Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange is a film about a wild and troubled young lad Alex. Alex and his friends (droogs) get a high from inflicting harm upon others. They commit random acts of robbery and rape around London. Alex, as the ringleader, eventually gets caught and is sent to prison. It is in prison that scientists study Alex's violent behavior. Scientists believed that through special training or a program that his evil ways could be fixed. Alex was subjected to a conditioning program that would create an unpleasant physical reaction to just the thought of doing harm to another person.

The injections he received was an unconditioned stimulus and the sickness was an unconditioned response to the injections. Since the scientists made him watch "ultra-violent" videos while being injected, he began to associate what he saw with what he felt. The ultra-violence became the conditioned stimulus, and Alex's sickness without the injection became the conditioned response.
