Societal Dispossession Of Humanity By Aldous Huxley

When readers read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, they are taken the World State, a dystopian society where the citizens are attracted to material goods, immediate happiness, and drugs that distract themselves from reality. Do Readers begin to wonder if the society we live in today become a dystopian society? While comparing societies, we begin to realize that our society is almost identical to the World State. Our societies are very similar, but we will never become a dystopian society like the World State, for we are not controlled by material goods, immediate happiness and drugs, we are controlled by our emotions.

Drugs, promiscuous sex, birth control, and total happiness are the core values of the World State in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In today’s society things like drug use and reckless sex are often seen as taboo, but in World State, these activities are glorified and even considered normal. Aldous Huxley attempts to address to readers the harsh realities and cruel ways of our society in an exaggerated form. His purpose in doing so is to open the eyes of society to what the world might come to if things like technology and humanity get out of hand. In the World State, the motto that people are conditioned to live by is “Community, Identity, and Stability”, all three of which are ironically twisted to encourage members of the society

In the world of sex, drugs, and baby cloning you are going to be in many situations where you feel like the world we live in should be different. In the story Brave New World, they had sex with multiple partners along with a very bad use of drugs.

“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.”

Today, one 's perceptions of happiness are more often than not associated with material achievements, advancements, or perhaps, love. In Brave New World, however, happiness is based upon the pursuit of stability and emotional equilibrium Aldous Huxley 's dystopian novel, Brave New World serves as a warning of the ominous. Set in London, the totalitarian regime instills the motto of "stability, community, [and] identity"(Huxley.1.1) in its citizens. Huxley 's dystopia attempts to find the greatest amount of happiness for the largest sum of people. The simple, less complex characters of the novel seek to achieve happiness through means of scientific conditioning, thus, leaving one

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, people in the book show lack of emotion,feelings,interest or concern especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal wishing we had lack of apathy, my prediction is that people will no longer have strong emotions about anything important.They will become apathetic about most issues.We are convinced that one individual doesn’t matter. We can’t really make a difference in anything we believe in. That’s one of the reasons why people have started to lose interest in many aspects of their lives because they can’t do anything to change that. However,this only applies to a certain part of the population. To be honest in my opinion I personally think most of our generation thanks to social media

In a world plagued by promiscuity and drug addiction the World State was designed to be a perfect world. Everyone in society is conditioned to be happy while indulging in instant pleasure. Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, depicts a civilization that is controlled by an overly powerful government that conditions its citizens to be happy through the use of over medication. The society in Huxley’s world is ruled by an overly powerful government.

As man has progressed through the ages, there has been, essentially, one purpose. That purpose is to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness is unheard of. Only happiness exists. But when confronted with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, we come to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human soul really craves. In fact, Utopian societies are much worse than those of today. In a utopian society, the individual, who among others composes the society, is lost in the melting pot of semblance and world of uninterest. The theme of Huxley's Brave New World is community, identity, and stability. Each of these three themes represents what a Brave New World society needs

Aldous Huxley’s book, Brave New World, is a futuristic dystopian novel based upon science and technology. The society created in the work produces humans with specific qualities to make sure that everyone fits into the system. The overall happiness of the people is favored above the rights of the individual. “Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can’t. And of course whenever the masses seized political power, then it was happiness rather than truth and beauty that mattered” (Huxley, 228). The women’s rights movement seeks the advancement of socialism and the expense of individual rights, just as the “Brave New World” described in Huxley 's book sacrifices the rights of man for the contentment of society.

From floating obstacles courses to movies that make you literally feel the characters sensations, and more, Aldous Huxley’s, Brave New World offers a peculiar yet interesting story that very much relates to modern times. The book is set in a future Utopia, but the advanced technology isn’t the only thing that’s changed. People in the society of the book, the World State, have a very loose grasp on what truth and happiness really are. These interesting relationships prove just how incompatible truth and happiness can be. In society as a whole, truth must be chosen over happiness in order to obtain a self-reliant, thriving population; however, in today’s world, individual happiness is often chosen over truth by way of inhibiting substances.

From the beginning of time, humans have strived to be happy. During this time, thousands of different people have given their interpretation of happiness. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the simplified definition of happiness is feeling pleasure or joy because of a certain situation. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Controller, Mustapha Mond, conceals the truth in order to keep everyone happy. He gives his people drugs and brainwashes them into believing that their life is good. Satisfying. When John the Savage enters the novel, he questions all things concerning “civilization.” The civilized people are willing to do everything in their power to hide from the truth. These people were conditioned to stay away from the truth

The novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley in 1932 is known for its social satire, utopian values, and unusual standpoints on stereotypical gender roles. In this time where futuristic technology has completely taken over, and men and women are given the same opportunities for everything, “the genders appear equal within the social order; both men and women work at the same jobs, have equal choice in sexual partners, and participate in the same leisure pursuits” (March 53). Huxley makes for a rather interesting feminist; “he was not only concerned about making women equal to men, he was also deeply concerned with the effects of technology and globalization on the quality of life for both genders” (Douglas-McMahon 21). However, there are many different sections of his novel that prove he was unable to fully rid of gender roles because of the time period in which he lived. Many of the stereotypical gender roles discussed in this book are also multiplied or switched rather than abolished. In his attempt to rid of stereotypical gender roles, Huxley manages to revolutionize, make fun of, and reconstruct them all in one breath.

A perfect society is always an ideal dream of the human mind. Peace, love, and education are intertwining parts of a perfect society or, a utopia. This idea is not always the case in an imperfect world and is usually only a hopeful dream. These types of worlds can greatly be described in detail through the world of science fiction. Aldous Huxley was an English writer who lived during a time when war and chaos were engulfing the world. His works reflect his view and thoughts on a dystopia, which is a false utopia, and describes what could occur in possible governments of the world. The ability to understand and dive into the thoughts of the author is what makes world literature such an important aspect in literature. Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, depicts the horrors of a futuristic dystopia based on his society and significant aspects of his life, while leaving his mark on literature, as one of the most controversial and influential writers of the twentieth century.

In Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, life is peaceful without any rebellion from its citizens. The society is called ‘The World State’, where scientist can finally produce eggs, without women getting pregnant. As a result, there is no such thing as a “family”, and the word ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ are consider as obscene. “. . . the loathsomeness and moral obliquity of childbearing –– merely gross, a scatological rather than a pornographic impropriety” (Huxley 159). They use the Bokanovsky Process, in which they fertilize human eggs in a vitro and make the eggs split into identical copies. They condition the embryo in favor of what class the embryo will develop into. The castes are just the same as the Upper class, the Middle class, and the

The flaws found in the world are what create the distinct characteristics that scatter the face of our planet. Today, in our world, there is no such thing as a perfect state in existence. In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley describes the World State as the perfect place to be, a dystopia where everyone is obliviously happy. Every member of the community is content with his or her position, no matter what their job is, because of the special conditioning revolving around the World State’s motto: “Community, Identity, Stability”. Balance within the World State is achieved through the sacrifice of the genuineness of the citizens, demonstrating the society’s value for stability and strong desire to maintain it, to the extent of living in entire falsehood.
