Aldous Huxley

Imagine living in a society where individualism wasn't an acceptable concept. Picture a world where “I” wasn't a state of mind. This is the theme of Ayn Rand's Anthem, a dystopian novel set in the distant future. “We learned that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around it, which causes the day and the night. We learned the names of all the winds which blow over the seas and push the sails of our great ships. We learned how to bleed men to cure them of all ailments.” (Rand 23). This quote…

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an iconic story, as it deals with many ideas that people face at some point during our lives. The main theme of the novel is that society tends to conflict with the natural being of people. Society shapes the identities of people and strips us from our natural right to act kind and moral to people around us. Throughout Huckleberry Finn’s story we witness how society raises people [of Huck’s world] in strict and conservative ways, which leads to people…

because they are giving this drug called Soma that allows them to feel no pain, guilt, or moral. This drug takes away the feelings a human should have. In conclusion, science has become a major part of this modern life. In Brave New World, Huxley predicts a world dominated by government and science and how the two aspects influence humanity. The use of technology has taken the place of humans in the roles that people hold. Machines can now do the biological, psychological and…

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…

“We also predestine and condition. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future.”(Huxley pg.11) In A Brave New World, hypnopeadia is used to condition the minds of its citizens. During this process they develop identical fears in each infant and they grow up to stay away from them. They recite the same morals and beliefs to ensure a stable…

Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between The Big Trip Up Yonder and Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut are clear. They display disparate themes but use the setting of a futuristic society to show flaws in varying ideas of perfection. The society in Harrison Bergeron shows a “perfect” society through the concept of everyone being equal while The Big Trip Up Yonder shows the idea of living forever. Both of these stories show a possible outcome for popularly…

The society of modern era is surrounded by alienation: nobody has a touch of communication in actual existence. All of them square measure alienated from one another and have lost the values of their culture. Alienation will be a sophisticated, still common condition. It's every scientific discipline and psychological and will have a sway on your health and irritate existing medical conditions. The researcher focuses on one among the various British commentators in this research, the most…

INTRODUCTION What is a utopia? A utopia is “an imaginary place in which the government, laws, and social conditions are perfect” (Merriam Webster ). It is human nature to desire and dream of living in such a place, where everything is in perfect order with abundant food resources, companions, and equality. Yet, it is also human nature to become self-centered and covetous, which corrupts our minds and leads us to chaos. On this account, achieving a utopic society in the real world is hardly…

Joel Stein is the author of an article about society’s views on millennials entitled “Millennials: The New Greatest Generation” which is featured in Time magazine in 2013. Stein argues how millennials will be the change the future needs and express his unwavering belief in them as a generation. In his attempt to persuade his readers, he makes cruel generalizations about the peer group saying that they are “lazy, entitled, selfish, and shallow” (Stein 28).Stein uses rhetorical strategies called…

It happened. Eric and I set up our first bomb a few miles away from the school and fire station, a skillful diversion from the chaos about to take place today. We will have our revenge on society and be free, able to exist in a timeless, spaceless place of pure happiness. I hated the happiness the jocks had; I never wanted to be one of them. Soon, though, I will have something infinitely better. Pulling into the senior parking lot, I impulsively slam my car door, my hands itching to wrap…
