Dystopian Society In A Brave New World

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a future world that has mechanized and removed all sense of life to being human. In this world, people work for the common good of the community and are conditioned to dislike what, today, we would consider common and healthy relationships with people and environments. The story follows a man, John, not born into the culture and his struggle with the unfamiliarity with the “Brave New World”. Published in 1932, Brave New World often leaves roots back to the world Aldous was in when he was writing the novel. I believe the genius of Huxley’s writing was his ability to effectively select the traits of 1930’s society that would later become a staple for Americanism in the coming century and, in time, allowing for a relatable story to the modern day while giving us warning to the future.

In the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Huxley includes allusion, ethos, and pathos to mock the wrongdoings of the people which causes physical and mental destruction in the society as a whole. The things that happened in the 1930’s plays a big contribution to the things that go on in the novel. The real world can never be looked at as a perfect place because that isn't possible. In this novel, Huxley informs us on how real life situations look in his eyes in a nonfictional world filled with immoral humans with infantile minds and a sexual based religion.

In the year 2525, everyone is the same. All children are created through a tube rather than being carried by their mother for 40 weeks, stripping them of their sense of individuality from the very start. After being born, or in better terms, hatched, the child isn’t given to the family, instead it is given to a caregiver to condition the thoughts and actions of the child to ensure that the dystopian society is kept in sync. While the children are made the same, there’s an exception. His name is John. John was the only child who was born naturally and he was born to two upper caste parents from London.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a fascinating and analytical work of fiction warning society of the possibility of a future world state eerily similar to the modern world. It could be argued by the fictional citizens and many others that the World State is in fact utopian. Constant happiness, fulfillment, and instant gratification. However, Brave New World clearly depicts a deteriorating dystopian society. Although by the World State’s citizens it is seen as an impeccable, expedient utopian society, the world Aldous Huxley illustrates in Brave New World is without a doubt dystopian. The dismal nature of the brave new world is ultimately proved by overpowering control, a lack of individuality, and overall dissatisfaction throughout society.

o read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is to understand the fear for the future during the 1930’s. Widely considered ahead of its time, Brave New World is one of the most influential novels regarding the destructive outcome of genetic and public manipulation through regime control. The story contrasts two worlds: the traditional world where the “savages” reside and the new World State: a negative utopia where unrestrained sexual freedom, reproductive technology, and mind numbing drugs run rampant.

The book, Brave New World, shows a world that has no individuality or exceptionality. Aldous Huxley decided to create a world where there was nothing but sameness and everything was communal. This equality was modeled as a thought after the expansion of communism out of Russia. He used multiple facets of society to hinder individualism in the story.

Throughout Aldous Huxley’s classic dystopian novel entitled Brave New World the reader experiences life in a post-apocalyptic world which claims to be an ideal society. However, it quickly becomes evident to the reader that this society is not ideal. In fact, the society depicted in Brave New World is immoral because the freedoms of the individual are non-existent. This is a result of the government’s total control of society and through the over sexualisation of society. The government’s total control of society is illustrated through the predetermined social and economic roles for everybody, the disallowance of people to think for themselves, genetic engineering, social conditioning and their control of people’s emotions. Furthermore, The

Some of the characteristics of a dystopian novel that are recognizable in Brave New World are that the world claims to be a utopia even though it is quite the opposite. In most dystopian novels, the society is in complete denial of what is going on around them. Those who are in power treat people in a very dehumanizing manner and they don’t seem to recognize this. Also, is it common for a dystopia to head straight towards oblivion.

Huxley wrote Brave New World with the intention of revealing the importance of struggle and individuality in an increasingly pleasure-feeding collectivist society. Brave New World challenges the consequences of the rampant hedonism, rapid industrialization, and socialism of the 1930’s.

The pursuit of technology will inevitably lead to the establishment of a dystopian society. Through an ominous forewarning, Huxley’s Brave New World provides a disturbing depiction of the hazards of future research in science and technology, revealing a hidden parallel to Monsanto and the biotechnology corporation’s significant alterations to biology and physiology. The term utopia refers to an ideal or perfect society better than the one that currently exists and is free from social inequality and conflict. A utopia is the embodiment of a heavenly state but is never to be found on earth (“Utopia”). A dystopia, on the contrary, is a society that attempts to establish social stability through an oppressive authoritarian figure

In the Book Brave New World by (Huxley, 1932) the ideology of a dystopian society was described to us. All dystopian books in my opinion are used to warn us what will happen if we start acting the way they act in the book and how we shouldn’t be like that, or it is to tell us that we are starting to become way to close top that and we need to stop. Now this book was written in 1932 which was a long time ago and yet some of the things that go on in the book and in the society, are starting to become more present in our society as well. Now, the one I wasn’t to talk about is the Sexual behaviors in younger children.

The dystopia painted by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World is a potential outcome of the future. Huxley composes his novel in a satirical nature not only to ridicule society and human

A dystopian society may not be that far off. In fact, it may even be present today. In 1932, author Aldous Huxley, one of the most prominent essayists of the 20th century, published the book, Brave New World. In this book, society faces a false utopia, in which people have little freedom over their choices and the outcome of their lives. This paper will be assessing the correlations between this society to the society of the 21st century, in which some of the traits depicted in this work are palpable in the society of the 21st century.

for starters, much information in the book is from the society itself and much individual thought or choices are restricted. for example there are only 100 songs, poems, paintings, etc that was picked by the society that are allowed. all the people living there don't get the opportunity to be unique through their hair or outfit choices except for their banquet. the society also picks out what they eat 3 times a day and they have no choice but to eat it and not complain.

For all those unfamiliar, Brave New World is a novel that focuses on a part of the future that, at the time of its conception, seemed almost a giddy dream. Huxley, clearly writing during a conservative decade, ashamed of the promiscuity of the 1920’s, uses imagery to make harsh comparisons between the meticulousness of the World State, and the primitive culture of the so-called savages.
