Chaos In Brave New World

Mustapha Mond is one of the most powerful men is this society and certainly the most powerful we’ve met in the book. He controls what the masses can read and see in the media. He was one of the few people who can know what’s actually going on and how to control everyone. Thus, showing the reader some of the many political problems in this utopia. In chapter 11 Huxley writes, “‘Our library,’ said Dr. Gaffney, ‘contains only books of reference. If our young people need distraction, they can get it at the feelies. We don't encourage them to indulge in any solitary amusements,’” to say that the people of this world have no choice in what they consume in the media. This small detail tells about the type of society of Brave New World. Details like this showing the limitation of the people in this society gives the reader a feeling of uneasiness. The government if this world has a type of totalitarian government. As in, the government controls all things in a political sense. The world as world in controlled by a

Adolf Hitler once said, “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time…until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” The motif of governmental control manipulates the individuals in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Society within Brave New World is conditioned to follow specific guidelines and to possess the same beliefs. The bureaucracy dominates the population of the New World socially, mentally, and physically. The motif of executive authority and domination assists in establishing characters, mood and atmosphere, and the additional theme of using technology to manipulate characters.

During the 1930s, the times of World War II and the Great Depression, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World. There were several issues going on in Huxley’s time that are still present in today's world . Huxley features some of these problems in his book, Brave New World. These problems include drug or medicine usage, women and gender inequality, and traditional marriage/homosexuality. Since this book was written during the times of the Great Depression and World War II, these factors also contributed to some of these issues. Since World War II and the Great Depression are over, these do not affect the problems today. Although some of these problems are still a problem in today's world and society, they are not as much of a problem as they were during Huxley's time.

An author by the name of Aldous Huxley wrote a novel named Brave New World. It is about two vastly different worlds, a “civilized” and technologically advanced society; the World State and the “uncivilized” Savage Reservation. The World State is taken place in the future where people are born out of test tubes and when they are eight months old they are electrically shocked so that they hate books and flower. This is due to the controller not wanting his clones to have knowledge or know the true meaning of happiness. In this Utopia the government is run by Mustapha Mond. Mond is one of ten World Controllers who exile those who have unorthodox beliefs. While discussing these unorthodox beliefs, two main characters are presented. Aldous Huxley

In the novel, Brave New World the government has an interesting way of ruling its citizens as they destroys all historical events and experiences such as love, friendships, freedom reproduction, way of learning and other personal interconnections as the world controller Mustapha Mond says, “you all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspiring saying of Our Ford’s: History is Bunk” (Huxley 34). The World State treats all its citizens as children by giving them quick satisfaction when contradicting their responsibility. The director gives every citizen a specific social function before they are created and put into one of the five castes which forces the citizens to use a drug like soma repeatedly and to be interested in strong sexual desires,

The first view concerns the authoritarian governments who see that by achieving conformity and sameness, they succeed to achieve happiness, stability and consequently utopia. The second view concerns the dystopian protagonists, Bernard Marx, John the Savage and Jonas, who see that by losing individuality, identity, freedom, love and family in return for unreal false happiness and superficial stability, the people lost their humanity and live in a dystopia. In Brave New World, Mustafa Mond confirms the first view of the authorities: The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can’t get.

Everybody is different, not one person the same, but imagine a society were there are thousands of one person. Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World is published in 1932, however displays a futuristic society. It quickly comes to be that the future is not all that it is cracked up to be. To begin, all people are born out of a decanting bottle and given injections of which traits they will hold in life. They use a perfected technique that allows them to clone the embryos, thus the destruction of individuality.

According to Aldous Huxley, “A love of nature keeps no factories busy” (Huxley 31). Although this nature he speaks of represents plant life, it may symbolize human nature. In life, instability within society creates difficulties that people must overcome. This instability is caused by human nature, defined as “the ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that are common to most people” (“Human Nature”). In Brave New World’s utopia, people no longer have to face situations that may harm their well-being. To eliminate financial difficulties, society is transformed into a productive community in which all people must work. Even more so, people must have the same beliefs to maintain harmony in the society. In order to do this, the thoughts of the

Stability v.s Instability From mothers and fathers to bottles of babies, humans are created. The almighty Ford is the foundation of a new world that influences their people from early ages. The purpose for this new world is happiness. The world that happiness rules all people is a world that is stable.

Society hinders of humans coexisting. If people did not live in a structured society than humanity as we know it could spiral into chaos and then extinction. This is because there would no longer be anyone reproducing, causing society to stop growing, as well there being no structure. Without structure life is chaos because no one has power and therefore no one can enforce rules or regulate jobs that need to be completed. Overall Aristotle is correcting in suggesting that people who live outside of society are bad people and do not contribute to the well being of society.

In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, identity and emotion is destroyed to keep the World State under control. Many techniques are used to shape the society. Cloning, for example, is used to mass produce citizens to work for the community. Censorship is used to shroud them from unorthodox ideas. With traits out of the way, people can be easily manipulated to do what the Director trains them to do.

Throughout the novel “Brave New World” we are introduced to characters who are struggling with internal conflicts. One of those people was John the savage who was separated from his home and the people he loved. However devastating it sounds it enhanced John in ways too.

The society today could end up like the society in Brave New World. One way our society today could end up like the one in Brave New World is the similar drugs we use today. In our society today, we have advanced technology in the genetics field just like in the book, Brave New World. Lastly religion is not a big idea in today’s society like Brave New World. Those are some ideas of how our society could end up like Brave New World and their society.

The Brave New World portrays the perfect society, where citizens of “Utopia” live a life without depression, and any socioeconomic problems. In the New World, every portion of life is controlled. Only when a person is able to dig deeper inside of himself will he find that this world is nothing close to perfect. Drugs, sex, and mind games control this world and solve any problems that may arise, such as overpopulation, and caste tension. The usage of such tactics causes a loss of individuality.

Similarly, Huxley’s Brave New World depicts a government in total control doing all that it can to keep power over the people. From childhood, citizens in this society are conditioned to be perfect tools of the government. On page 22 of Brave New World, the Controller explains how babies are conditioned to hate and fear books and flowers, so as to destroy curiousity and promote work (Huxley 22). If people are formed in such a way where work and lesiure is all they know and love, deviance cannot occur. Also, ever before birth, citizens are forced into predetermined castes through chemical alterations. Early on in the novel, Henery tells Lenina, “And if you were an Epsilon, your conditioning would have made you no less thankful that you weren’t a Beta or an Alpha” (Huxley 74). Regardless of their caste, members of this world are okay with their situation because they are taught to love their position, no matter how degrading it can be. Much like The Party, Brave New World’s government takes special care to remove those who defy set rules and expectations. When explaining the islands to Hemholtz, the Controller says they are for “All of the people who, for one reason or another, have got too self-consciously individual to fit into community life” (Huxley 227). In order to preserve perfect obedient, society, the government eliminates the deviant by shipping them far away. The
