'A Brave New World\r'
'Utopia meat the idyllic state as first utilize by sir Thomas Moore as the title of his concur in 1516 ( bald-faced New mankindââ¬â¢s Barronââ¬â¢s Notes by Anthony Astrachan).The Utopia achieved by the universe-state in Aldous Huxleyââ¬â¢s A Brave New World had a awfully High price. A price which, I carryilize is not worth it. Their citizens live in as oblivious and ignorant kind of bliss in world that is free of war, fear, violence, disease and completely the former(a) draw-backs of living in the real world (Sybille Bedford, Aldous Huxley: A Biography, 1974, cited in Brave New Worldââ¬â¢s Barronââ¬â¢s Notes by Anthony Astrachan).The characters from Utopia in the novel do not even know freedom. They ar intellectual and contented in their respective occupations and be replete by spending their free time w totallyowing in amusement even though they are all alike in each course of study and represent in much the same way as each other save for a some idio syncrasies Uniformity is stressed and individuality becomes like a sickness and all characters who had even a minor(ip) difference from other citizens in the same class were cruelly crushed into either conformity or the final escape of death in sewerââ¬â¢s case.However, if the price of such comforts would be the ignorance of the existence of freedom, an judgment that many countless battalion have died fighting for in the real world, I think Utopia is not worth it.A. Huxley did very hearty in highlighting this geological occlusion. Johnââ¬â¢s self-destruction after seeing that his beloved joined the mob to watch him suffer is a great peak at rejecting the idea of Utopia in the book.Even when John plunge a place where he could live with all the things that he thought were necessary, including pain, he was followed by a huge crowd which had come to watch him suffer. comprehend Lenina come to watch him whip himself causes him to kill himself.In the novel, Huxley plays wi th the idea of how technological advances would affect society. In Utopia, humans are grown in bottles. No one has a mother. Multiple copies of a single person stomach be made in one go. This is a very extreme way to highlight the occasionââ¬â¢s point, completely removing the ââ¬Å"humanityââ¬Â from humanity to the point that even the genuine person-to-person bond of mention and child is removed.The achievement of stability is attained by keeping everybody in an artificial state of everlasting happiness and contentment.àPain and grief is removed from the state of human emotion thereby removing all the ample feelings we associate with the feeling of being genuinely ââ¬Å" alive(predicate)ââ¬Â.Citizens in Utopia are encouraged to be promiscuous. Anybody enkindle have charge with anybody they want and vice versa. Family smell and the formation of intense personal relationship are obliterated so that these brooknot interfere with the stability of society. bonk is non-existent. Anybody whoââ¬â¢d date or have sex with a single person for an extended period is looked on as weird.I think that the author was happy at highlighting his point. His characters were only secondary to the ideas that he proposed especially considering the time and context when he propounded them. He makes me feel as if the novelââ¬â¢s sport of Utopia is not far from becoming a truth. immediatelyââ¬â¢s culture promotes the culture of almost blank consumption, too much indulgence in pleasure and diminishing of the family.Technology is a result of human endeavor. It allows us to live in a better world with all of our modern necessities and comforts. In this book however, a different view is illustrated. While it acknowledges the former to be true, it declares resoundingly that the opposite is possible in addition. Technology also has the potential to wipe out the essence of humanity. It can wipe out genuine happiness, individuality, close personal relations hips, deep emotions and family.ReferencesBLTC, Brave New World?
