Aldous Huxley

A society lacking in morality is a society that is doomed to fail. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the World State is a society devoid of human emotions, replacing it only with mindless consumerism. They utilize science, a tool meant for the enrichment of human life, to instead control the truth and condition citizens into their respective caste system. Essentially, the World State has sacrificed human morals, everything that makes a human alive to achieve their idea of stability. With everyone

not smart enough. It was just a lot of pressure that I put on myself until I got a better understanding of everything because it’s a lot I needed to improve as in school.

I discovered to learn a word, I need to decide its many dimensions moreover I learned how to use words in my writing. I often struggle with my

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, there are a series of characters who wind up in rather difficult predicaments, whether Bernard Marx is constantly questioning and doubting the basic social expectations and assumptions of the “home” in which he lives (World State) while failing to fit into the society of it and struggling with a lack of self-assurance and acceptance, John is always struggling to accept the strict expectations of the World State, or Helmholtz Watson is experiencing feelings of emptiness

It’s ironic how to get over one guy because he won’t sleep with you, your friend advice you to go sleep with many more to get that original guy out of you system. The moral decay is the fact that Lenina doesn’t recognize that she likes John because she wants to be with John, not just another sexual partner or lover to conquer.

The relationships share commonalities beyond the general surface. Each character partakes a role of establishing a lack of emotional attachment and empathy towards the other in the friendship. There is also the subtle reoccurrence of character’s inducing comfort in others who

Throughout history, there have been many instances of cults, many of which share the common characteristic of having corrupt leaders. For instance, Charles Manson led his cult in a homicidal spree, and David Koresh and Jim Jones convinced their followers to commit mass suicide. It is apparent that in cult history, leaders are the main cause of the tragedies that ensue. Heaven’s Gate, a religious cult, was founded on a mixture of Christian beliefs and a belief in UFOs. They stayed out of the public

Aldous Huxley’s compelling futuristic novel, Brave New World, takes place in an elaborately constructed society whose citizens have their intellect highly conditioned from birth to be entirely “jolly” [as stated in the text] throughout life merely through superficial fulfillment that the government is able to provide. However, the perpetually gleeful yet blind citizens are stripped of their dignity, compassion, values and morals-ultimately losing their human emotions without the realization that

ultimately does all the more damage. In his satire, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley effectively conveys to readers the genuine harm that a life centered around self-pleasure can bring to one’s ability to have an authentic and fulfilling human experience.

Life is about making choices, but some of them can even change our life. Two years ago I decided to come to America for my higher studies in Western Kentucky University. Although I knew it was really a challenge to me, this significant decision that I’ve made was going to change everything about my life and me. There are many things in life that can change the course of a person’s life. It can either make a positive impact or a negative impact on a person’s life. It’s always best to have the positive
