Julian Huxley

Racing faster than a horse, my heart was about to escape my chest. As my mind was trying to process what I had viewed through my clouded vision, I had a sudden realization; everything I had believed up until then, was a lie. The world I viewed was completely changed while I looked through the glasses of reality. That was the first time I had seen war up so close. What had been a peaceful town near the outskirts of a much larger city, was now caught in the middle of countries settling a quarrel.…

Is a Utopian Society Possible? I am inclined to believe that a Utopian society could only thrive in one’s imagination, and would be destined to fall if it were ever attempted in the real world. Utopia is defined as, literally, no place. The longevity of a world or community with no faults is unachievable, especially with the complications of equality and Sameness. As seen in the Utopian works of fiction, The Giver and “Harrison Bergeron”, it is very easy to cross the thin line between…

Happiness can be deceiving. This deceit can sometimes be due to an unawareness of the truth. In some cases people are so blindsided by the happiness of their situation that the truth can become obscured. As seen in both Brave New World by Aldous Huxely and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the truth always finds a way to prevail. In these novels, the government does everything it possibly can to ensure that the people stay happy, whether that is through hiding the truth or merely suppressing it.…

stating that everybody’s happy and gets a reply of, “Yes, everybody’s happy now,” echoed Lenina. They had heard the words repeated a hundred and fifty times every night for twelve years” (Huxley 75). Lenina easily parrots the words that have been conditioned to her every since she was born. Furthermore, Huxley is precise on just how many times those words have been repeated. Everything done in this society is an exact process. Things must be done in this accurate manner or the society risks…

is one of the few foundations that the world is built on. Even in the early 1900s, the spectacular advancements made around the world aided the result that it is today. Aldous Leonard Huxley was a part of a family famous for their stupendous accomplishments in the fields of science and literature. In the 1930s, Huxley wrote Brave New World, a stunningly revolutionary novel that depicts the progress of extreme rapid growth of technology, which creates a quite radical culture when compared to now.…

misfits and followers. A follower can be someone who goes with the flow of society and sticks to the norms of society. A misfit is an abnormality in society that can be threatening to the balance of society. In the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, misfits clearly threaten society. The misfits in Brave New World are, John the Savage, Helmholtz Watson and Bernard Marx. These characters show signs of being outcasts in society. John is clearly a threat to society but he is unable to change…

non-existent forms of true humanity that existed long ago before the Utopian society 's conformity plagued the world. He is the only human being that values literature, arts humane emotions, and humane emotions that enable him not to conform to society. Huxley 's intentionally uses him to predicate the humanistic beliefs in emotions,…

Not only this, but Brave New World is more relevant to the modern world as it encapsulates the gathered feeling of apathy and aversion of feelings among the people in the real world, as apposed to 1984 which slightly refers to this attitude. The people in Brave New World live in a world free of negative emotions due to the elimination of families, religion, and books. Back in the Condition Center the Director explains the burden such institutions brought upon the people of the past, reasoning,…

physical abilities and, if they accept the challenge, can make them more intelligent and capable members of society. Music can also cater to one’s differing emotions and help them to understand their feelings and coping methods. It is clear why Aldous Huxley did away with a lot of the familiar aspects of music in “Brave New World”: because music has a profound effect on humans, even though it is rarely recognized. People can express their individuality better when you are involved in music.…

are present. Soma is portrayed in Brave New World as a drug that cheapens the meaning of Sexual pleasure (Huxley). The more Soma that the people of Brave New World take the more that they forget about the emotions that they are supposed to have. All individuals are different, one is not able to create a world of the same characteristics in every one person that one meets; granted Mr. Huxley creates a new social caste system for separation, this does not separate the individuals from each…
