Paper Summary:

Rather than focusing on the theme most often described in "Brave New World", that of the problems created by government control of society, this paper looks at the solutions the text offers for solving the ills afflicting modern society. The paper suggests that there are certain realities of life in modern society, and "Brave New World" offers a scenario where the needs of society can be provided for, while still allowing people to be happy. To illustrate that the society presented in "Brave New World" is actually a positive one, the paper describes the ways that the society solves actual problems by focusing on four areas: the need for consumption; acceptance of individual roles; creation of contentment; and creation of happiness.

From the Paper:

"One of the problems of modern society is related to the need for goods to be produced and consumed. Production and sale of goods and services is a basic requirement for society to continue functioning, since it provides companies with income that allows them to continue functioning, while also providing the government with income to provide the social resources that people rely on such as health care and roads. In addition, people are provided with income by being employed. A problem then exists when people are attaining things without giving something of value. When this happens, the system of production breaks down."
