Outline Prompt 1. Body Paragraph 1: Topic: Pleasure Quote: "Orgy-porgy," the dancers caught up the liturgical refrain, "Orgy-porgy, Ford and fun, kiss the girls…" And as they sang, the lights began slowly to fade—to fade and at the same time to grow warmer, richer, redder, until at last they were dancing in the crimson twilight of an Embryo Store. Red is an important color here, remember when Foster declared that embryos are like photographic film and they can only stand red light.

In "Brave New World," Aldous Huxley uses various literary techniques, including symbolism and imagery, to critique the dangers of technological advancements and their impact on society. Through his portrayal of a dystopian society in which technology controls and manipulates individuals, Huxley warns of how technological advances can lead to a loss of freedom, happiness, and individuality. He also critiques how society prioritizes efficiency, pleasure, and conformity over a genuine human connection and emotional depth. Huxley presents themes of control, manipulation, and societal stability that arise from the misuse of technology to create a controlled and efficient future. By employing tropes of imagery and symbolism, the novelist expresses

“Brave New World” written by Aldous Huxley is set in a dystopian society where religion has been abolished by a world state government altogether. God is completely wiped out of mind of the people while fake gods and idols were being worshiped. Religious rituals full of sex and drugs were also being performed everyday. This has happened because the the World Controllers (or also known at the World Government.) However, a questions has popped up in my mind.
The World State, which is their form of government in Brave New World, has already gained the control of the minds of citizens and is working to maintain control throughout the book. By conditioning citizens from creation, society is developed to become incapable of pain, either psychological or emotional. The people are taught to love their lives and be content. Children are conditioned to believe and trust in the government from the time they are “born” and despise even the thought of individualism. This is contradictory to the motto of society that is emphasized in the book, “Community, Identity, Stability.”
The Brave New World is based on the concept of totalitarianism and seems to decipher a futuristic world where science and pleasure form a feudalistic society. The book explores the negatives of a so called successful world where all are happy with what they have but the satisfaction is achieved by sacrificing freedom and responsibility. The book explores the risk of using science and technology to there own advantage to make the perfect new world. The society has paid a high price for being happy because they are all the same, they do the same things and they work the same. The science and technology they used in there Utopian world made the citizens fake and they weren't expecting to end up all the same.
The exponential population growth of the human species has created mass debate for centuries. There is a great speculation that involves the sustainability of the human species, along with other species, into the distant future. Over the years, as the numbers steadily rise the governments of several countries have made attempts to limit the exponential growth of the human race. Some scientists believe that the world will inevitably make the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, a living reality. This is concerning because if the government dictates how the population increases, it will also dictate all other actions as well, stripping society of its individuality.
Author and screenwriter Aldous Huxley are best known for his 1932 novel 'Brave New World,' a nightmarish vision of the future. Aldous Huxley was born into a prominent intellectual family in Godalming, England, in 1894. At Aldous' birth, the Huxley family and their relatives already commanded literary and philosophical attention in Victorian England. Since he was born into a family that included some of the most distinguished members of that part of the English ruling class made up of the intellectual elite.

In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, individual freedom is controlled by the use of recreational drugs, genetic manipulation and the encouragement of promiscuous sexual conduct, creating the ideal society whose inhabitants are in a constant happy unchanging utopia. In sharp contrast, Seamus Heaney’s poetry allows for the exploration of individual freedom through his symbolic use of nature and this is emphasised even further by people’s expression of religion, which prevails over the horrors of warfare. Huxley’s incorporation of the totalitarian ruler Mustapha Mond exemplifies the power that World State officials have over individuals within this envisioned society. “Almost nobody.
When Huxley wrote the novel Brave New World he envisioned a world 600 years in the future. Although many of the things that Huxley writes about is very farfetched, other things are relatable, in fact some of them have already occurred. For example Huxley states that in the future we will have the ability to create children in test tube, modern day science has enabled us to come very close to that very same prediction. “The complete mechanisms were inspected by eighteen identical curly auburn girls in Gamma green, packed in crates by thirty four short legged, left-handed male Delta Minuses, and loaded into the waiting trucks and lorries by sixty three blue-eyed, flaxen and freckled Epsilon Semi Morons” (p.160). This is an example from the book about how they create the children.
In the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the novel begins in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre where the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning (the D.H.C) is giving a tour of the Centre to a group of boys. The D.H.C explains to the boys the Bokanovsky’s Process and Podsnap’s Technique. Within the Hatchery, Lenina is talking to Fanny about how she is attracted to an Alpha named Bernard Marx. After work, Lenina accepts Bernards request to go to the Savage Reservations. Bernard then asks the Director if he was allowed to go to the Reservation.
In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley introduces various questions about the nature of our existence. He presents a society in which people are taught that the main goal in life is happiness. In order to achieve this happiness, the members of this society have given up several of the values which our culture holds dear. This essay will attempt to explore the intrinsic importance of these values as they relate to life and the importance of these values in the World State.
“Every utopia - let's just stick with the literary ones - faces the same problem: What do you do with the people who don't fit in?” This quote by Margaret Atwood goes hand in hand with Brave New World for numerous characters; including Bernard Marx the alpha who has strange and different beliefs and John the savage who grew up in a world that is extremely different from the London's World State. Which shows that the World State thinks that people who are different, or things that are open to interpretation, are needed to be removed. Likewise shown within Brave New World even in a seemingly perfectly put together society there are flaws and downfalls. One of the many themes of society’s downfalls in Brave New World can be perceived as the
