Topic > The possibilities of Brave New World in our society

The dystopian novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, shows a controlled society in which people have a designated position. They are all made in a test tube and placed into different castes: Alpha, Beta, Gama, Delta or Epsilon. The upper castes are intelligent and do managerial jobs, while the lower castes do manual jobs. Citizens of this society are conditioned to believe, hate, love or do certain things required by their caste. For example, Alphas are led to believe they have the best jobs, while Epsilons believe their jobs are better because they don't have as hard work as other castes. The science and technology within Brave New World is what makes this society possible. The science and technology invented today has the potential to cause our real-world society to end up much like the society in Brave New World. Starting from the study of genetically modified bacteria to arrive at genetically modified humans. And then eventually have children conceived in test tubes. All the studies and experiments conducted today are the stepping stone towards a subsidiary company much like Brave New World. Every human in this controlled society is created on an assembly line in test tubes much like a factory. The first test-tube baby in our world was born in Britain on July 25, 1978. They retrieved one of the mother's eggs and placed it in a testing tank where it was fertilized with a father's sperm. The scientist then waited for the cell to divide into 64 cells, then placed the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus where it was successfully incorporated, and then the baby was born approximately 9 months later. There are many other human beings who were conceived this way. This is part of the... center of the card ......between the nerves and the brain, thus making them more relaxed. If the drug soma is exploited, it can be used to make people less stressed in fulfilling their tasks. The science and technology used in Brave New World is already present or is being transferred to our real-world society. It's a scary thing to think about because the society within Brave New World is very different than the one we have today. There are no emotions; you are satisfied 24/7 with your life. There is no family and you only associate with people from your class. Basically, if this were to happen in our society, the government would have to get rid of the United States Constitution and everything that our founding fathers created to make our society the way it is today. Science and technology are out there to create a society like in Brave New World.
