Aldous Huxley's Brave New World: Community, Identity, Stability
Brave New Motto
Every community strives for stability and civilized behavior from their citizens. Stability and community both play a very big roll in a civilized society. In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the state motto: "Community, Identity, Stability" encompasses not only the state goal, but also the techniques needed to reach these goals.
Community is the first part of the Brave New World's state motto. Community is also the first technique used to achieve the state motto. States dividing their castes into separate communities that are dependent on each other helps to reach a world community.

Each caste can be identified by the specific color that they are assigned to wear. "Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta Children wear Khaki" (Huxley 27). The lower castes are all clones, but each caste has a separate identity. The identities of each caste helps to keep them separate but also helps to keep them a stable community.

The state achieves stability by creating a stable environment for the people of the Brave New World. Through conditioning, the clones are adjusted to the conditions of their jobs, making them satisfied with their jobs, causing stability in the work environment. By making everyone in each caste type equal, they also create a kind of stability. Soma is also a very big part of the stability in the Brave New World. The awareness of each caste knowing that every other caste is dependent of each other enforces stability as well. "No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability" (Huxley 42). Totalitarian government also enforces their stability. The stability is achieved successfully through the environment that they have created for their
