The Possibilities of Brave New World in Our Society

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

In a Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the world state conditions babies to the environment and job they will have by caste. So if you're a Delta, the state conditions you to work in factories and to hate reading and nature. They condition you to like your work and your environment. Huxley gives us a new view of conditioning not by family, school, or friends. But instead by the government. In the story, there is a social predestination room that determines what job you will work in society. Huxley is showing predestination not on a supernatural level but on a political level. But in today's world, we are conditioned through other ways and have more freedom compared to the citizens in the world state.

Life  for Americans in the 1900s was very tension filled and fragile since the country was just coming out of the Red Scare. Aldous produced a book called  Brave New World, in which “controllers” in the book could easily manipulate and control the ignorance of people by doing drugs “soma” and being conditioned to think all is well, fine, and dandy. I think the controllers do this is to hide everyone from the reality everything was setup perfect for them and nothing could go wrong. The government used the drug “soma” as a way to make everyone high and belligerent to the point that the would agree to anything that the world state wanted. Taking soma makes everyone crave it even more because it is

Is Huxley’s novel Brave New World, slowly becoming our reality? Are we becoming the individuals in the book, that live their lives oblivious to the fact they are brainwashed by the government? In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, our present society and their world state society share many similar habits, however it is the differences in our two societies that are more visible and clear. The three most obvious topics seen in the novel, was the similarities and differences in reproduction, drugs and family/relationships.

The society in the book Brave New World, and society today have many similarities and differences. The society in Brave New World is obsessed with happiness. The Government (World State) uses soma and sex freely to keep people content. Our societies use on drugs is widely argued, but as we progress through the years the laws are becoming more lenient. States such as California and many others have passed laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.

Exploit in Huxley’s Dystopia: Eugenics and Psychological Conditioning A utopian society is already an intimidating idea to most people; how can one ensure that the simple idea of a utopia will send people running in the opposite direction? Add eugenics and psychological condition to the conversation. In Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel, Brave New World, that is exactly what he does.

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley constructs satire in order to warn the reader of utopian or a perfect world society who are controlled by government, technology, and conditioning. First, in Brave New World each caste is confined to what the government wishes them to think or do. Gaydosik displayed information about how the government set up the system for society, "divided by brainpower into five classes, these scientifically create humans arrive in adulthood already trained to do their assigned tasks" (Gaydosik). Each caste gets the job, according to their level where they have no freedom to choose what job to do, which class they belong to. Secondly, the world state uses conditioning as a way to pressure children to perform a certain

Welcome to this society where we need to never worry about scientific advancements. Our World has a slight chance to end up like Brave New World. If our world just focuses on mutating and changing Genes we would end up making babies out of machines. These are the reasons our society might end up like Brave New World: Drug dependent, too many rules, too much power to one person. I believe that we could end up like Brave New World.

"Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of the World State in the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, a state intent on keeping itself intact. In the stable state, the people must be happy with the status quo; they must not be able to imagine a better world, and must not think of a worse one. In the stable state, a few people must be able to cope with unexpected change, but they should be unable to initiate it. In the stable state, the population must have certain proportions of satisfied citizens and innovators that can coexist.

Huxley captures the dystopian society in Brave New World, which he portrays to have stripped its people of their knowledge through the use of science. A dystopia is a type of civilization where human freedom has been quashed and people are controlled and told what to do seemingly representing a utopian society(). In Brave New World, Huxley portrays a dystopian society that supposedly seems to be a utopian society. The society is set up in a manner that everyone is genetically modified to be similar by the government. This technology decides if one will be highly intelligent or be unintelligent while in a test tube and embryo. Over the use of technology in the society has made it so that knowledge is not needed. In the novel a man by the name of Mr. Foster asserts, “The lower the caste…the shorter the oxygen” (Huxley 21). In the society the people do not have control over their own intelligence. They cannot try their best, nor do more work because their intelligence is predetermined. Also, there is no choice as to whether one will allow technology to think for them, since their intelligence is chosen when one is an embryo. They cannot do anything but only be curious to know what it is like to be able to think for one-self. Technology is also evident in sleep teaching. While one is sleeping, a recording is played over and

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a message of believing in one’s individual opinions rather than society’s principles really shines through in the end. A young man named John challenges the way of civilization when he discovers he cannot force himself to be someone he is not. John is seen as the outsider in both his original home, the Savage Restoration, and his new home, civilized London. In the Savage Restoration, John was rejected from activities because of his family history. In the new world, he felt disconnected because society was always crowding and confining him.

Brave New World has a vastly different society compared with today’s society. Every person in their society is conditioned to behave and act in a certain way. In the beginning of the book the Director explains to the group of boys that everyone is predestined to be someone “We are also predestined and conditioned. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future…” (Chapter 1, Pg. 13). As the Director was saying they are all predestined and conditioned to be a certain people that are put into caste systems such as Alpha or Beta. In our society today no one is placed into categories and no one is conditioned the way the people are in Brave New World. However, we can still be conditioned

Back in the 1930's when "Brave New World" was published, no body dreamt that world of science fiction would ever come into reality. Surely there must have been a time though when a machine that could wash clothes too, seemed like science fiction. That machine has come into reality though. With today's technology and already seeing how far we've advanced scientifically, who's to say we

In the dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley, “Brave New World”, introduces two societies, the World State and the Reservation. The World State is the more desirable society in the book as it portrays a better approach of having a stable society, handling stress, having better education, compared to the Reservation. The World State has twelve controllers who regulate the lives of their citizens. Although some might argue that the World State is dystopian, it is, in fact, the Reservation that is the dystopian society. Huxley portrays the World State as a peaceful and prosperous place as it is organized, clean, and everyone is content and has a part in society; whereas the Reservation is unclean, without education or structure, where everyone is running around doing whatever they want, therefore, making the World State the more desirable society.
