In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, almost every product has been mass produced, including humans, using Henry Ford’s principle of assembly line production. The society has taken this principle to the extreme, in that they encourage people to embrace this because it is a key to achieve efficiency and success. People were brainwashed to believe that efficiency, production and consumerism, are values of paramount importance. Furthermore, the principle became the root of their existence, thus, making Henry Ford a godlike deity. In addition to that, Ford’s principle is making an individual specialized at a single task, a facsimile of that of the book, where babies are “conditioned” making them dislike certain items and love the other. In that

It may have been a successful way to maintain order and peace within a society; however, its invalidity lies on how people lost their freedom to acquire true happiness. Every individual has a freedom to have a dream they want to achieve. An individual may choose to rusticate and create a farming business, support the military to protect a nation, or be employed in production factories. Each of those contribute to the development of a society while the people who do it, choose to do it without getting coerced. It is simply their inclination to do what they considered apt to be satisfied. On the contrary, in Brave New World, people are brainwashed to feel blessed because they are employed in a job that makes them “happy.” If an individual has the lack of desire to develop further, what will happen? An analogy can be made with students. If a particular learner was led to accept that it is impossible to ameliorate his or her failing grades, that student will never …show more content…
As an example, it is used on building vehicles and electronic gadgets, meat processing, and paper publishing. When factories build vehicles or other electronics, production is divided into different departments, each with different tasks; so do meat productions and publishing companies. Unlike, the book, it is an efficient use of labour and also a humane use of people. How so if they use a similar principle? In Brave New World, Huxley employed the principle to an extreme level; on the other hand, companies and factories presently use it to an acceptable extent. Presently, the people who work on those departments made the decision to work at the place they work at. There, they are assigned into a position or departments to work on, if they find it disagreeable, there are multiple companies that can offer employment. This way, they have the freedom of preference when choosing what occupation and profession they prefer, how much money do they want to earn and so forth. The extent of human happiness is unfathomable, a simple conjecture for development can allow an individual to seek advancement, to keep on improving; hence, people are given freedom and less restriction when choosing jobs. Human society has improved exponentially when compared to the society before Ford’s principle of assembly line was developed, as people can see today. The vehicles used today are produced because of the
