Is Society Going To Be Like Brave New World

The author is the associate editor of The New Atlantis: A Journal of Technology and Society. In which, is the area of the news site that cover all technological advances and controversies on new sciences. The article cover the opinions of conservatives and progressives alike on the use engineering a child before or after birth. Although, the possibilities are endless and the benefits to humanity are countless such as, curing diseases, inherited genetics; they are filled with risks. Numerous scientists, ethicists, and other important members are present at this meeting, but exclude members with strong moral standards to have a less biased opinions. Nevertheless, ethics are not unconsidered, which is why there is such a strong force that holds

Advances in biotechnology have important applications to the core demographic concerns of human reproduction, raising a number of ethical issues. In the debate over this issue Kass the President’s council on Bioethics, with other scientist are nearly silent. In a critical discussion, Kass insists that producing and influencing babies in bottles is a gateway to a Brave New World. It is a way to maintain the population and keep the society from going into a revolution. However, in order maintain stability we must suppress all new scientific inventions along with artistic expression. Scientific research endangers humanity which can possibly threaten social order, which is why it must strictly be limited. Kass emphasizing on the technology itself

Is Huxley’s novel Brave New World, slowly becoming our reality? Are we becoming the individuals in the book, that live their lives oblivious to the fact they are brainwashed by the government? In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, our present society and their world state society share many similar habits, however it is the differences in our two societies that are more visible and clear. The three most obvious topics seen in the novel, was the similarities and differences in reproduction, drugs and family/relationships.

The novel opens in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. The year is a.f. 632 (632 years “after Ford”). The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning is giving a group of students a tour of a factory that produces human beings and conditions them for their predestined roles in the World State. He explains to the boys that human beings no longer produce living offspring. Instead, surgically removed ovaries produce ova that are fertilized in artificial receptacles and incubated in specially designed bottles.

"Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of the World State in the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, a state intent on keeping itself intact. In the stable state, the people must be happy with the status quo; they must not be able to imagine a better world, and must not think of a worse one. In the stable state, a few people must be able to cope with unexpected change, but they should be unable to initiate it. In the stable state, the population must have certain proportions of satisfied citizens and innovators that can coexist.

Our society has several issues that have yet to be resolved. In the novel Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley advocates a variety of changes in (relatively) modern society by depicting a dystopian world. Written in 1932, many of the book’s themes are still relevant today.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a message of believing in one’s individual opinions rather than society’s principles really shines through in the end. A young man named John challenges the way of civilization when he discovers he cannot force himself to be someone he is not. John is seen as the outsider in both his original home, the Savage Restoration, and his new home, civilized London. In the Savage Restoration, John was rejected from activities because of his family history. In the new world, he felt disconnected because society was always crowding and confining him.

What do we have in this world that Brave New World don’t have? Not a chance, I think our society is not in Brave New World. The society we are in is not in Brave New World because in the real world would never allow in society. First of all 7 year olds on having sex with each other in our society we will never allow. The society in Brave New World isn’t right to have an affair. In Brave New World the society is always to have freedom and to appreciate nature. Yet again, the society is won’t be in Brave New World.

One way is through peaceful penetration from one territory to another. Throughout history where has that happened? And what have the results have been? Another way is through immigration. Where has immgration taken place? What people have immigrated where and why? Is immigration still happening today? A third way in which people have come into contact with one another is through war. What wars have taken place? Is that still happening today?

Our society is leaning closer towards the way personal relationships are portrayed in Brave New World every day. With the behaviors children displayed and what they once did in their free time, is a completely different process than a long time ago. The way adults pursue their dating lives is no longer conservative as it once was, but promiscuous. And, the lack of sympathy our world has as a whole is lessoning every day. All of these things give example to what The Brave New World experienced in their transition to becoming The Brave New World; and if we are not careful, we are headed in that direction.

Brave new world social understanding While reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, it becomes more and more evident that their society reflects ours in several different ways. In this novel, Huxley tries to create a complete utopia which becomes problematic throughout the plot. Ironically, Brave New World is far from the perfect utopian society and is eerily realistic to our total society. In the novel, hypnopedia is used on children to teach them while they sleep.

The society within Brave New World that Huxley has presented to us is one that gains stability by sacrificing everything else. Religion, emotion, and thought are removed entirely from the minds of those who live within their “utopian” city. A heavy cost for the safety and stability of civilization. Some people might say that recent events in our world may also give the idea that we may be heading in a similar direction. Sacrificing the certain freedoms and liberties, for a stable and “happy” society.

Brave New World’s “fictional” society [World State] is practically an extreme, yet logically developed version of our world’s economic values, where economic growth and prosperity is equated with the success of a society. It has several comparisons to the realistic one we live in everyday. Huxley describes this part of his vision as being a “consumer society,” which evidently was satire of the society he was living in and the one that still exists today. In which people buy all they can and keep buying useless consumer items: nice clothes, food, and drugs. People indulge in these items and become so happy that they lose and choose not to care about their personal freedoms, which is why it is so easy for the World State’s citizens to be controlled.

Bokonavosky’s Process is used to turn one fertilized egg into as many as ninety six embryos using, “a series of arrests in development,” such as X-ray treatment, freezing and thawing, and alcohol poisoning (Huxley 6). This process does significantly weaken the embryos which is why it is only used on the lower classes. Through this process, identical twins are created, “by scores at a time” (Huxley 7). This, combined with the Podsnaps Technique which causes egg cells to rapidly be produced, can turn out an average of about eleven thousand people from just one ovary (Huxley 6-8). Occasionally, the embryos are even further conditioned by methods such as depriving them of oxygen in order to lower their intelligence (Huxley 14). These assorted biotechnologies play a major role in dehumanizing the population.

Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley in 1932. The novel was originally published in 1932 to Harper and Brothers, Publishers and copyrighted the same year. The novel is a dystopian science fiction and is 259 pages. The story creates an industrious view of society that is draws from the rise in mass production at the time it was written. These factors set up the basis of the dystopian society created by Huxley.
