Society In Brave New World Essay

Decent Essays
What makes a good government/society? Yes, I think we could end up like the Society in Brave New World. If we keep going at the pace we are and keep on adding rules and regulations, it is possible we could end up like them soon. Three main points are one they want children to learn more information faster and so do we, two we are already split up into social classes but they could spread that and become strict on it, three we have the technology to learn to make babies and make money off that. Yes, I think we could end up like the society in Brave New World.
Point #1 they want children to learn more information faster and so do we. They want us to be smarter than the generation before us. They want us to be more prepared for the real world. They want us to have more options for college and eventually a job. Trait #1 they want children to learn more information faster and so do we.
Point #2 we are already split up into social classes but they could spread that and become strict on it. We have all sorts of groups they want to divide us up and pick out the good kids to do the better jobs. They are turning us against each other to make more money.

    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.…

    The novel, “Brave New World,” depicts a utopian society called the World State. Ironically, one may say, this world is far from the definition of what many may consider perfect. In this fictional society, the traditional values and moral that most in our society are accustomed to, especially during the time period which the book was published, are absent or seen as taboos. However, half a century later, not only is our society not far from the World State and implementing the wrong ideas from the novel, but also many World State ideas are mirrored by the growing terrorist group ISIS. Our society is becoming quite similar to the World State in ways that may not have been imagined back in the 1930’s.…

    Aldous Huxley’s Cautions to Society Imagine a world in which the government takes their control a step further? A world where the government controls people by forcing society to be happy, conditioning society to think a certain way, and designing babies to work a certain job and be in a certain social class. Brave New World is just that. The author, Aldous Huxley, forewarns that if present society was taken a step further, it may mirror the Brave New World society. Huxley accomplishes this by created similarities between the use of happiness, conditioning, and science to control society in both present day and the brave new world society.…

    The Great Society Essay

    Throughout history, when historians consider the success of the Great Society, a divide appears, one side believing that the Great Society was a total failure and a huge waste of government money, conversely the other side believing that the Great Society really improved the American life and was a worthwhile plan. Two notable historians, George F. Will and Joseph Califano butt heads in this argument. Califano, who worked closely with Lyndon B. Johnson, believes that the Great Society was a huge success, which rebuts Will’s ideas that the Great Society caused over dependency on the national government and its provisions. Califano believes that the Great Society’s legislations brought down the poverty level and improved Americans lives in many…

    The previous society led the people to tend to feel depressed and like they were outcasts. There was no true equality. When being in the previous society the leaders lied by telling the community that everyone is equal and how amazing that society was, when reality it was not. When the new society, Quies, leaders were able to pick a more fitting government that really did lead to true equality. Quies, meaning calm and peaceful in Latin, does consist of a better formed education and a government that everyone can contribute to.…

    The root of capitalist exploitation by the government begins with the conformity of social hierarchies found in the dystopian societies of both Brave New World and The Hunger Games. In Huxley’s Brave New World society is exploited through a rigid social hierarchy that is kept stable by chemically engineering “different classes of humans who are bred to fit perfectly into their assigned roles in society” (Gruenwald 4). In this society the citizens are divided into a caste system made up of five groups: Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. Alphas and Betas are the superior social groups in the World State. This status grants them the ability to gain more knowledge than any of the other groups and have the privilege of being free thinkers…

    The Brave New World was a twisted society that was ruled by six dictators. These dictators were controllers who decided everything for everyone. They limited what the people could think, and used a drug which was like a sedative, but that had no withdrawals or repercussions. The controllers would put them through conditioning (brainwashing) where they were taught their place in the society and what they could and could not ask/do or think about. From this hexa-dictatorship and cast system the government is changing in to a loose system and no cast where everyone is equal.…

    The society in the popular utopian/dystopian book, The Giver, may seem the better alternative of our modern day society, the dream land that everyone wishes we could achieve, but when we compare how each society functions, maybe this so called ¨perfect world¨ isn't as perfect as we would have hoped it to be. Modern day society and The Giver have may have some similarities, but when the two societies are compared to rules, family, and figurehead/leadership, it seems these two societies are worlds apart. Maybe, we have it better in our society than we originally thought. For instance, when rules come into play, it seems that modern day society has free range.…
