A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

When readers read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, they are taken the World State, a dystopian society where the citizens are attracted to material goods, immediate happiness, and drugs that distract themselves from reality. Do Readers begin to wonder if the society we live in today become a dystopian society? While comparing societies, we begin to realize that our society is almost identical to the World State. Our societies are very similar, but we will never become a dystopian society like the World State, for we are not controlled by material goods, immediate happiness and drugs, we are controlled by our emotions.

“And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you 've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.”

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, people in the book show lack of emotion,feelings,interest or concern especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal wishing we had lack of apathy, my prediction is that people will no longer have strong emotions about anything important.They will become apathetic about most issues.We are convinced that one individual doesn’t matter. We can’t really make a difference in anything we believe in. That’s one of the reasons why people have started to lose interest in many aspects of their lives because they can’t do anything to change that. However,this only applies to a certain part of the population. To be honest in my opinion I personally think most of our generation thanks to social media

Imagine that by taking one magic pill, you could be at the top of your world. With one pill, you could find complete happiness and unmatched physical fulfillment. In his novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses the drug Soma, to give the characters all of the benefits of fulfillment, both physically and spiritually, yet ironically, as the drug plays out its role, the “fulfillment” leaves its consumer empty.

Humans live their day-to-day life searching for something that makes them truly happy. What if someone were to tell you that what you thought was true happiness was all an illusion. In a Brave New World by Aldous Huxley people in the world state are conditioned and drugged up by soma to not experience true happiness.

When Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931, nobody imagined that his fairytale story would someday be a reality. It is almost scary to see how accurate Huxley's far-fetched fantasies came to be. When Huxley wrote about the conformity, drug use and sex and technology of the society, he was almost pinpoint exact to predicting today's societies. Unfortunately, all of these things haven't exactly changed our society today for the better.

Women and men are different in many aspects from today, than in Brave New World. Some things that happen occur today, and others are unethical and do not. The author shows that men and women are classified as being the same, but have certain rules and boundaries. For example, having feelings for someone you’re sexually active with is bad, when we all know, today women and men normally gain feelings regardless. As far as having sex goes they don’t affiliate that with reproducing. They just do it like it’s a sport or their favorite past time. And they reproduce human beings by using what they call the Bokanvosky Process. Woman weren’t presented in the positive way that they should be.

Usually in high school or even in real world events, if one doesn’t fall into the social norms of their peers, they become socially excluded from social events. In most cases, people in high school could agree with this statement. If one doesn’t dress the way people dress, socialize the way they do, and even act the way their peers do, not only would they be excluded from any social life but they would also feel very lonely. In the story Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, one could compare Bernard Marx to the lonely kid at school who feels isolated and criticized by his peers. Bernard 's physique and high level of status makes him feel so out of place and insecure. On Pg.67, Huxley describes him in a way that gives us an insight on how

John’s mother, Linda, is from the brave new world but gave birth to him in the savage reservation and her different behaviors based on the framework of the brave new world caused John’s isolation in the savage reservation.

Regardless of how free one is to choose, society still has the ultimate control over how happiness is obtained.

Social class as a result of differences in wealth or individuality are something that is a fundamental part in civilization. The book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley focuses on a futuristic dystopian society in which these things are magnified in order to create a rift in society. Each person is crafted specifically in order to perform their job well, and from birth they are divided into castes that dictate their way of living. By establishing a strict regime in Brave New World where the social classes are so well-defined that they are biological, Huxley makes a point about the world we live in by exploring the thought that our widely divided society will be one of our civilization’s greatest weaknesses and potentially downfalls due to

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley writes about a dystopian society consisting of consumerism and happiness. This society strictly relies on its rules and provides a narrow way of thinking in life. When John is introduced in the book, he possesses knowledge of a Indian civilization unlike Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson. In this strange civilization, John learned old English from Shakespeare and Christianity, which are ousted in the World States. Because of his knowledge of this information, he is shunned from the new society he is not used to. This alienation pushes him out separating his views of life and the government’s views.

InThe Brave New World, Huxley creates a so called utopia based on the fundamentals of “Community, Identity, Stability” (Huxley 3). In the community, citizens live together as one where everyone belongs to everyone else. The citizen’s identities are predestined which determines how they will be utilized in the community.

John spreads his thoughts to other citizens in the world and slowly starts to influence others to

In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley was trying to convey the message that a perfect world could never exist despite any effort to control not only society, but all aspects of the lives of human beings. Utopian societies often result in totalitarianism because rulers are so consumed with making a perfect society that they are too controlling. The demolition of a dystopian society is quite inevitable because of human curiosity, which ultimately ends in the uncovering of the lies that a government attempts to communicate. In this novel, the government in London controls the lives of the people by making a perfect human race, and outcasts are exiled to another place outside of the State.
