The Brave New World 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.

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

Aldous Huxley is the author of Brave New World and several different literary works. He was born into an aristocratic family in an English county called Surrey in 1894. Huxley probably received the best education a young writer could’ve gotten in England, attending Oxford University. In 1963, he died at the age of 69 in Los Angeles, California.

In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” there is a forceful religious connotation. Huxley’s uses of biblical allusions emphasize the inborn necessity of spiritual belief, in even the most neutral society. By assimilating religious references into the population, specific characters, and science, he successfully illustrates the absolute need for the religion in any society

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.

Women and men are different in many aspects from today, than in Brave New World. Some things that happen occur today, and others are unethical and do not. The author shows that men and women are classified as being the same, but have certain rules and boundaries. For example, having feelings for someone you’re sexually active with is bad, when we all know, today women and men normally gain feelings regardless. As far as having sex goes they don’t affiliate that with reproducing. They just do it like it’s a sport or their favorite past time. And they reproduce human beings by using what they call the Bokanvosky Process. Woman weren’t presented in the positive way that they should be.

Imagine living in a society where every single person acts and behaves the same. Do you think it’s possible? In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley tells of a society where everyone is the same but, compared to today’s society, everything is different. Huxley tells of a world where everything that happens or takes place is because of one’s own desire and nothing more. The hero in the novel, a “savage” named John, is Huxley’s main focal point. It is through his eyes and mind that the reader sees what’s going on. Now when I read this novel, I began to think, “Could this perfect, conformed world actually exist”?

Have you ever wondered what human nature would be like if everybody looked and sounded the same?

Usually in high school or even in real world events, if one doesn’t fall into the social norms of their peers, they become socially excluded from social events. In most cases, people in high school could agree with this statement. If one doesn’t dress the way people dress, socialize the way they do, and even act the way their peers do, not only would they be excluded from any social life but they would also feel very lonely. In the story Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, one could compare Bernard Marx to the lonely kid at school who feels isolated and criticized by his peers. Bernard 's physique and high level of status makes him feel so out of place and insecure. On Pg.67, Huxley describes him in a way that gives us an insight on how

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John’s identities are influenced by two opposite societies, and even though he tries to prove his manhood and change the framework of brave new world, he can’t gain real acceptance from anywhere. John’s mother, Linda, is from the brave new world but gave birth to him in the savage reservation and her different behaviors based on the framework of the brave new world caused John’s isolation in the savage reservation. John decides to move to the brave new world and becomes popular in this society, but his identity, influenced by his “savage” culture, can’t be accepted by the community. His conflict with the brave new world finally forces him to try to change the framework of the society, but his attempt is

Another example of Marxism in the movie is when the circus insects are working for their owner and he doesn’t pay them enough for what they are producing, which is their circus act. The bugs have no control over the amount of money the boss is selling it for but they are aware that its not fair. In this situation the circus bugs are the communist and their owner is the capitalist. This is an example of Marxism because the owner of the bugs pay them less then what they are work. They do a lot of hard labor putting on acts every night and traveling place to place but they can not control the money distribution until they leave. Once they have left their owner is frantic about their absence and wants them back. This is also Marxism because in Marxism they said that the common working people make up the society, with out the working people we wouldn’t have most of the things we have. True in real life and the movie because once the act left the owner wasn’t anything and he agreed to pay them right if they accept him back as their owner.
