How To Create A Dystopian Society

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, published in 1932, is a masterpiece of science fiction. His imagined, dystopian state creatively employs facts and theories of science, as well as his very own thinly-veiled commentary on the future of society. His family background and social status, in addition to molding Huxley himself and his perspective, no doubt made impact on his writing and contributed to the scientific accuracy of his presentation. However, Huxley certainly qualifies as a social commenter and his extensive works, while sometimes biased, were always perceptive comments on the future of mankind, predictions made based on current event in his world. In other words, current affairs had undeniable impact on Huxley’s novel, and his

Throughout this whole entire Novel I have notice problems in society that could have influenced the writing of this novel and see that the time in which this novel was written was the biggest influence as well as a prediction that Huxley had into what the future would be if society continued thinking and behaving the way it

In Brave New World Aldous Huxley, creates a dystopian society which is scientifically advance in order to make life orderly, easy, and free of trouble. This society is controlled by a World State who is not question. In this world life is manufactured and everyone is created with a purpose, never having the choice of free will. Huxley use of irony and tone bewilders readers by creating a world with puritanical social norms, which lacks love, privacy and were a false sense of happiness is instituted, making life meaningless and controlled.

Aldous Huxley’s repeated phrase and title “Brave New World” represents the climax of an unprincipled society in which technological advances changes the lives of many.

Brave New World, acknowledges government control which results in the failure of a society. It is a world created where everything is under control, being observed, and synthetic. The society was manufactured in a test tube therefore, it was factory made. The people were born and developed in the test tubes, so their human nature became adapted so an individual cannot identify or approach it. Every little detail of a person's life is prearranged. These people's lives revolve around their community, their existence, and security; never their individual happiness. They are basically living for their society as a whole. This society was designed to be successful but it failed to give people their individuality. The individuals sacrificed

Brave New World begins in an uncomfortably sterile and controlled futuristic society, commonly referred to as “the World State.” We join the story as a group of young students are receiving a factory tour of the “London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre” from the center’s director, whose name is… The Director. This is a very interesting start to the story because it is able to grab the reader’s attention and pull them. With that being said, I am going to be talking about each of the chapters, what it is like to live in the World State through my summaries, how it is different from our society, and if I would like to live there.

This novel suggests that there is more to life than just happiness; Brave New World insinuates that readers should seek freedom, knowledge and love in life. Huxley implies that without these fulfilling emotions and feelings, readers will be subject to a dreary and repetitive life.

The main conflict in Brave New World is individuality versus social stability. The notion of Brave New World is that one must give up their individuality and fulfill their role in the society for the greater good which is social stability. The totalitarian government in the novel controls every aspect of the id, superego, and ego. Aldous Huxley distinguishes each of his characters from the other to portray the different levels of individuality they display. Through the psychoanalytical perspective, it is interpreted that the “World State” dominated the characters throughout the novel. However, Bernard and John Savage show the readers the individuality aspect of the society

Dystopian novels have become more common over the last century; each ranging from one extreme society to the next. A dystopia, “A futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control,”[1] through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, criticizes about current trends, societal norms, or political systems. The society in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is divided in a caste system, in which humans are not individuals, do not have the opportunity to be individuals, and never experience true happiness. These characteristics of the reading point towards a well-structured

Brave New World focuses on controlling the minds of people and conditioning them to believe and acknowledge certain things as they are growing up. Aldous Huxley sets the tone for the book as dark and almost creepy, in a way. The dystopian novel describes how the government took over everyone and grows humans in a lab while brainwashing them. The government wants people to think they are made to support society as a whole instead of being individuals. The book uses a classic pull-in topic for a large audience; love and sex.

The novel, Brave New World, depicts a futuristic dystopian civilization controlled by the government. Strict laws and rules are placed intact and it is the job of society to abide by them or risk punishment by exile. Society's leaders conditioned their people to behave in a way that they seem fit. They use tactics such as sleep teaching or hypnopaedia as a way of brainwashing the minds of its people. They hide the individuality of their people and force them to unwillingly conform to its tradition. They are forced to be without emotions and understand that happiness can be achieved if your freedom is given up.

It was a cold, quiet night in Manhattan. A father of three is walking home from work in a alley at the dead of night. He gets a nervous feeling whenever he thinks someone is is following him, when he does he stops and tries to listen to any sound coming from behind, either from a newspaper that is scraping the ground from the wind or footsteps from somebody trying to rob him. He turns around slowly not to cause attention to whoever it is behind him, (whrr...whrr) the wind blew fast that it almost knocked him over. Looking behind him he saw no one, nothing.

Whether or not a society is discerned as a dystopia, is usually determined by one’s point of view. What one person may consider to be a horrible dystopia, another may find completely acceptable or may be happy with the outcome. For instance, if you don't care about procreation, then living in a world in which the birth rate is strictly regulated wouldn't seem very dystopian to you. To someone who values that very much, however, having society tell you how or when you can procreate would seem like something out of a nightmare. Based off of what Lauren Oliver said, “Dystopian novels help people process their

I do not feel Brave New World has transcended, there is multiple aspect of power and create a so called perfect society. I believe in the United States, the majority of people have come to except the differences. However, there are some aspects of the book that I do recognize in today’s world. One aspect is that people are placed in a class based on economic and social status. In the book people are placed and know based on their rank as being an alpha, omega, which affects the job they have in their society. Also, the strive for perfection is something else we see today. Women want to look young a beautiful, they pay a lot money to become what they believe is perfect. The media and society has a lot to do with the strive for perfection. In

Aldous Huxley wrote the novel, Brave New World, without a slight notion of what the future would hold. However, throughout the plot of the story, there were many concepts and themes that are prevalent in today’s society. Brave New World is a story that revolves around the idea of a dark utopia. All forms of normality were thrown out during the writing process. The beliefs that everybody belonged to everybody, and marriage was disgusting were praised in the society. Children were made by the hundreds in test tubes every day, and from that point on were classified by their chosen social standing. These kids grew up without a familial setting, however, they were taught through their sleep. The adults they would eventually turn into would follow their given path, and obey the societal normality's. Despite the numerous means of teaching, their was one man that always went against his society. Bernard and his ally, John, shook the World State to its core with their presence. In the World State, the leaders allowed abounding activities and administered forms of drugs in order to keep their civilians naïve. The use of soma and the scientific process, conditioning, preserved the ignorant bliss of the World State.
