Growing Up In Brave New World

Mature. The definition of mature is; one that is fully developed physically; fully-grown. To me, mature means you are able to watch out for yourself and others, you are able to have manners, and you are reliable as well as responsible. Mature doesn’t have an age to it. There are many kids who are very young, for example, six or seven, who are mature. Others don’t mature until they are about thirteen or fourteen. It really just depends on the background of that individual. Maturity all ties into the changes that Scout undergoes in the book To Kill a Mockingbird.

The education system in Brave New World as dreary and cruel as it seems is not far from the education system of our society. Creativity is not really promoted any longer in our society, which is comparable to Brave New World. The strict educational system and heavy gauntlet on creativity is a present day example of conditioning. The Brave New World uses conditioning to train the children of their society into learning specific subjects or forcibly generating a hatred for certain subjects or objects. Both systems condition children to know only what the administrators feel is suited. It is really quite scary to believe that the entire society is potentially being denied important

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.

Throughout the entire world there are issues with our societies brought upon by the lack of clear thinking and/or compassion. Many of these issues may not be problems necessarily but just topics discussed when the word “issue” is brought up. One can clearly compare our society to the society described in Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. In this novel the society Huxley has created is meant to be a utopia, made up of a hierarchy known as the caste system. Social classes in both societies create issues due to the fact that everyone has always had different standings in society.

I believe maturity is not dependent on a person’s age because humans are affected by different situations, are different genders and are raised differently.

Ask my teachers, friends, coaches, and family, they’ll all tell you that I’m mature. The way I hold myself responsible for my life, my studies, and my activities through the good and bad is a unique quality about me that they admire, but also know little to nothing about.

16-19 years | This is the stage where young people become young adults, and are often at the peak of their physical performance. Almost all girls will have reached physical maturity, boys will continue to mature into their mid-20 's. | By the time they have left school they will be thinking about their pathway for their career, whether it involves college or university. | Young people enter adulthood but still require advise and guidance from adults. They will lack experience and individuals will vary in emotional maturity and the way

Brave New World is set in a dystopian London in a time called A.F. which means after Ford referring to after the making of Henry Ford’s Model T. This new era called the World State was developed after the Nine Years’ War which destroyed everything, leaving no traces of the history. A mythologized version of Henry Ford replaces the faith civilization once had in Christ, turning all crosses into T’s. “All crosses had their tops cut and became T’s. There was also a thing called God,” (Huxley, 45). Everything in this time period is based off of science. All the new developments in technology such as human cloning, rapid maturation and prenatal conditioning have overpowered the human race, dehumanizing them. “For in nature it takes thirty years for two hundred eggs to reach maturity. But our business is to stabilize the population at this moment, here and now. Dribbling out twins over a quarter of a century - what would be the use of that?” (Huxley, 5). Out of

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

In the novel, Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, the author uses character development to contrast the two different societies present in the novel.He shows the importance of morality, or an increase in wisdom in the character of humankind. The author contrasts a society full of static and flat characters and another society full of round characters. In order to show the importance of life experiences in changing the character of individuals in the society.

Huxley's work, Brave New World, is a book about a society that is in the future. This book contains many strange things that are generally unheard of today. Yet we see that some of the ideas that are presented in this book were already present in the 20th century. The idea of having one superior race of people can easily be seen as something that Hitler was trying to accomplish during the Holocaust. Huxley presents the society in his book as being a greater civilization. A totalitarian type of leadership is also presented in his book. According to him, this would be the best and most effective type of government. Hitler also thought that a totalitarian government was best. We see several similarities between Hitler's Germany and Huxley's

Aldous Huxley wisely inserts many instances of distortion to the elements in Brave New World to successfully caution the world about its growing interest in technology.

In Brave New World and the world, education is going to the same way. In Brave New World it seems extreme and has it, so people’s fate is predetermined before they are even born. People may not be predetermined before birth yet but they are predetermined before they completed their education and by test scores and grades and other factors. These tests are the same for everyone and not case by case. The classes are for everyone and not case by case. People push kids into groups to take certain classes and to choose their career pathway early so they can achieve their goal. If they don’t choose early they will be stuck with what is left because they didn’t get their classes in and they are behind the people that choose earlier.

Back in the 1930's when "Brave New World" was published, no body dreamt that world of science fiction would ever come into reality. Surely there must have been a time though when a machine that could wash clothes too, seemed like science fiction. That machine has come into reality though. With today's technology and already seeing how far we've advanced scientifically, who's to say we

In fifty years, how will your great grandchildren act? In today’s world children are losing their morals, in the near future we may live in the Brave New World and intentionally disregard of our children. Children grow up too soon, forced into maturity, and get too comfortable with sex when they’re too young.
