Brave New World Analysis

Improved Essays
In the book Brave New World, there is a world where everything has become industrialized, including the people. To create an indestructible society, how people think and what they do is controlled before they even are born. I was disgusted when I read how babies are treated in this story to reach this goal of a rich society. Nobody in this story gets to decide their own future. They are all born in tubes and deprived of nutrients and oxygen until they are perfect or inhibited. As they grow into babies from infants they begin to “condition” them. They are harshly taught their place in society through shocks and dull apparel. Eventually children are taught the ways of society in another way. Children are taught about sex at an extremely young age and it bothers me how little anybody cares about it. The way people are treated at such young ages bothers me greatly. Before people are even born, they are created with gametes in test tubes. They are made in a factory like a product. Workers label people as Alphas, Betas, Delta, or Epsilons. The unborn infants are then deprived of what they need to live until they reach the correct level of …show more content…
When they are born they are kept in the factory, to be “conditioned.” Babies are dressed in whatever they are destined to wear for life so they can get used to it. To teach a group of Delta children how they will live, they were teased with flowers and shiny picture books in the sunlight. When they reach for them like a baby would, they are shocked. It’s so sad and evil how people treated babies and forced them to learn that they can never have the happiness they wanted. A group of students watched this and thought of it like it was the right thing to do. I can’t stand how the people in this world just allow cruel treatment to children because in our world we understand that at such a young age, we deserve to live happy lives and allow people to decide for themselves what they want to

    Not only this, but Brave New World is more relevant to the modern world as it encapsulates the gathered feeling of apathy and aversion of feelings among the people in the real world, as apposed to 1984 which slightly refers to this attitude. The people in Brave New World live in a world free of negative emotions due to the elimination of families, religion, and books. Back in the Condition Center the Director explains the burden such institutions brought upon the people of the past, reasoning, “What with mothers and lovers, what with prohibitions they were not conditioned to obey,what with the temptations and lonely remorses.. they were forced feel strongly. And feeling strongly (and strongly, what was more, in solitude, in hopeless individual…

    There are many parallels drawn between our present day society and the society portrayed in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. The World State is portrayed as being extremely organized and structured due to the way that the government regulates and controls every aspect of it. However, their society is completely centered around efficiency of production and the consumption of the services being provided. In Neil Postman’s article, he states that our society has a striking similarity to that of The World State, and he makes this point through a multitude of assertions.…

    Formal Outline Thesis: Brave New World describes a societal class systems promoting isolation of the individual, separation of responsibilities, and conditioning from government to attain a utopian society; Aldous Huxley’s surroundings in the 1930’s inspire his formulation of this class system. World State promotes a community working like a single mind mimicking a well oiled machine; however, the individual experiences isolation from the caste system because conformity can not be accomplished. Totalitarian government forces control over all aspects of the lives of people, but Huxley embraces people facing government forces like “mindless robots” (Brave). The citizens in the caste system fail to realize that World State stripped them of their…

    The argument that Thomas generates in the passage is that humans are genetically crafted to make mistakes in their lives. These mistakes are not important, but what can be done after the mistakes have been found and how it can be improved is. He supports his argument with a scenario of how a corporation or government must work like a computer in order to function properly, but there is always a flaw in the system like “a wrong buffer” or “a decimal misplaced in reading counts”. These mistakes opens a path for correction and new ideas. Mistakes are an essential element in any human’s life for it to function at its entirety.…

    Prompt 1: Which dystopian vision of the future became the more accurate vision? I believe 1984 became the more accurate version because of its similarities with 2017 in social structure, technology, and its society as a whole. Their similarities in social structure consist of of having classes from lowest to greatest such as proles, the party, and big brother. All of which are similar to our classes of lower class, middle class, and upper class. The proles are considered to be the average everyday people living in society which to us is our lower and middle class while the party is the high ranking officials and politicians that have a say in what the nation does is similar to our 1%, the upper class with big brother being the head of the nation.…

    Once “born” and put into the designated social caste, begins the conditioning of what one is meant to fear and how to live within society. Obviously, this topic is a point of contrast between the novel and modern America. In today’ society, one must have sexual intercourse, or a sperm donor to conceive a child. Unlike Brave New World, children are not genetically bred to fit into a specific social caste; they are born between two people who combine their genetics to create a child who is their own…
