The Relationship Between Society And The Individual

The Relationship Between Society And The Individual mod ValuesIn Brave spick-and-span WorldEveryone else is belongs to everyone else is whispered to benevolents ears during their sleep in Brave New World from the very beginning of their bides until their last day hu military bit creatures ar designed to think and live as society wants them to do so, they do not defend individual choices and freedom. In order to make society run smoothly, hu humanity beings argon conditioned to think, make choices and live according to superior orders, which exchange the real nature of humankind and abolish uniqueness.In the first chapter, Bokanovkys Process is described in details, how human beings are made, how Gammas, Epsilons, Deltas brain are stopped by chemicals not to develop as intellectually as in Alfas.One egg, one embryo, one adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg give bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly for med embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress. ( 1st chapter) volume do not have choices over their mental capableness, they are reachd by other mint when they are only embryos. Human beings act like the Creator, God.These sub-human slew, namely Gammas, Deltas, Epsilons, are only capable of working and not capable of thinking, therefore, these people are the controllers of the society, who are lend to maintenance and materialization of the social system.We also predestine and condition. We de baset our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future He was going to say future World controllers, but correcting himself, said future Directors of Hatcheries, instead.Making them sub-human is a necessary way to maintain society, because clever people may question the necessity of the system, which could be a danger for civiliation.As I mentioned before, people act like God in the novel, create people and make decisions over them, thus God as a word and phenomenon is un populaten for the citizens of the new world, God is replaced by Ford. They celebrate Fords day and people say Oh, Ford and His fordship will be down in a moment. However it is questioned by canful, the savageThe Savage interrupted him. But isnt it natural to find out theres a God?Even reading plays, books, dramas is forbidden for the residents, because they are full with emotions which cannot be understood by othersCall it the fault of civilization. God isnt compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness. Thats why I have to keep these books locked up in the safe. Theyre smut. People would be shocked it It also could be a threat to social civilization, if people started to discover how their ancestors live, their soul would be changed if they started to read poetry, for instance.When the individual feels, society reels. Lenina warned Bernard. In a uniformed world like in Brave New World, even love is a danger to social stability, because loving a particular man or woman is a unique identity, which is a threat to the social system. Instead of loving one particular man or woman, everybody loves everybody, which is in a way means loving no one. However, there are well-nigh characters in the novel, for instance Bernard, who fails to follow the rules, perhaps loving someone is a capability which is so deep in us, that is hard to abolish.Instead, there is a an alternative way which replace love which is the pure physical relationship between the 2 opposite sex, which is practiced by children from an early age.Go away, little girl, shouted the D.H.C. angrily. Go away, little boy Cant you see that his fordships busy? Go and do your erotic play somewhere else.These organised sexual games undercut passion and do not allow the individual t o love one particular man or woman. Individuals even subordinate their own sexual pleasure to the supposed joy of the society.Most of the people in the novel are even not aware of the real meaning of friendship, love, marriage and parenting, because they have never experienced it. These values, which are so familiar to us, are dead in Brave New World. These values were sacrificed long time ago, because they surely make people unique. Instead, people grow up in communities, which is very similar to the way orphans grow up without a family.Being old and looking different is also dangerous for the civilisation. Old people are different from younger ones, their skin is wrinkled and some of their teeth are missing.So hard for me to realize, Bernard was saying, to reconstruct. As though we were living on different planets, in different centuries. A mother, and all this dirt, and gods, and old age, and ailment He shook his head. Its almost inconceivable. I shall never understand, unless you explain.In Fords world, people are drugged to look like young forever, however they have to stomach a big price for that, they die earlier.When Bernard went to a holiday, he met Linda and John, who live outside of the community. They are mother and son, Linda look old and some of her teeth are missing, her only dream is to go back to the perfect world from where she was expelled because of her pregnancy. However, when she and her son returned, Linda was deliberately overdosed, because she does not fit into the society, she is different. In the novel, people are capable of cleansing for order without even realising it.When Johns mother, Linda is dying, John goes to the hospital to see, where he is told that she is only left a few hours to live. When she dies, John outbursts in his pain which is not understood by other people. For them, people are only replaceable, interchangable units of the society, being loved and loosing that particular person are so out of their rich, they cannot imagine.In Huxleys Brave New World, people take somma which is a drug subscribed for everyone. By swallowing a few tablets, people feel themselves better disappointment, shame, bad feelings disappear in a minute. People take a few of it after work, or go to somma holidays for recitation. Sommatized people are half conscious they are industrialised to feel happy more or less themselves, however this is not true happiness, the reality blurs with the imaginations.There are only two people in the novel, who completely fail to fulfil what is expected from them, namely John and Bernard. Both of them are Alfa+, thus they are very cleve, but John was raised up by his mother, while Bernard was conditioned. Bernard only questions the systems inhumanity, while John reject the system altogether. Probably, John who was raised up by his mother is more human than his fellow, Bernard.There is one solution to escape where one can live as he or she desire, to go to an island. Around the moder n World there are islands, where people are deported, if it is necessary for the sake of civilization. They live there as people lived before, having children, getting old. For instance, Bernard has to go, although, he is not satisfied with the decision.Bernard started and looked horrified. What would the Controller think? To be labelled as the friend of a man who said that he didnt like civilization-said it openly and, of all people, to the Controller-it was terrible. But, John, he began. A look from Mustapha Mond reduced him to an abject silence.The decision itself is good for Bernard, although he does not know it yet, he is disappointed. The controller he himself question the system and almost escaped but finally he decided to stay. Perhaps, he was afraid to start a new life completely own his own.To conclude, every human value, which makes us individual is dead in Brave New World by Huxley. laissez faire is defeated in the dystopia and only society lives. Who does not fit into the society is either killed or deported. A society where people do not have choices and ruled by others is called dictatorship. The only way to resist the power of tyranny is keeping ones mind active and free. Peoples freedom is always limited, but should be continuously exercised to avoid tyranny.
