Social Condition In Brave New World

The world as we know it today is very far from perfect. Conflicts rise up over the simplest of matters, people complain about differences and about being unhappy. However, in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the people are the exact opposite. Everyone one is always happy and the human race is presented with the absolute best living conditions it could ever want. However, the world presented does come at some price to its peoples. The world state, which Huxley writes, creates the ideal environment for human survival but sacrifices the individual humanity of its members.
In order for any world or society to function, there is the obvious need for people. However, when an individual is born they can acquire dreams, passions, preferences and more

No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability” one of the world controllers states for the reason of explaining why the fictional world exists in its own current condition (42). The way in which Huxley writes this passage explains a great deal in regards to his world. In truth, a social structure can only stand if there is a mutual agreement in many regards. However, if an individual were to go beyond those set agreements they would be a detriment to the society and in this case, human survival as a whole. Therefore, before going any further in the book Huxley highlights currently, as well as prior, that everyone in most regards is literally the same person copied and pasted. Obviously, in the set caste system present in the world there exist differences, but within the set castes themselves, there are few exceptions to their own stereotypes. An Alpha will act like an Alpha as much as an Epsilon will act as an Epsilon. This whole system of castes and conditioning work to create and ideal, predictable, stability with few outliers. This absolute stability then can assure fully the safety of the continuation of the human race as a whole further outlining how perfect the world is for the survival of the human race. The theoretics behind the entirety of this system is almost perfectly sound however; the humanity of the individual becomes a sacrifice for the greater good of the

Even then, Huxley writes, when speaking of birth statistics, “…nearly eleven thousand brothers and sisters in a hundred batches of identical twins, all within two years of the same age” (8). Going beyond their intellectual standings, the people of the brave new world hold not even a shred of physical identity. They really truly are almost expendable clay soldiers. As dark as that may sound, it is an entirely necessary evil. In the grand scheme of the survival of the human race, individualism is nonexistent. The only important aspect of the survival of the human population is that all the workers are working and complying with the same rules. It is only whenever an individual becomes selfish that problems arise. Whenever someone inserts themselves before the greater good, conflicts can become present. For instance, if someone wants to become rich and not work ever, that individual becomes useless to the hard working, drone society. They simply do not fit into their collective, caste molds and therefore the controller of society removes them from the society in order to reach stability. Again, the end goal is stability nothing more nothing less. In addition to keep such a stable world, not only the physical and intellectual sides of people would need to be kept in check, but
