Society Is Not In Brave New World

            Before launching into the implications of these two novels, I believe a summary of the general human experience in each of the two societies is necessary. Brave New World illustrates a society in which science has been elevated to a god-like position. In this novel, human

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.

Throughout the entire world there are issues with our societies brought upon by the lack of clear thinking and/or compassion. Many of these issues may not be problems necessarily but just topics discussed when the word “issue” is brought up. One can clearly compare our society to the society described in Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. In this novel the society Huxley has created is meant to be a utopia, made up of a hierarchy known as the caste system. Social classes in both societies create issues due to the fact that everyone has always had different standings in society.

Brave New World is set in a dystopian London in a time called A.F. which means after Ford referring to after the making of Henry Ford’s Model T. This new era called the World State was developed after the Nine Years’ War which destroyed everything, leaving no traces of the history. A mythologized version of Henry Ford replaces the faith civilization once had in Christ, turning all crosses into T’s. “All crosses had their tops cut and became T’s. There was also a thing called God,” (Huxley, 45). Everything in this time period is based off of science. All the new developments in technology such as human cloning, rapid maturation and prenatal conditioning have overpowered the human race, dehumanizing them. “For in nature it takes thirty years for two hundred eggs to reach maturity. But our business is to stabilize the population at this moment, here and now. Dribbling out twins over a quarter of a century - what would be the use of that?” (Huxley, 5). Out of

Although the two societies have almost the same rules about new inventions, the technology they both have is nothing alike. The people in Brave New World are much more advanced. I would say they have even more than we do today. They fly around in helicopters instead of driving cars. Their helicopters even seem more advanced than ours because of how fast they go. The reason these people are so advanced is the same reason the people in Anthem have so little technology. They only allow certain people to create new things. If anyone other than these people invent something, they are punished by being whipped. They don’t even have light bulbs. For some reason they choose not to make new thing better then the ones they have. They think this will hurt their society.

Brave New World, acknowledges government control which results in the failure of a society. It is a world created where everything is under control, being observed, and synthetic. The society was manufactured in a test tube therefore, it was factory made. The people were born and developed in the test tubes, so their human nature became adapted so an individual cannot identify or approach it. Every little detail of a person's life is prearranged. These people's lives revolve around their community, their existence, and security; never their individual happiness. They are basically living for their society as a whole. This society was designed to be successful but it failed to give people their individuality. The individuals sacrificed

The society that we see portrayed in Brave New World had the same goal. The objective was to build a nation that is superior to the common people. Brave New World portrays common people as being disgusting savages with no refinement. Just as during the Holocaust the Nazis wanted one greater, more beautiful and more refined society; so in Brave New World we also see them pursuing this goal. We can see that seeds of the society, conceived by Huxley, were sown in the 20th century during the Holocaust.

Throughout the Brave New World there were many interesting things that occurred, but would not be acceptable within today 's society. As human have become more civilized the evolution of eugenics, economies, and politics recently occurring events could lead one to believe that humans will eventually have a society like the one in Brave New World . The first example is how every country 's economy is in some type of national debt. If major economy were to collapses it will cause a ripple effect throughout the world. This has occurred once in recent history, the Great Depression in the 1930’s . This subsequently led to the cause of WWII and with major advancements within technology it would destroy the world, like it did before the World State was established in Brave New World. The major advancement within technology do not stop at weapons of mass destruction. The scientific field of eugenics, the improvement of genetic features through ways of specialized reproduction, has become eerily similar to the eugenics that were presented in Brave New World. The final example is how politics run the world and the government in Brave New World is a mix of a major governmental idea, fascist dictatorship, working and two major political ideas, communism and socialism.

Javier Espinoza English 12 Mr. Larry Holguin 5th Period 05/22/2017 To What Extent Orwell’s “1984” and Huxley’s “Brave New World” Affect Today’s Culture?

In the novel "Brave New World", Aldous Huxley creates a utopia world, where people live in a society with the motto of community, identity, and stability. In this novel, human are created in test-tubes. Taking soma to fix human problems and having multiple sexual relationship with different partners are considered as progress of civilization. From my opinion, throughout this novel, there are various contradictions among the characters. Huxley creates many characters who stuggle from their own values and the World States ' values.

Social Perception Everyone has a difference of opinion derived from one’s childhood and experience; this difference of opinion creates a perspective that is unique to the individual. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the unitary government, World State (w.s), requires all of its citizens to sacrifice feeling and emotional attachments for social stability. The sacrifices which the w.s asks of its citizens are worth the price to reach social stability because of their past attempts at government reform, the advantages of a society based on a caste system, and the creation of “Community, Identity, Stability (w.s motto)” through science.

Is are society going to be like Brave New World. Could it or could it not be like Brave New World. It could happen the kids are having sex younger and younger.

In Brave New World their society is taught moral lessons and slogans by hypnopaedia. For example "a gramme is better than a damn." Today we are forced into believing propaganda and advertisements. We are bombarded with ads and pressure to buy certain things, or believe what people tell us. In Brave New World if they do not follow propaganda they are considered abnormal, and are forced out of society.

science, the world of Brave New World is a benign one. It lacks the feeling, emotion and

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
