Moralism In Brave New World

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a future world that has mechanized and removed all sense of life to being human. In this world, people work for the common good of the community and are conditioned to dislike what, today, we would consider common and healthy relationships with people and environments. The story follows a man, John, not born into the culture and his struggle with the unfamiliarity with the “Brave New World”. Published in 1932, Brave New World often leaves roots back to the world Aldous was in when he was writing the novel. I believe the genius of Huxley’s writing was his ability to effectively select the traits of 1930’s society that would later become a staple for Americanism in the coming century and, in time, allowing for a relatable story to the modern day while giving us warning to the future.

Lastly, John's imagination plays an important role because it contains some truth to it. In one of the chapters John describes Kathy peering at him from under the water with an alert expression in her eyes but is unable to speak. This is stated when the author says:

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John’s identities are influenced by two opposite societies, and even though he tries to prove his manhood and change the framework of brave new world, he can’t gain real acceptance from anywhere. John’s mother, Linda, is from the brave new world but gave birth to him in the savage reservation and her different behaviors based on the framework of the brave new world caused John’s isolation in the savage reservation. John decides to move to the brave new world and becomes popular in this society, but his identity, influenced by his “savage” culture, can’t be accepted by the community. His conflict with the brave new world finally forces him to try to change the framework of the society, but his attempt is

Cursed to a life of isolation because of his appearance, values, and outrageous thoughts, John was alienated mentally, emotionally, and physically in both the Savage Culture and the World State Culture. Torn between keeping true to his virtues and conforming to society, the treatment of John highlights the values of both cultures in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

In the beginning of the story, John is trapped inside the cave with the rest of his village. The cave prevents people from seeing the truth of their worlds in both stories. Their society “In by the Waters of Babylon,” has very strict rules. They can’t go to the east, go to the Dead Places, or go across the Great River, “These things are forbidden- they have been forbidden since the beginning of time,” John says (Benet, 109).

This is a study about one’s ethical and moral behavior and Christian World View as related to personal and professional growth and development. This study examines my personal views of moral behavior and Christian World View as it relates to my expectation of what a manager in a leadership position should posses and why. Growing up in a African-American Baptist church and ultimately landing in a diverse Christian Church has shaped my life and viewpoint when it comes to values and beliefs. There are 5 characteristics that I believe a Manager should possess: Authenticity, transparency, empowering, trustworthy and competence. These five characteristics help to build rapport and trust in a manager, which are good qualities to possess when leading a team.

Published in 1866, Crime and Punishment showcases the struggles of a young man attempting to find his place within society as he deals with the immoral judgement and guilt that overcame him when he murdered an older lady. Succeeding that book in 1932 Brave New World also mirrors the attempts of a man trying to find his place within a society that’s full of scientific advancement, unnatural births, hierarchy within social classes, and the use of drugs to serve as a type of happiness and religion. Both of these philosophical novels render a scene of society within their time period and, albeit in different time periods, both have similar underlying scenarios of attempting to find morals and ethical decisions.

During his journey, John discovers many things that contradict what he has been taught, challenging his knowledge. For instance:

When John first appears in the story, he seems faithful and deferential to his father. This is shown especially when he waits outside while his father searches the dead places. At one point in the story, John says, “Never the less my brothers would not have done it.” When this is said, John is narrating a journey he and his father took into a dead place when he was very young. With this line, John is showing that he possesses a loyalty to his father far superior to anything his brothers might have. John is shown to have a relationship more deep and personal with his father than his brothers have. John shows

Scientific advancement is generally used to lead humanity into a state of perfection. Humans are anything but perfect, but through science they can continue to enhance themselves and their surroundings in order to reach this state. Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, argues that this is not the case. Through the creation of a type of scientifically led world order, the society has destroyed the one thing that people cherish most, their individualism (Brander 71). They are no longer individuals; they are consumers assimilated into an overall society by the power of genetics. However, that is not all. Baker contends that “Huxley’s greatest fear was the potential misuse of genetic engineering, but Brave New World also reflects his warnings

An interesting quote from this book that during a approach betrays the archetypes of novels, during this story the villains square measure the heroes, or it'd be a lot of correct to mention that the heroes of the story square measure the villains of the planet. the planet within the brave new world is incredibly totally different from the one we tend to board, this world values "stability" a lot of thus than freedom, and "everyone belongs to everybody else" (102) there's a sort of collective whole that society these days lacks, and despite however fully atrocious its immediate reception is to the reader, the six year old's doing "erotic play", one will simply realize and believe its positives, which I feel is one amongst Brave New Worlds greatest

We think that the society will not reach the level of advancements that we now experience. We think this because in the story, John didn’t even know what a sink or an oven looked like or was. The society was very primitive. It had nothing that was even close to what we have today. They would have to recreate the history that our country has already been through. Some things that we have now might never even come about because some things that we now have happened by accident. We also think that they are too closed-minded to advance quickly. They had their beliefs and they didn’t stray from them. They took their rules, regulations, and laws very seriously. They believed that they would die if they went the wrong way or did the wrong thing. They forbade curiosity!

As John is on his journey back home, he realizes “Truth is a hard deer to hunt….you may die of the truth.” (Benet 321). This line explains that when people are told many different stories or tales, it is hard to know which one is the truth. Nevertheless, when you do find out the truth, it could be hard to understand and accept. John knows that the people of his village may not believe this new truth and it is going to be a difficult process to explain. This could cause stress or instability in the society. When John returns home, he seeks input from his father, a priest who taught him everything he knows. After talking to his father John says, “He was right-it is better that truth should come little by little.” (Benet 321). John plans to tell this new truth to his people gradually over time, so it does not come as a complete shock that what they have been told all their lives is a lie. John has accepted this new truth very willingly and he hopes his people also will.

John takes his values from Shakespeare, which serves him throughout the novel. This character affects the novel in a profound manner. The knowledge makes it possible for him to verbalize his emotions and reactions that are too complex. Shakespeare’s works are the base through which John criticizes the values of the World State. The knowledge also provides John with a form of communication that is evidenced in the confrontation between him and Mustapha Mond “…Science? The Savage frowned. He knew the word. But what it exactly signified he could not say. Shakespeare and the old men of the pueblo had never mentioned science, and from Linda he had only gathered the vaguest hints: science was something you made helicopters with, something that caused you to laugh at the Corn Dances, something that prevented you from being wrinkled and losing your teeth. He made a desperate effort to take the Controller’s

Death is an undeniable universal truth. None can escape death. Every mortal being is liable to decay and will die one day. We patiently or impatiently wait for death throughout our life. Sometimes it comes easily and sometimes it comes in one’s life in a long suffering way. As it seems to me that the ultimate destination of our life is to move towards death. Samuel Beckett’s Wating for Godot, a revolutionary creation, highlights the issues of waiting for symbolic Godot who never comes; to me it is waiting for death. It is not certain whether he will come or not but death will certainly come and it does so. When it was first staged on 5th January in 1953 it made history in theatre. Play is actually for performance not for reading. Watching play performed on the stage by actors and
