Summary Of Brave New World By Anja Manuel

The first chapter of the book Don’t Know Much About History by Kenneth Davis, titled “Brave New World,” focuses around the discovery of the continent of North America, the origins of its first inhabitants, and the different ways that the European countries established settlements in America. The voyages of Christopher Columbus in 1492 were important to the development of America because even though he did not set foot on North America, he let the Europeans know that there was a “New World” and that there were people living there. The first Spanish settlements in the New World helped to change America because most of the settlements still exist today, such as the St. Augustine settlement in Florida. The establishment of the English settlement of Jamestown changed America because it was the spark that started an era of English dominance in North America.

Realism is one of the most dominant international relations theories in the academic world. But within Realism, Realists are split on a number of issues. A perfect example of which being the rise of China. Over the past 30 years China has increased not only in population and power, but has also achieved one of the strongest economies in the world. The rise of China is seen as problematic by many realists. Since the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has enjoyed a position of hegemony in the unipolar power structure of the world. Many fear that the rise of China could upset the current balance of power. One such individual is a prominent realist scholar, John Mearsheimer. He believes that war with China is inevitable and “calls for the US to do whatever it can to slow China’s rise.” Another political theorist Jonathan Kirshner wrote this paper to counter many of Mearsheimer’s claims, stating that Mearsheimer’s offensive realism “is wrong, and dangerous”. Kirshner suggests that instead of using offensive realism we should look instead to the theories roots in classical realism to analyse the rise of China.

China and India are two of the world’s fastest developing economies and most populous nations on the earth. The question is whether “Chindia” is a friend or a threat to the United States. Together these nations have attributed to prosperity, but are it beneficial or harming to others?

The beginning of the chapter tells the story of a guy named John that was stranded and helpless. John attempted to flag down some help, but was unsuccessful. That is until a good samaritan that finally stopped and went the extra mile to help. This set-up a pay-it-forward attitude in John in that he wanted to help the next ten people he seen stranded (Collins, 2). The author then suggests, like John, that we are all people helpers in that when people are struggling with their issues, they want the help of a friend, neighbor, co-worker, etc. The author then translates this into the Great Commission, where Christians are all to fulfill Jesus’s calling by means of outreach to the non-believers, making disciples and in teaching

The current Status Quo is complete US political and military domination in the South-China Sea, United States dominated and dictated trade deals, and unipolarity of hegemonic power (Beckley 2011) All of which, if China desires to grow its power, must challenge.

Alyssa Ayres, author of this week’s reading, questions yet defends the rise of India as a global power. Ayres praises the country’s booming growth in military defense to manufacturing ventures. While the world continues to view India as an “emerging power,” its alliance with the United States can help set them up for the world

In chapter one the purpose of the Hatchery in the “Hatchery and Conditioning Centre” is made very clear to the reader. It manufactures humans and predestines their fate according to pre-selected criteria. This idea of creating ready-made humans destroys the idea of self-determination, whilst the later mentioned “Bokanovsky Process” combined with the “Podsnap’s Technique” allows over 10,000 “twins” effectively from one single ovary, removing any sense of identity or individuality. -Conditioning.

Brave New World is based on a future dystopian society that strives off efficiency and social standings. The first section of the book takes place in future central London. The book opens at the central Hatchery in London where the D.H.C (Director of Hatchery) is giving a tour of the plant to a group of students. Here we learn that the world is based on a class system, children are genetically modified to fit any needs. The entire world is based on efficiency so these children are breed to love their jobs no matter how harsh or physically demanding. The class system is broken down to 5 castes, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. Alphas are the highest class, breed to be perfect and in control, Deltas and Epsilons are the lowest and modified to be hard workers.

We know that nothing in life comes for free, and for China and India the situation is the same, after a closer look at this two nations we can observe that they have chosen different paths in the race for the number one economic power, China and their communist regime appears to look like a Lego construction with a new factory or a new building appearing every day, with amazing infrastructure that impresses and shows the power from the first look, and India a democratic country with a disastrous infrastructure and many birocratic bumps. For China the alarming pace of evolution has created a big camp of people that don’t agree with the way China has chosen to expand, many people saw their houses torn apart in order to leave space for new factories, and even if they were compensated with a new home in the new apartment buildings created, the idea off seeing how their history is destroys has left them with a bitter taste. Also one of the biggest problems for China and India is the effect of waste disposal, most Chinese or Indian factories create a devastating effect on the environment, and yearly this nations encounter 1 million premature deaths attributed to pollution, 30 million people are projected to be infected with the HIV virus, 200.000 Chinese die from TB, also military tensions in both countries, or another

This novel takes place in the year 632 A.F. The government controls the population of Utopia, there are only test tube births and an artificial process for multiplying the embryos. Marriage is forbidden. There are ten World Controllers; these people control the government and all of their plans. In the very beginning there are students being given a guided party line tour through the London Hatcheries. Two employees that work there are Henry Foster and Lenina Crowne, they have been dating each other too much and are discouraged by the state. So Lenina’s best friend, Fanny, picks on her because of this. Lenina then meets Bernard Marx, and grows to like him so much that she agrees to go on a vacation with him to a New Mexican

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has become more integrated and willing to cooperate within the global political and economic systems than ever in its history. However, there is growing apprehension in the Asia-Pacific region and the U.S. in regards to the consequences of rising in economic and military power in China. Descriptions about Chinese diplomacy in the policy and scholarly are less positive lately concerning China’s obedience to regional and international rules. There was little debate in the U.S. and elsewhere in regards to whether China was or was not part “the international community.” Scholars and experts in the early 1990s have contended

I learn from the beginning that the story takes place in London,England. The year is A.F. 632 and the first character introduced is the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning. He gives his students a tour of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Also I learn that people do not give birth to living people; they are created in this factory. There are different fertilization methods that create Alphas, Betas, Gammas,Deltas, and Epsilons. These humans have roles in this society, which is called the World State. The motto of this society is Community,Identity, and Stability. Another character is Henry Foster and he also works at this factory.Lenina Crowne is another worker whose job is to give vaccinations. There are nurseries and some of the babies get shocked to cause them to dislike books and flowers so they do not spend time on those objects. The director states that there is sleep teaching. Alphas and Betas are smarter than Gammas,Deltas, and Epsilons.

China and India play a crucial role in the world economy, molding and shaping the global markets, despite the differences in the methods of attaining such global prominence. These differences may appear to set the two countries apart completely, but China and India share a number of similarities. Despite having semblable population curves and similar domestic issues, India has been unable to match China’s economic success because of its limited production and distribution capabilities, but its steady investment in its economy appears to give India the advantage for being a superpower in the future.

Being old neighbors India and China have shared a lot in common like the culture, sciences and also a few economic linkages. They also have the largest populations in the world: India with 1311 million and China with 1376 million in 2015(Esa.un.org, 2016). Since 2000 trade between the two countries has mushroomed nearly twice as compared to each country’s trade with the world. Currently, China is India’s largest trade partner surpassing United States and India being China’s tenth largest exporter. These two giants have a great impact on the world

At the time of this writing, cooperation between East Asian countries remains despairingly low. North Korea continues to fire off missiles into the Sea of Japan. China has multiple territorial disputes with its neighbors and the South China Sea remains hotly contested. Japan continues to deny the atrocities it committed in World War II, including the gruesome rape of Nanking as well as horrific human rights abuses committed against the Chinese. Trade between India and China, the two largest economies on the continent as measured by PPP, is badly unbalanced and stands at a mere 70 billion dollars worth annually, compared to 650 billion dollars worth of trade annually between China and the United States.
