    Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) is a satirical novel that presents grossly exaggerated and absurd constructs as the norm. This World State is described as the ideal place; it is the best thing that happened for humanity. It is civilized civilization. The World State is full of everything one could ever want: sex without commitment, easy access to drugs, and essentially guarantees a state of being content through conditioning. Moreover, death is no longer something to fear and feelings do not exist in their full spectrum. It is through Huxley’s use of satire and presentation of these ideals that made me aware of how those aspects form my definition of what it is to be uniquely human.…

    Huxley grew up in a conservative, rich, and elite English family during the early 20th century. He lived through World War I, the roaring 20’s, and part of the Great Depression before he began writing Brave New World, giving him a wealth of issues to expound upon in the novel. As a conservative Englishman, Huxley feared both rapid progress and the growing communist and fascist powers in Europe, giving rise to his predictions about the future of art and the role of government. The terror instilled in him by nearby change and unrest likely lead to the inaccuracy and, in some cases, the reversal of his predictions. Huxley was able to see the importance of the issues addressed in Brave New World, but ultimately the predictions themselves are actually inaccurate due to the perspective of…

    The novel “Brave New World” should be kept in the high school curriculum because it creates concepts that are similarly based on today’s values. However, some may find it offensive due to some fragments of the literary work, and believe it should be banned from high school curriculum, but one is not intended to receive any misleading advice or become influenced based on the novels content. The novel provides a very vivid image of a dystopian society and that was Huxley’s intention and nothing…

    I can sort of understand what Mr. Huxley is trying to say about the world in his book "A Brave New World" is sort of what he sees happening in the world that we live in. Through the ways that we raise our children, to how we look at things physiologically. To the way things are brought up to this world. He makes it seem in his that we live in a world were an actual God exists. In the end, in Mr. Huxley's perspective, he sees our world turning for the worst.…

    Living in the new industrial cities often meant settling for poor housing, sometimes with little heat and no sanitation. Factories offered jobs, but the pay was low, the hours were long, and the work was back-breaking and often dangerous. Many jobs involved rigid and monotonous routines amid smoke and deafening noise; moreover, supervisors closely monitored their workers and tolerated no complaint. In short, companies treated workers—especially immigrants, who spoke little English—as little more than muscle power. Because they needed wages to live, and because they were not organized to demand better working conditions, workers had little choice but to take whatever work they could find. Most of [the immigrant workers] who came to the United States to pursue their dreams found that life was far from easy.…
