Kids In Brave New World

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.

This is true for Bernard Marx, a protagonist from Brave New World who has acknowledged this with his partner, John, also known as “The Savage”.

From a young age, the people of Brave New World are taught to ‘play erotically' with other children on the playground. Just like the morals of hypnopedia, promiscuity is built into the society from decanting and shapes the ideology of women and their role. Women are expected to be giving themselves to whoever wants them whenever the male figure wants them which harms their independence. This is especially seen when the Director tells a little girl, "‘Run away now and see if you can find some other little boy to play with'" (Huxley 32). From the youngest of ages, women are constantly being told their place in society is to please men and this again makes promiscuity a normalcy thus taking power away from women.

The people from Childhood’s End have a stabilized economy, to the point where there is no more poverty, and machines replace workers for more efficiency, “Production had become largely automatic: the robot factories poured forth consumer goods in such unending streams that all ordinary necessities of life were virtually free. Men worked for the sake of the luxuries they desired: or they did not work at all,” (Clarke 64). As a result of that, people have more time and money for leisure, knowledge, and thinking. Also, there is a difference in the amount of emotional and social freedom. For example, in Brave New World,“ ‘Fortunate Boys!’ said the controller. ‘No pains have been spared to make your lives emotionally easy­to preserve you, so far as that is possible, from having emotions at all!’,” this contrasts the way of life in Childhood’s End because these people have been conditioned to have no emotions, no strong bonds and relationships, no romance or monogamy, no family life or religion ­ all manipulated without choice with the process of sleep­learning called Hypnopaedia (Huxley 45). For example, “‘Sleep teaching was actually prohibited in England. There was something called Liberalism. Parliament, if you know what that was, passed a law against it. The records survive. Speeches about liberty of the subject. Liberty to be inefficient and miserable.

Children in the Brave New World don’t have mothers or fathers so they are taught to become adults before they are the age of adulthood (Huxley). While the children are only toddlers they are forced to do “erotic play”, which would be related to simple playing on the playground in today’s world, and are taught it is what’s right and the wrong thing is to not participate (Huxley 30). By the age of eight children are taken to the “hospital

I grew up in a world where one could literally not go more than an hour of consciousness without reading something. More or less, I am growing up in such a world. In a world run by little ink scribbles on the remains of trees and cloth. In a world where the news is someone killing something else or a natural disaster, and gossip creates controversial issues. A world where children could see how harsh the world is before they got to imagine a better one and be let down by it. But at one point in my life, I didn’t see the harsh actions and terrors that one could commit against his own race. I saw the white walls and the words that covered them.
