale - è una sua impresa
personale
in cui si è imbarcato in piena lucidità. La mia parabola,
e quella di
Kubrick, vogliono affermare che è preferibile un mondo di
violenza

inoffensivo... <span style="font-weight: bold;">Arancia

this program the

behavior--in particular the explicit prediction and control of the
behavior
of people. The practical importance of such a science scarcely needs to
be pointed out, but understanding and effective use of the science
require
fairly detailed knowledge. This program is designed to present the
basic
terms and principles of the science. It is also designed to reveal the
inadequacy of popular explanations of behavior and to prepare the
student
for rapidly expanding extensions into such diverse fields as social
behavior
and psychopharmacology, space flight and child care, education and
psychotherapy.
The program itself is one application of the science.</span>

a favore della terapia del
comportamento operante
è essenzialmente questo: quelli che vengono sentiti come
sentimenti,
o introspettivamente osservati come stati mentali, sono stati corporei,
ed essi sono i prodotti di certe contingenze di rinforzo. Le
contingenze
ambientali possono essere molto più facilmente identificate e
analizzate
di quanto non lo siano i sentimenti o statimentali. E il
comportamentismo
si propone di cambiare le contingenze anziché questi ultimi.
Alla
psicologia umanistica, alla psicoanalisi e al cognitivismo Skinner non
risparmia critiche pesanti e spesso pregiudiziali. Il comportamentismo
sarebbe sempre stato osteggiato perché si tratterebbe dell'unico
metodo di intervento realmente efficace. Qua e là si allude a
scenari
che paiono francamente orwelliani (G.Orwell<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><b><a href="http://www.oilproject.org/lezione/george-orwell-1984-riassunto-trama-romanzo-distopico-12666.html">1984</a></b>),
