Fordism is what defines the society that Huxley creates, in the novel a Brave New World. Without God or any type of religion, science, and art, people grow up with everything they need, right in front of them, at all times. The society of the World State is spoiled; every person is ashamed to have feelings, so they react promiscuously to get what they want, and whenever they feel miserable they take soma, which instantly make them feel better. The language Huxley uses throughout the novel helps build up this new society; all the aspects of their daily life and their constant inner conflict between being unaware of things yet overjoyed, or taking a risk and maybe figuring out everything.

Lenina saw everything the savages did as wrong and complete madness, and continued taking soma to feel better. She was so terrified of the savages that she turned out to soma, a drug, because she fears so much the unknown. Lenina and the society rely on something that they're used to, even though the society takes soma to hide their feelings, they prefer taking it then to face reality, so in a way people take soma because their feelings choose it, since they're scared of what life could be without it. Taking John, the savage, and his mother Linda with them back to London, brought a lot of attention towards Bernard and especially towards The Director. The Director felt so ashamed of himself for now everyone knew he was father of a savage. To be called a father was a horrifying obscenity, the word "father" kills the Director inside, to which his only response is to run away from the "dirty" word. Linda is also one on the situation who makes everyone shocked because of her looks, "You simply couldn't look at her without feeling sick, yes, positively sick." (Huxley 153) She was the only one after the commotion Bernard created, whom nobody felt the pleasure and curiosity to meet. Again, her looks gave her a grotesque, old appearance, and as well as the Director she was part of a "family", and the idea of mom's and dad's wasn't at all pleasant for people, which made them both excluded from society.
The Language in the novel is completely different from real life; Huxley transforms what is normal and usual to the society that we live in, as obnoxious and weird for the society in a Brave New World. The author modifies the language to construct the awkward for us but convenient for the community in the book; this way the reader is able to establish the difference between the book and the present
