Into The Wild, By Jon Krakauer

True freedom is the ability for each person to live as they desire; such a place is described as a utopia. Unfortunately in the dystopian novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the novel portrays a completely controlled society that has absolutely no freedom. Although you do have the few dissatisfied individuals who set out for a form of change. These individuals represent the optimistic part of the novel, despite conditioning, drugs and biological engineering; the human naturally wants more to life than just following orders.

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, people in the book show lack of emotion,feelings,interest or concern especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal wishing we had lack of apathy, my prediction is that people will no longer have strong emotions about anything important.They will become apathetic about most issues.We are convinced that one individual doesn’t matter. We can’t really make a difference in anything we believe in. That’s one of the reasons why people have started to lose interest in many aspects of their lives because they can’t do anything to change that. However,this only applies to a certain part of the population. To be honest in my opinion I personally think most of our generation thanks to social media

The novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley in 1932 is known for its social satire, utopian values, and unusual standpoints on stereotypical gender roles. In this time where futuristic technology has completely taken over, and men and women are given the same opportunities for everything, “the genders appear equal within the social order; both men and women work at the same jobs, have equal choice in sexual partners, and participate in the same leisure pursuits” (March 53). Huxley makes for a rather interesting feminist; “he was not only concerned about making women equal to men, he was also deeply concerned with the effects of technology and globalization on the quality of life for both genders” (Douglas-McMahon 21). However, there are many different sections of his novel that prove he was unable to fully rid of gender roles because of the time period in which he lived. Many of the stereotypical gender roles discussed in this book are also multiplied or switched rather than abolished. In his attempt to rid of stereotypical gender roles, Huxley manages to revolutionize, make fun of, and reconstruct them all in one breath.

Regardless of how free one is to choose, society still has the ultimate control over how happiness is obtained. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is the story of man from a Utopian world where consumerism is encouraged and aging does not exist. He visits the old world that is diseased and full of poverty and suffering. He brings back a savage from this world and the philosophy of life and happiness is questioned and discussed. In Brave New World, the social and political influence leaves the protagonists in a constant pursuit of happiness.

Many political figures assert that freedom is knowledge and knowledge is power. However, imagine if that knowledge was never attainable due to the government in ones society. Would one ever become free? Would anyone resist that government to gain knowledge? Would these people be considered individuals though they are not unique from the man next to him? Some universal ideas consist of, individuality, the cost of happiness, technology and control, and dystopia/totalitarianism. Humanity over time has carved itself to be different from others, to be considered unique. However in many societies that is not true today. These societies steal this individuality from people and control every single thing they do. They take away an individual’s

In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley was trying to convey the message that a perfect world could never exist despite any effort to control not only society, but all aspects of the lives of human beings. Utopian societies often result in totalitarianism because rulers are so consumed with making a perfect society that they are too controlling. The demolition of a dystopian society is quite inevitable because of human curiosity, which ultimately ends in the uncovering of the lies that a government attempts to communicate. In this novel, the government in London controls the lives of the people by making a perfect human race, and outcasts are exiled to another place outside of the State.

Numerous connections can be drawn between the film production The Truman Show by Peter Weir and Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. In each media, the society depicted seemed outwardly perfect, and the citizens were content. The individuals remained content through complete government control. With every society’s strength is a weakness, interestingly enough, the Achilles’ heel of both perfect societies is totalitarianism and social conditioning. The fact of the matter is that not everyone will be the standard. The Truman Show is a 24/7 recording of a man’s life that is being recorded without his knowledge and adjusted by the director. The protagonist of Peter Weir’s movie, Truman Burbank, is an insurance salesman living in a quaint island town that is conditioned to have a fear of water in an attempt to keep him from leaving the island town set called Seahaven. Truman is the only person in his world that isn’t a paid actor. He is the only one with genuine emotions. His sincere reactions set him apart from the rest of Seahaven. Brave New World follows characters through their lives in dystopian civilization. The main character of the novel is Bernard Marx, an introvert with a strong will for acceptance, up until he travels to a Savage Reservation. At the Reservation, he meets John. John was rejected by both the people of the soma-inducing World State and savages of the Reservation. He is the greatest example of a pariah. The characters’ inability to be like everyone else

Imagine a world where complete control is in the hands of the government. Imagine a world where science, literature, religion, and even family, do not exist. Imagine a world where citizens are conditioned to accept this. This is exactly how the world is portrayed in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. The focus of the World State is on society as a whole rather than on individuals. Some characters from the novel have a harder time accepting the conditioning. Through these characters, we learn the true cost of a government-dominated society. In Brave New World, Huxley conveys that a totalitarian government will provide happiness and peace by abolishing individuality and free thinking.

In Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World, (titled after Miranda’s line in Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest) (Frey 1) everyone works together to keep the Fordian society, as a whole, together, no matter what the cost. Each society member makes many individual sacrifices and this allows them to live a seemingly happy life. The protagonist of the novel, later introduced as John the Savage, played the devil’s advocate to the people of London, trying to help them achieve a truly healthy life. John developed his emotions by reading Shakespeare. Because of this, he could not comprehend the World State and caused much chaos while there.

Welcome to a world were “Brave” is not just a word; It has a true meaning. This is a story were everything as you know it, doesn’t seem to be right and will completely change your way of thinking. When this story was written, life was very harsh for many people….Mostly for the author who wrote “Brave New World” During this time (1930s) they didn’t have much sexual content Living The Future Of The Past In The Present…..

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a novel based on a dystopian, futuristic society in which daily life is dictated by the World State through reproductive technology and Pavlovian conditioning to promote the society 's views on persevering and maintaining “community, identity, and stability” through inaugurated happiness which takes away individual freedom. John Savage, the central character, challenges the World State by arguing individualism over collectivism which creates the conflict in the novel. Huxley produces this struggle by having the World State’s totalitarian control over society clash with John Savage’s choice to be an individual. This is shown through John Savage and Bernard 's constant struggle to think and be individuals, the use of soma by the State, and the philosophical conversation between John Savage and Mustapha Mond that stresses the importance of humanity’s personal choice over to live freely or live life through artificial happiness advocated by the World State in the means to maintain the perfect utopia, even if it means abolishing basic unalienable rights.

Aldous Huxley is best known for his novel Brave New World, which depicts a post-industrial revolution utopia. Huxley greatly feared the ramifications to an industrialized world run by consumer capitalism, which is displayed in Brave New World. The government within the novel focuses solely on the bettering of technology and not scientific exploration and experimentation. The society’s values lie in instant gratification and constant happiness. The utopia is maintained through the means of drugs, conditioning, and deindividuation – which Huxley argues is the key to any successful utopia.

In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the social boundaries that we have today regarding sex does not exist, families are obsolete as citizens are made in Bokanovsky’s Process (one that does not require sex meaning, the need for parents is gone), and the government conditions their citizens from early ages to keep stability throughout its regime. Brave New World follows protagonist Bernard (and his hidden love for nature and struggle for freedom) through this society, revealing all of it’s glory, from soma to Helmholtz the literature lover to the Savage Reservation, where modern day beliefs still reside in this negative utopia, leading us to John the Savage, which leads to the ultimate conclusion of Bernard, Helmholtz and John the Savage. Aldous Huxley, through Brave New World, answers the question of what society would look like if the government gave people happiness and stability at the cost of individual freedom.

In some novels it is blatantly obvious what the author’s view on a certain topic is. Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, made it known that he is not a supporter of totalitarianism. His works have illustrated his opinions on this topic. Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, analyzes the dangers of losing one’s individuality based on the main characters’ struggles and refusals to conform. This book is set in a futuristic society where the government controls everything including the conception of human beings. Huxley’s view on this type of society is extremely apparent in this story. His purpose of writing this novel was to warn his readers of the chilling possibilities of this type of society.

The novel takes place in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre in A.F. 632, about 600 years in the future. The novel opens with the Director of Hatchery giving a tour to a group of boys. He explains the processes by which human beings are created, conditioned and decanted. After fertilization, the embryo went on through the gestation period, where the embryos travel in bottles along a conveyor belt for 267 days before being “decanted.” Different chemical conditionings are given during the gestation period to ensure the individuals accept their “inescapable social destiny.”
