Essay On Brave New World

“Brave New World”, written by Aldus Huxley, is a utopian novel. In the novel, World Controllers are like God, who control the world and they stabilized the society through a creation of a five-tiered system. Alphas and Betas are the upper class in the system, which act as the scientists, politicians, and any other high ranked noble. While Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons are the lower classes, represent the world's labor working classes. There is a magical drug called soma, it could remove people’s feeling, and no one would feel pain or have negative emotions, and all the members of the caste system received a portion of drug. The “Brave New World” starts with Director of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Center making a group of young students to have a

Is Social Stability Worth the Price? Social stability is not worth the price that the citizens of the Brave New World payed for it. Social stability is not all bad, because there will never be fights or war. Also social stability can good for the economy for instance; the children learn to hate books and nature and desire only to engage in consumerism thus supporting the economy. The Government exerts total control over every aspect of its citizens lives.

In Brave New World the leaders believe that freedom and happiness cannot coexist. The logic behind it is because with freedom, comes choices; with choices, comes stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction: all emotions that do not make one happy. By restricting choices, those dissatisfactions no longer exist. Thus, a society was created so that freedom, choices, and free thinking have been eliminated. The people of this society have been “conditioned” (or more accurately: brainwashed) to believe that everything in this society is perfect and brings them happiness. Because having moments of distress cannot be avoided, a drug called soma was created. This drug overflows the taker with pleasurable feelings that replace the negative one. Unfortunately,

In the Brave New World, a book written by Aldous Huxley,, he writes about a utopian future where humans are genetically created and pharmaceutically anthesized. Huxley introduces three ideals which become the world's state motto. The motto that is driven into their dystopian society is “Community, Identity and Stability.” These are qualities that are set to structure the Brave New World. Yet, happen to contradict themselves throughout the story.

Aldous Huxley wrote the novel, Brave New World, with the intention of warning his readers of the dangers of our growing society. He feared that technology and the urge to advance would ruin the free life we know today. Neil Postman, a social critic, contrasts George Orwell’s vision of the future and Aldous Huxley’s vision. He makes relevant assertions about Huxley’s fears that compare to our own society. His assertions are that people will come to love their oppression, the truth would become irrelevant, and that what we love with ruin us.

The utopian society in the Brave New World can be compared and contrasted between our contemporary society using individualism, community and the human experience. The fictional novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932, is about a utopian society where people focus stability and community over individuality and freedom, but an outsider is introduced to intervene with the operation of the utopian state. In the contemporary world, people need to show individuality in their communities in order to survive, and to be human, one must show emotion, which is the opposite in the Brave New World. Individualism is very important in the contemporary world, but in the utopian state, individuals are conditioned to be the same as everyone else. They do not know how to be themselves.

With community and identity, stability is supposed to be achieved, but the novel makes you question if stability is an actual thing that can happen in society. In Brave New World, many things are done to ensure stability, three of them being the tyranny of happiness, drugging the population, and the mass production of children. With these three factors, it is eerie how close Aldous Huxley came to predicting the impact of these in the future of society. First of all, the world state is obsessed with making people “happy”. They want everyone in society to be happy to ensure social stability.

Contemporary society is a variety of all things good and bad that one might misinterpret as perfect if glanced upon with a pair of rose colored glasses. While new inventions and scientific breakthroughs, have lead to daily life and communication becoming easier to handle and manage, as a society humanity often times fails to see the adverse effects of these technological pursuits on itself. In the dystopian novel, Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley focuses a great deal on the idea of technology and control. He does so by grossly exaggerating many of the common technological advances of today and making them seem unrealistic and unbelievable, while in actuality are closer to the truth then far from it. Aldous Huxley showing the reader

Huxley’s main argument in Brave New World is if the human race continues to allow science, technology, and material objects control our lives, society will lose a reasonable and moral lifestyle. Huxley’s argument is well-presented because Huxley executes the creation of a dystopian world in which tyrannical leaders are able to control the consumption, emotions, and fears of the entire population through the use of technology. In the novel World State uses technology to make citizens simple-minded and controls every aspect of their lives. To readers the practices of World State might be unjust but many aspects of the novel relate to the real world.

Entertainment Controls Them All Huxley has a theory of entertainment as control and we can see it throughout his book Brave New World. The fact that his vision was made years ago, makes this vision even more interesting, because knowing that entertainment has a big impact into our society for the book reveals similar forms of entertainment to control it’s people. The ways that the book was created has brought to conclusion that our society is controlled by entertainment. Our society has become a trivial culture preoccupied with entertainment.

The Savage (John)- He was born on a reservation where he was taught the values of his people. Love, hard work, sacrifice, religion, and an understanding of the people around him were a part of a larger group of connected people, rather than just people he lived with. When he was brought to the Brave New World he was an outcast because of his different beliefs that he shared with none of his new members of society.

Over these past six weeks my writing has improved in many different ways. In my 6-25-250 piece I really payed attention to detail and thoughtfully wrote one of the best pieces of writing that I have ever published. When I read it I could a picture was painted in my head of what was going on. I also spent a lot of out-of-class time perfecting my writing as much as I could. I improved on my grammar from the practice paragraphs that we have done and have used the bottom lessons on combining sentences in my writing. I have also made a well organized and thoughtful notice log which I am using for my evidence about my Brave New World essay. When writing I looked to my classmates and my teacher for guidance and feedback on my writing. I acted and

Every year, thousands of migrants cross the Mediterranean (including refugees from Syria and Eritrea) in inflatable motorboats. Few however, survived such dangerous journeys. It is estimated that in 2014 alone, about 1850 migrants had drowned on their way to Europe. Christopher Catrambone a humanitarian, entrepreneur and adventurer, appalled by this incident, took it upon himself to find a solution. He set up a search and rescue operation.

The Brave New World is focused on running the world like a well-oiled machine. Everyone has a specific job that if not done properly, will lead to a failed society. Just like a machine, there cannot be any flaws. Technology plays a huge role in keeping the Brave New World running smoothly. There is no longer a need for people to have children, people are no longer plagued with disease, and everyone thinks alike. Today’s society is not far from a Brave New World type of society. Many of the same ideas presented in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are evident in our modern society.

Portfolio #3 11-11-15 Humanities IV My last portfolio will be focusing on the book that we recently read which was 1984 by George Orwell.
