My main claim is that we do need non-conformist in our society. Non-conformist are needed so society and the world we live in can change. This includes inventors that have made powerful impacts in our world and community that are non-conformist. In fact, Thomas Edison could have been known as a non-conformist for inventing the light bulb. Furthermore, Albert Einstein a genius that did not graduate high school, but invented the atomic bomb. As I have stated, nonconformist are needed in our…

characteristics of Mankind, in this “utopia,” are incomprehensible to the mechanical creatures that inhabit this brave new world. If, then, humans are separated from their greatest achievements and most defining traits, are they still fully human? Huxley heavily implies that, by achieving utopia, the human race…

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…

As human being are always scare from our present and trying to voice mistakes we have done in the past. Mankind is always trying to predict the future in a way that would his present. As in “looking backward” Bellamy tried to imagine how the future would be. In his book he presented different kind of scientific field for example physics, economic, and social science. The Author tried to prove that his system would work better than the current system. Also he predicted new invention based on the…

In the novel “Anthem”, written by Ayn Rand, the main character, Equality, is an egoist. As he reaches the end of his life as a citizen in a collectivist society, he realizes that the only opinion that matters is his own. Equality’s main motivation is to change his life in ways that makes him happy, and he has every right to that. If society was motivated in this way, then the world would be different, however the change would not be drastic. Equality relies on himself to make a change in his…

The author's message in the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is simple; society's ideal image of equality is not only unachievable, but damaging. The first thing that shows this is undoubtedly how unrealistic this form of reality would be to enforce. In modernity, the government is having difficulties with just everyday crime as shown by living in Surrey. To implement a scheme akin to the handicap system even with the introduction of a more authoritative government as shown…

Anthem, written by Ayn Rand, portrays a totalitarian world of the future that is technologically primitive. A totalitarian government is a political authority that exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life. In this book, Equality 7-2521 and the society he lived in, are controlled by the World Council that uses the most basic forms of technology, such as candles instead of electricity. Enslaved to serve others, they were not allowed independent thinking nor did they…

Huxley Uses the excessive consumption of brave new world citizens to satirize the modern obsession with material possessions. The world in Brave new world focuses on technological process. The morals of the society are focused on economy, industry, and improvement. This novel can be seen as a future prophecy of technology dominating a society, and how it changes one's culture. The idea of a perfect life or utopia is shown through invention and technology. “But old clothes are beastly,’ continued…

many people, because everyone deserves a moment to show their true self and be genuinely happy. Take a second and think about how different your life would be if you lived in the “world state” life. As we analyze the book “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, we criticize the controlled life the characters have in the book but in reality there are many things that our lives have in common with their fictional world. In the first…

Carson Honeycutt 1B Edward Said states that exile is both “terrible to experience” and “enriching.” Though these assertions may seem very contradictory, Said is correct in that the two work hand in hand. In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, unusual events and environments are far from rare. These experiences highlight the heart wrenching effects of being torn from the familiarity of a homeland that protagonist, John the Savage, ultimately comes to terms with. Through his exile,…
