Comparison Between Brave New World and Our World of Today
Comparison Between Brave New World and Our World of 2012
Every individual wants a perfect world. A world deprived of violence, judgment, or strife, in that people create their own worlds, they find their superlative way of living, the ideal thought of religion, and the ‘perfect’ government. That’s when you get a utopia, but when you flip it and all those ideas of equality and perfection it’s different and is a complete dystopia. Our world that we live in is neither, nothing is of absolute good and nothing is of absolute bad. We live in an unhinged society that keeps us going. Sex, drugs, love, consumerism, family, god, status, and society in general face relentless change and are unalike from everyone’s points of view. You can change everything from place to place, story to story, based upon your own knowledge of the world you live in, and the world you live in is such a base factor for your imagination that really anything can become anything. Aldous Huxley bases Brave New World strongly on what he had experienced and seen in the world, and now has a relevance to our current world that we see today. He has taken a view of a separate society, twisted it, and formed it to what he believed could happen in the future. Is it really much different then what has happened? At first look it looks nothing alike, but when you dig deeper you see the similarities and the differences around topics that have faced us everyday. Huxley creates a utopian world where nothing is mistrusted and everyone thinks that all that happens there is right, except for the select few. His utopian creation sets up a place where there is no judgment and a lot more freedom still with the imminent domain of control. Control is a major aspect the effects us all, and doesn’t modify much but rings us in to bear the fact that we have limits and rules that cannot be broken. With his openness of sex, erotic play in young children, use of drugs, statuses, and consumerism, Huxley takes what he has
