Abstract
This paper discusses how the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley portrays the theme of anti-nationalism and the want for freedom. The writer describes how the society in "Brave New World" dealt with their national laws in this botched utopian science fictionally driven society. The author states that the novel is a classic example of the way a story can portray the desire for freedom.

From the Paper
"The novel is based on a science fictional driven society. The members of society are required to take daily grams of soma to battle depression and people are born in laboratories instead of to their parents at home or in hospitals. Those who choose to go to the movies are subjected to one movie, a movie called Feelie that is designed to stimulate senses of sight hearing and touch(Huxley, 1998)."

Abstract
Normative social influence is one of the two types of group influence theories that seeks to explain why it is that people conform. In terms of the normative social influence theory, people conform because they deeply desire to conform to the expectations of their group, and so be accepted and liked. This paper examines how this theory applies to Aldous Huxley's novel, "Brave New World, noting that most of the people in the novel conform.

Abstract
This paper explains that early 20th century events, such as the Red Scare of 1919 and the Bolshevik Revolution, influenced Aldous Huxley's themes in "Brave New World". The author points out that the government depicted in this book has parallels to communism as clearly shown by the government's production and conditioning of human lives, which directly relates to the fears of communism in the early nineteenth century. The paper suggests that "Brave New World" represents the mass production and consumerism, typical of the capitalist society of England in which Huxley grew up. The paper includes several long quotations.

From the Paper
"The early twentieth century was a time of growing international tensions sparked by the end of World War I, which left the economies of many industrialized nations unstable. New forms of government, such as those seen by Russia's Bolshevik Revolution, were being established and aimed to provide a quick fix to the broken economies. America, built upon democratic principles, was even experiencing its first Red Scare during this time, which can be defined as "A nationwide fear of communists, socialists, anarchists, and other dissidents."

From the Paper
"Aldous Huxley has been described as many things such as the great "English novelist," "essayist," "iconoclast," "social prophet," and "proponent of psychedelic drugs." Born Aldous Leonard Huxley on July 26, 1894, into a distinguished family of the intellectual elite due to his experiences was somewhat set apart from the family to which he was born. His mother died with Cancer when he was 14, that as well as other events in his life were the elements that set him apart. At age 16 he suffered from an eye illness that kept him from fighting in World War I as well as pursuing his dreams in Science. His work, "Brave New World" is in some ways similar to George Orwell's "Utopia." Huxley's brave new world was written prior to Hitler's rise to power in Germany. The Huxley's came to the U.S. in 1938 where he pursued screenwriting."

Abstract
This paper argues that the reason many of Aldous Huxley's character development techniques are connected to animal symbolism in his book "Point Counter Point," is that it makes the characters even more relatable. It shows that by doing this the reader can more accurately picture what the author is trying to convey through his comparisons.

From the Paper
"In Point Counter Point, Aldous Huxley addresses economic, political, and sociological factors through the use of colorful imagery, which often includes the mention of animals. The majority of the characters in the novel are seeking constant stimulation by pursuing their animal desires. They demonstrate their willingness to regress to an animal state as a means of rationally surrendering to their animalistic needs. Therefore, by describing characters in Point Counter Point as animals, Huxley illustrates the disease of mankind by showing his flaws."

From the Paper
"Aldous Huxley, in "Brave New World", argues that the members of his fictional society have been literally and overtly brainwashed in terms of education/socialization/social control. As this study will argue, the United States of the 1990s is also a society which practices socialization and social control in order to force its members to conform as it desires, but the methods and forces at work in the United States are far more subtle and covert than we find in Huxley's fictional society of the Brave New World.

In Brave New World members of the different classes are not brainwashed "equally," but they nevertheless share in a process which convinces them that they are precisely where they are supposed to be and that all members of other classes are also precisely where they are supposed to be."

Abstract
The following paper is a critical analysis of Aldous Huxley's novel 'Brave New World', where he explores the possibility that the greater number of a population can be pleased with a long, uneventful life having the simple and direct aim of administering one task to society. The writer of this paper examines the consequences of a 'utopian' society, as put forward by Huxley. This paper explores the possibility that if a society chooses to listen, there will certainly be a tremendous decision made for the future of the world. According to the writer it may accept the changes that technology will make, and succumb to science, rationality, and servitude.

From the Paper
"The controlling factor behind the society of Brave New World is the World State. The World State consists of ten World Controllers, who cannot live within the normal classes of Brave New World because of their individualistic reasoning. The World State is a mysterious entity, "founded not on liberty, equality, and fraternity, but on community, identity, and stability." (Ramamurty 92)The Brave New World society has scientifically eliminated any traces of individuality (Paulsell 93). The social structure of this society consists of 5 classes of workers. These classes are, in ascending order of rank: Epsilon, Gamma, Delta, Beta, and Alpha. The largest order, the Epsilons are morons. The Gammas are only slightly more intelligent than the Epsilons. The Deltas, the middle level in the social caste, are of average intelligence. The Betas are typically industrial workers with essentially average intellect. The Alphas are the head of the caste system and are extremely hard workers who hold the most difficult jobs (Lyne)."

From the Paper
"The operant conditioning of B.F. Skinner identifies processes which take place in life to determine human behavior and attitudes, but these theories have also been cited as ways of controlling the development of attitudes and behaviors. The world envisioned by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World is one where science has learned how to achieve that sort of control and to shape human emotions in certain ways. A consideration of Skinner's approach leads to an understanding of what Huxley perceived as possible in Brave New World.

B.F. Skinner is a name associated with behaviorism, a term referring to a form of conditioning theory such as was developed by Pavlov, Watson, and then Skinner. In considering how human actions and attitudes are formed, behaviorists emphasize the processes by which behavior is formed from the external ..."

Abstract
The paper describes all the ills present in modern society and shows how high-technology can be used to right these problems. The paper continues by discussing how, despite the use of technology, society continues to be plagued by poverty and unhappiness. The paper then describes the world in Huxley's book "Brave New World" where technology has rearranged the world and men. The paper analyzes the book with the premise that technology exists to serve and help achieve the purpose of man, not to frustrate or replace it. The paper shows how the citizens of Huxley's New World are programmed to seek false happiness by searching for objectives and personal truths which make life meaningful. The paper concludes that personal responsibility and accountability is the only real solution to the world's ills.

From the Paper
"In the New World, the conscience is stifled from birth, and should it show up in the form of unpleasant feelings of anxiety when a citizen breaks one of the universal laws pre-written in him, the soma is available to dull or stifle that moral twang or uneasiness in an instant. The erring person can feel "good" and moral within himself again. The soma is the New World's approach to the pain of conscience, not to the issue that brings pain to the conscience, and hence the sedation is as false as the entire principle of this New World."

Abstract
This paper deals with Huxley's most famous work, "A Brave New World", looking at this novel's role as the twentieth century's most shocking satire of fiction's treasured utopia.

From the Paper
"Huxley's writings have constantly sought to resolve the chaos of the world. This search is conveyed in Huxley's "dystopian" novel through the death of the individual, art, and science which are replaced by a plastic society. In his early years, Huxley studied the arts and Medicine which he believed to be his future profession. A severe eye infection left Huxley all but blind which encouraged him to earn a living through writing. His skeptical view of the socially free 1920s in England made him very popular among young readers who viewed him as a rebel. Huxley finally won international fame for his ironic satire of a utopian society; A Brave New World was written by Aldous Leonard Huxley in 1932."
