Brave New World - Is Individuality a Threat to Society, or a Gift to So
As man has progressed through the ages, there has been, essentially, one purpose. That purpose is to arrive at a utopian company, where bothone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness is unheard of. yet happiness exists. simply when confronted with Aldous Huxleys Brave New manhood, we come to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human soul really craves. In fact, Utopian societies are overmuch worse than those of today. In a utopian society, the individual, who among others composes the society, is lost in the melt down pot of semblance and foundation of uninterest. The theme of Huxleys Brave New World is community, identity, and stability. Each of these three themes represents what a Brave New World society needs to have in order to survive. According to the raw(a) world controllers, community is a result of identity and stability, identity is a spark off of genetic engineering, and stability is what everyone desires to achieve. These th emes are represented in the book by the symbolic meaning of the phrase Children are from bottles and the hypnotic phrase Everybody belongs to everybody else. For a better understanding it is useful to explore these themes in detail. Community refers to the persuasion of one whole unit. Everyone is connected, by their actions toward each other in every day life, sexual desires, and what they do to remove the feeling of horrible emotions. This association and lie, and its effects can be seen in the character of Bernard, a mortal who hates what society has set out.The year is A.F. 632 (After Ford Ford is the equivalent to God in Brave New World and with the available technology, citizens are mass produced. But have an underlying theme in common. The stability of this brave new w... ...ch. It is this willingness of man to make the same mistake twice that in 2000 the ideas in Brave New World do not seem that farther off base. Most people thought that with the collapse of the Soviet nitty-gritty it would put an end to the suffering and an all-controlling government. But with an influx of clones, test thermionic vacuum tube babies, government controls of television, needless violence, and the search for the perfect mood altering drug. Who is to consecrate that Brave New World is not earth in lambert years? As more people lose their individuality they become connected with community. It is with this connection that they begin to let others control their lives and humanity is already headed in that direction. Brave New World should not only be seen as a great piece of science fiction. It should be seen as a warning. Of what can happen when people live up to the deviate of outside sources.
