In the book "Fahrenheit 451" they think people should be born knowing everything.

Science is the basis of every world and the mindset of many, but how much science can one take? In the dystopian “brave New World” of Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne, science was the reason of their life and how they act. When John the Savage, a boy from the society outside of their world, see’s that there was no freedom between the people, everyone following under the designated path handed to them, he wants to change the life of many. Along with the freedom stripped away, individuality of oneself is also thrown to the side. Life is an idea of being able to become what life thinks is right, but if one was to alter that thought, everything can change for better or for worse.
In order to solidify the turn away from traditional religious values, Huxley introduces the reader to John the Savage. John lived on a reservation for those who were not incorporated into the World State. John is the son of a former member of the World State who became lost on the reservation and gave birth to John. He travels to the World State as part of a science experiment and to see the magnificent world his mother has described to him however, what he finds is horrifying. John feels society has “poisoned [him]” and he “was defiled” by the wretchedness of

John’s suicide was the final event that happened in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. However, John’s suicide didn’t come out of nowhere, there were events in the novel that led up to his death in chapter 18. One of the most important factors that led up to the point where he takes his own life is being an outcast of the two societies he had lived in. John was too different from the peoples of both the Savage Reservation and the World State, he is incompatible with both worlds. John’s life began with him being an outcast of society and it ended with him still being an outcast of society.
Joshua Melgarejo 05/08/2024 Mr Hoobs English The Cowardice In Brave New World In the book, Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley shares with the reader many interesting concepts. Huxley goes into depth about the minds of a civilization that is built around the concept of conditioning and cloning. The reader travels with Huxley through a multitude of ideas that all share a similar concept which is to dull the emotions that these people face on a daily basis.
Using the dystopian novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and the political philosophy that John Locke presents, a good society is one where people are free to express themselves, as long as they do not violate the “property” of others to the extent that it impedes their liberty (Locke). In the Brave New World, a society where government establishes totalitarian control to attain stability, human expression is muted and along with it, progress in society stagnated. Therefore to create a good society, government should chiefly administer laws and execute according punishments that aim to preserve the “property” of the people (Locke). The society in the ‘Brave New World’ is a bad one, because government has through totalitarian control
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.
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.
Children in Brave New World do not even know who their parents are, as they are just the product of artificial insemination in a fertilizing centers. Most people in the society do not even know what parents are; even the Alpha students touring the Hatchery must have the concept of parents explained to them. The Director says, “‘the parents were the father and the mother.’ The smut that was really science fell with a crash into the boys’ eye-avoiding silence” (Huxley, 24). Similarly, when John is worried about his mother’s impending death and merely used the word “mother,” the nurse “glanced at him with startled, horrified eyes...was all one hot blush” (Huxley, 199).
Introduction: When Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931, he became a part of world full of war and depression. During this time, many frowned and turned away from Religion, while others embraced it as fear ran through their veins. New technologies and scientific discoveries often challenged people’s beliefs in creationism and what was to come. Along with these events and much more, Huxley used his writing to send a message that would captivate his audiences.
Aldous Huxley develops the character of John in Brave New World through exile from the World State in order to elucidate the theme of not being able to escape the corruption that is society. After all the hardships John has been through, such as growing up on the Reservation with his mother, whose death also drove him to desperate actions such as starting a riot among some Deltas at the hospital, John was not able to properly cope with his “new life” in the World State. HIs positive view of what the “Other World” would be like was crushed when he realized how horrible and corrupt the people were there, all conditioned in uniformity to create stability. His disgust was only furthered by his exposure to the World State’s use of soma and sexual pleasure to keep people happily occupied. Everything that the people were conditioned and taught to do went against John’s beliefs, so he was understandably upset about it.
T. H. Huxley, his grandfather was a well known biologist, naturalist and early proponent of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. His father, Leonard, was a teacher and writer and his mother, Julia, was a descendant of the English poet Matthew Arnold. In adulthood, Huxley’s older brothers, Julian and Andrew, would both become accomplished biologists. In Aldous Huxley’s “Crome Yellow” Denis Stone is a poet trying to navigate the struggles of life.
