The movie A Clockwork Orange is a classic example of how conditional responses work... for dogs. I feel as if the doctors in this movie succeeded in making Alex a productive member in society, where there needs to be a sense of self control in public, which is just the reason behind training your dog to act appropriately in public. However, I would like to see how Alex would react to becoming a productive member of a family, where he would need to face a naked woman in order to conceive a child and if that managed to become successful, how he would discipline his children without becoming "sick". It could take years before Alex could become a "family man" rather than just a productive member of society after the treatment he received. While it seemed the doctors have succeeded in curing Alex from violence they in turn dehumanized him.
