Negative Connotation In Brave New World

Another technique that Huxley uses is flashbacks. There are a couple flashbacks that are presented in the novel, one of which is John the Savage’s and the other is Linda’s. These two flashbacks are what introduce the character and gives the reader information of the past of the character. This gives the effect of knowledge upon the reader about certain characters, experiences, and possibly foreshadow to what that character might have to endure.

Brave New World, a dystopian novel by Huxley depicts a cruel reality if technology one day advances too much. In no way does the book support racism, or religious intolerance. The books main idea, is a character realizing the holes in the “perfect” society. The dystopian community’s motto is “Community, Identity, Stability,” by separate classes from each other, Musafa mon intended a society to be stable; or no competition. Not a “racist” society. The controller simply had to eliminate racial or religious problems through classes and hypnopaedia. If there wasn’t one religion in the civilization, it would cause potential for instability opposite of what he wanted. Brave New World should not be banned from schools due to race and religious intolerance.

In this society, everyone was deemed equal to each other so no one could find out new things or talk about the past. No one was allowed to think as an individual. They had to use the word "we" instead of "I". Everyone always had to be in a group and male and female worked apart from each other. In the novel, the government chose who went with whom and whom they had to mate with. They couldn't choose because than they would be punished and be sent to a corrective center (jail/prison). No one rebelled because of this. In our society, we are allowed to choose who we want to be with and with who we want to start a family with. In the novel, the government is bad because no one is allowed to speak out. They didn't have a democratic environment. In our world, we have a democratic government and the right to freedom of speech, without getting punished. On the contrary, we have to speak out to make our community better and safer to live.

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.

In the book Brave New World, the government has complete control over the citizens. From conditioning to drugs, the government finds ways to use its power over the people. In many ways, this relates to our world and our government, and in this novel, Huxley warns us about letting the government take control over

The World State government kept their people in “bottles.” “’Each one of us, of course…goes through life inside a bottle,’ stated Mustapha Mond. (222-223)” The government expected everyone to act according to the standard of infantile behavior—of simple satisfaction, ignorance, and lack of self-restraint and they condemned anyone who acted otherwise. Citizens of the society were encouraged to take soma when distressed and attend social events and activities and so on. It was through such ways that the people were kept distracted and obliviously controlled. These “socialized human beings” were so ignorant of the shackles around their limbs that they didn’t even try or think to take them off.

Last, the use of allusion in the novel depicts the religion of Brave New World. Huxley

mental change due to the war that they witness. It will change them as a person forever.

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

There is basically no identity. No one has feelings of their own or think for themselves. Everyone is just alike. The people were frowned upon or looked down on and forced to take a legal drug called a soma if they started questioning anything or wanted to do something different. The somas made all the persons’ feelings and ideas that weren’t good and didn’t contribute to their happiness go away. This drug was everyone’s way out of having to deal with anything that made them feel unhappy and also was their way of having a good time. It could be considered like alcohol today, but much worse, lasted a lot much, and a lot more dangerous. The somas were a main contribution to the brainwashing the government was doing to the people in the different

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a book centered around underage sex, substance abuse and lack of morality, a book which is a part of the school's curriculum. Many books with homosexual characters have been banned and challenged around the nation. This is not justified considering some of these books contain no explicit content. Does that mean a book like Brave New World with explicit content is acceptable for high school students to read? Although the dystopian novel shows the dangers of technology becoming highly advanced, nevertheless the uncensored and graphic content in this book is something no student should have to read. The reasons Brave New World should be challenged are banned are immorality, sexually explicit scenes and promotion

"We felt the novel was very prescient to how the political climate is at the moment. It really showed what can happen when society is ruled by government, rather than the government being run as a voice of the people. I don't think it's such a big leap to say that things like that can happen when leaders
