Teenager Success If we are thinking about Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" and how the prisoners wouldn't leave the cave and the effects of constantly and mindlessly conforming to what society says, never stopping to find out the reasons behind the events and just believing that what they see and feel is real. They never stop to think that the shadows might be manipulated and changed to distract them from reality. One might conclude that some people are stupid when in fact everything that…

As humanity continues to take lunging leaps into a completely modern foray of the digital age, it relinquishes itself as whole into the welcoming arms of connectivity, convenience, and cognizance, or so it presumes. What humanity does not seem to realize is that its reality runs parallel with that of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, which in 1936 predicted a realm where human beings grow to embrace their oppression, mindlessly absorb information, and subconsciously ignore any attempts at…

After its initial publication in 1932, Brave New World was referred to as bland and boring. Critics claimed that nothing could bring the book to life.

In society the word “equality” doesn’t exist. This kind of society is called dystopian. It takes the government and turns it into a utopian. However, in reality, it’s not.

Some would say that the secret is to end all wars. Other people would say the key to unlocking world peace would be to end poverty.

knowledge of all things that could cause pain among the people.

Only when pain is eliminated happiness can prosper, Huxley shows this by eliminating the most basic human pains of free will, love, and religion.
