Dystopia Aldous Huxley uses many political and social issues such as drugs, sex, and brainwashing to create the theme of the novel. He also uses diction and details to emphasize the theme. The World State’s use of conditioning centers forces the whole of the society to find the value in spontaneous sex and drug usage. He uses satire to reveal that he does not want bokanovskfiy indefinitely because it would take away all individuality. The drug usage in the novel Brave New World is outrageous and endless. All groups of people offer drugs to their friends when they “look glum” (60). By telling them “what you need is a gramme of soma”, people are accustomed to suppressing their feelings in outrageous manners (60). The children also take soma

The children don't have the hormones or urge to have sex at the age they are so the director gives the “sex-hormone chewing gum.” The book mentions Benito taking this gum in chapter 4, “ taking out a packet of sex-hormone chewing gum, stuffed a plug into hs cheek and walked towards the hangers, ruminating.” The author uses diction in this quote when he uses the word “ruminating,” by using this word he makes the reader thinks of benito chewing on the sex-hormone gum like a cow chewing a cud. The children also go to the “feelies” were they watch “a love scene on a bearskin rug that they say is just marvellous.”(35). All the kids are taught at a young age that monogamy is basically a sin and they will get in trouble for being with just one man. Fanny is accustomed to these rules and always follows them, that's why when Lenina was talking about Henry Foster Fanny encouraged her to be careful because “it's such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man.”(41).

The children are taught as baby's all the rules and how they are supposed to act and feel through headphones as recordings whisper in there ears while they are sleeping. Different recordings teach different things. Some teach that “ending is better than mending. The more stitches the less riches.”(49) this teaches the children to just throw away their clothes instead of mending them kind of like showing them they are to good for worn out clothes. The conditioning also removes self identity from the children by the bokanovsky process. This process takes one single embryo and divides it “from eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before.”(6). This absolutely eliminates identity when almost everyone looks the same and everyone is nurtured the same so, there is nothing unique about anyone. Also if one's different, one's bound to be lonely. They're beastly to one. Do you know, they shut me out of everything.” (137) .They do this because they don't like anyone who is not like everyone, they like to stick to the rules. They also eliminate identity to make someone feel powerless because “The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead him astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately… murder
