Brave New World Individuality Analysis

When thinking about happiness and individuality although they might have a few things that are similar are in fact quite different. For instance, happiness is known as the state of being happy. In reviewing individuality it is known as a particular thing that makes that individual stand out from everyone else. While reading Huxley's book "Brave New World" I did see a few things that made me see the two terms happiness and individuality in different ways.
