Exile In Brave New World

The Frontline episode “The New Asylums”, dove into the crisis mentally ill inmates face in the psychiatric ward in Ohio state prisons. The episode shows us the conditions and every day lives of mentally ill patients in Ohio state prisons, and explains how these inmates got to this point. It appeared that most of these prisoners should have been patients in an institute of some sort, out in society, but unfortunately due to whatever circumstances they ended up in prison. According to the episode, most of the inmates end up in prison due to them not coping with the outside world on their own. Prior to becoming imprisoned, the inmates had difficulties dealing with the outside world. Mainly due to lack of necessary

He was used to live in his brother’s shadow, but when the boat accident happened to them, he was the only one to survive. As he was always indentifying himself the less important one, he considered it was wrong that he was the one who would still have a life. As a result of nervous breakdown, he tried to kill himself with cutting his wrists in the bathroom, fortunately his father found out and save him. Then he went to the psychiatric for four months. When he comes back, there are still issues he needs to deal with.

Edward Said has written that "Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its new home: it's essential sadness can never be surmounted." On the other hand, Said has mentioned that exile can become "a potent, even enriching" experience. In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, exile is shown as an unfortunate consequence when one of them becomes an individual among their society. In the new "utopian" future, humans are no longer created naturally rather they are genetically bred and rendered physically insensible by an anesthetic. They are trained to be "perfect consumers." Reading Brave New World, it stuck out to me how much John the Savage's exile had such a rewarding yet alienating experience for him.

Born in a reservation and raised by a former World State citizen, the novel’s main protagonist John Savage excepts so much from his visit to the new world because of his mom. Yet after he goes, he realizes that it is the opposite from how she described it. Being John, he was not raised nor conditioned by the World State. Instead, he grew up with actual experiences the World State prohibits like emotions, religion, and freedom. In contrast, his mom Linda was born and conditioned in the World State so throughout

He felt as if his world was falling apart and that he was hit with an injustice just because his son was

I.iii.132-143) he says: "....about my life and all the battles I’ve fought. I told him everything, from my boyhood up until the time when I was talking to him. I told him about unfortunate disasters, hair-raising adventures on sea and on land, and near-catastrophes and dangerous adventures I’ve been through. I told him how I was captured and sold as a slave, how I bought my freedom, and how I wandered through caves and deserts...." He's essentially been scarred and traumatized by these various events, pointing to how is worldview might have been changed and hints of an underlying hidden mental instability.

Exile is the removal of someone from their comfort zone, home or society. The effects of exile have been debated. Some say that the experience is devastating and causes an insurmountable rift, while others will say it can enrich one’s life. In the case of Linda, a young woman separated from her home and society for twenty years, it resulted in enrichment. Although she tried to hold onto the past by keeping her societal beliefs, and various memorabilia, while passing this on to her son. Infact when she returns to civilized life she dies.

The experience of exile is dealt with differently depending on the memoir, but the overall picture received is one of feeling lost, unwelcomed, isolated and being unable to fully integrate into their new society. Memoirs often provide an insight into the lives of different types of people, Ghada Karmi’s ‘In search of Fatima’ memoir provides a detailed look at the life and experiences in exile from the Palestinian perspective. Karmi and her family were forced to leave their homeland in the late 1940s due to the creation of the State of Israel. After being forced out of their homes by the settling Jewish population, the family moved to England as refugees. Growing up in

Australia has revealed intense new plans to bar any refuge seekers who attempt to achieve the nation by pontoon from steadily having the capacity to enter the nation.

The Tibetan government-in-exile functions both adequately and admirably in the role of supporting Tibetans both in exile and in Tibet. While Chinese explanations for considering Tibet a part of China are most often reasonable, they tend not to reflect the nature of the relationship between the two countries accurately. In fact, the same can be said of the Tibetan government-in-exile regarding reasons Tibet is not a part of China. The government-in-exile has acted reasonably well in its attempts to regain Tibet, proceeding in negotiations with China and advocating its cause throughout the world while maintaining a non-violent approach. However, if the government-in-exile wishes to accurately portray the

view on the world, which he now sees as full of conflict and disconnected . This is a feeling

Exile, the reality and practice of being barred from a native country, has prolifically influenced many philosophers’ theoretical writings. Indeed, Julia Kristeva being in exile from her native Bulgaria is a foreigner in an unascertained land. Being an outcast influence’s her philosophical, political and sociological extended essay Strangers to Ourselves published in 1991. The book addresses a problem that Kristeva has experienced first-hand: the struggle of being a foreigner in Western culture and the difficulties that people and nations have with treating foreigners residing in their motherland. Jealousy drives our nationalist temperaments and Kristeva explores the figure of the unconscious foreigner in all of us. Strangers to Ourselves draws on the difficulty that natives have in accepting the stranger within and if we can come to terms with this notion. The exile is often a foreigner in an unfamiliar place or a foreigner repressed within the native’s unconscious, however a feeling of ‘strangeness’ can also occur through an exclusion from the ‘hegemonic rationalism of modern society’ (Lechte: 79). There are at least two other forms of exile that can produce the foreign-ness in us: being an exile as a way to thrive intellectually and imaginatively and being alienated as a woman. Historically and in the contemporary world, natives incite prejudice onto

Humanity has been indoctrinated into systematic slavery. This piece of information may sound outrageous, but think of why it sounds this way. All the abundant information currently perpetuates the ideologies of our current systems. Therefore, anything contradicting these ideologies will sound outrageous. Similarly, Aristotle sounded outrageous when he proposed his theory that the earth is spherical. Before continuing this paper, it must first be prefaced by saying that the following information may sound outrageous to those brainwashed by the system that we live in, because the system works geniously ensuring that any opposing information is completely stigmatized. In the novel 1984 any opposers of their system are killed or brainwashed. This directly relates to the systems in place now, although with one key difference. Our own selves are not killed directly, but instead we are not able to live if we refuse to conform to system because it is so designed that we need money in order to live. If we refuse to conform it results in social and financial exile. In parallel with the people of Oceania, we are criticized for having outside the box thinking. This prevents us from thinking outside of the synthetic reality that has been created. The mass population of our world suffers from the greed and sociopathic ideals that our system perpetuates which affects the evolution of human nature.

Just because of this tiresome transfer from one place to another, his father was always preoccupied arranging different odds and ends that; he failed to provide ample time to a motherless child. And just because of it, a huge gap was formed between son and father, which remained till the last breath of his father. To make the matter worse, his father remarried in persuasion of other people.
