Mustapha Mond Quotes

The practices of a collective society such as the one in this book disregard all belief in the individual. By doing this, the society and its leaders brainwash the people into having no personal priority or authority. Everything is done with the betterment of the entire group in mind, no sense of self involvement. Their life is fated in almost every

Everything comes at a price, and the price that is paid for the new order is sadly high, costing the Utopians the benefits of high art, true religion, real science, and family life, which all have been removed to promote stability. "'Othello's better than those feelies.' 'Of course it is…But that's the price we have to pay for stability. You've got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. We've sacrificed the high art. We have the feelies and the scent organ instead.' 'But they don't mean anything,'" (Huxley 226) This conversation shows one of the tradeoffs made. Stories like Othello are inspired by strong emotions, and Utopia has done away with them. Now, there is nothing to write about, and if something was written along the lines of Othello it might cause people to think, causing instability. The movies people see are idiotic and plotless, based solely on sensations. Religion as we know it has been done away with also, as Mustapha Mond showed by his comments quoted at the beginning of this paper. Religion usually involves self-denial, and that is contrary to everything the new society is based on. With instant gratification

“‘And that,’ put in the Director sententiously, ‘that is the secret of happiness and virtue – liking what you’ve got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.’” Ch. 1 pg. 16

In the Brave New World, the people can not live their life to the fullest. One way they are limited is that they are predestined at birth. “We also predestined and condition. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future…” (Huxley 13). No one is allowed to grow beyond what the government decides is their rank. There is no competition among people and no one is trying

“And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you 've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.”

• Freedom: The power, rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that. It is the power to act deliberately on our own responsibility.

Freedom to me is being able to learn from your mistakes. If I did not have freedom, I would have to do what the top officials tell me I have to do. They would tell me what books to read, what religion to study, and even what food to eat. I wouldn’t

What is freedom? Freedom can mean a whole lot of things. Well, what does it mean to me? To me it means that it gives you the the right to succeed in your career or your personal life. It gives you the right to be yourself, to own your own guns, to have free religion, freedom of speech, and freedom

Freedom is America. American is where “ All men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”. We can choose our freedoms and paths we take in life. “Everyone's freedoms matter.” America is the “beacon of freedom and opportunity”, You don't have to be rich, or have a college degree if you fail.

Speaker: Who is the speaker? Is he or she a trustworthy source? How do you know? Provide proof.

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without resistance. Freedom is important because we have the opportunity to pursue happiness. Freedom leads to creativity and your own thoughts. People who live in freedom often take it for granted. Imagine if we didn’t have freedom.

The belief that actual happiness is not as fulfilling as a fake conditioned mindset is rather common. The people believe that there is no other way to live and are completely happy with their lives as they are. For example, Lenina firmly believes that she is “Free to have the most wonderful time. Everybody’s happy nowadays” (Huxley 101). The majority of the population believes that they are happy not realizing that most of their thoughts for being happy have been imputed into their mind thousands of times from the time they were born.

Freedom means living life as one wants, everything else is a form of slavery. If a person is not allowed to make his or hers decisions, if he or she is not free to live life as he/she wants than he/she doesn’t have power over his or her existence. If freedom was not essential for every human being than no one would have found so fiercely for it. If it was not important than today we would not be still fighting to keep and extend our freedom.
