Abstract
This paper examines how Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" depicts life in a small, southern town and the struggles one man and his family encounter trying to preserve justice. That man is Atticus Finch, a middle-aged lawyer and the father of Jem and Scout who is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a young black man accused of raping a white girl. It shows how Atticus is a man of very admirable character-who is even-tempered, wise, and courageous.

From the Paper
"Atticus is an even-tempered man and remains calm under any circumstances, despite provocation. Concisely, he keeps his cool like no other. At one such time, Atticus tells Jem that Mrs. Dubose was a lady. Jem replies, "After all those things she said about you, a lady?" "She was," answers Atticus. (112) Mrs. Dubose, an elderly neighbor of the Finch's continually talks down about Atticus, and once even goes as far as to say that he is no better than the (Negro)'s and trash he works for. (117) In spite of this, Atticus always remains a gentleman to her and never mentions a word about it. Shortly after the trial, Mr. Bob Ewell stops Atticus on the post office corner and spits in his face, and tells him he will get him if it takes the rest of his life."

Abstract
This paper examines modern cloning technology in light of the trepidation to this process as presented in the novel "Brave New World." The paper compares Aldous Huxley's image of cloning in "Brave New World" to the controversies this process inspires today. The paper contends that although today's cloning does not hold the place in society that it did in Huxley's work, the process must still be monitored and controlled. Also described are the various types of cloning and the benefits cloning can offer humanity.

From the Paper
" While there are different types of cloning, cloning itself is creating an identical copy of something. DNA cloning for instance is a common practice in biological labs since the 1970s and involves "the transfer of a DNA fragment of interest from one organism to a self-replicating genetic element such as a bacterial plasmid" (Human Genome Project 2006). Other types of cloning involve creating entirely new organisms and this is known as reproductive cloning as it "generates an animal that has the same exact DNA as another" (Human Genome Project 2006). Cloning is a broad term that comes to mean some kind of reproduction asexually."

Abstract
This eight page undergraduate paper compares and contrasts the novel,"Brave New World", with our own world. The paper describes how there are many disturbing parallels between life in Aldous Huxley classic novel, "Brave New World", and life in our contemporary world. The paper further examines how Huxley's fictional world and our modern world share many social, political, economic, psychological, and totalitarian characteristics.

From the Paper
"There are many disturbing parallels between life in Aldous Huxley's classic novel, Brave New World, and life in our contemporary world, for Huxley's fictional world and our modern world share many social, political, economic, psychological, and totalitarian characteristics. These parallels have become more obvious and frightening in recent years as conservative politicians at every level of the federal government have allied themselves with powerful corporations, and as the news we rely upon to understand our world and make decisions is being increasingly controlled by corporate entertainment conglomerates."

Abstract
The paper relates that "A Brave New World" is a frightening portent of a possible totalitarian state dispassionately to maintain the status quo. The paper asserts that any useful feminist critique of the text must examine three things: Lenina, the primary female character in the book, the role of sex, and the means of reproduction. The paper points out that Huxley's own attitudes about women (certainly less than the feminist ideal) infiltrated his novel and contributed to the portrayal of women as either sexual objects or daughters to be guarded.

From the Paper
"Aldous Huxley's "A Brave New World" is a classic of dystopic literature. In it, the masters of the world rely on technology to control the population and manipulate the direction of civilization itself (Bracali). The opening pages of the book unveil the inner workings of a human hatchery, in which human beings are artificially grown to precise genetic specifications, followed by years of social conditioning to ensure they become perfect citizens. For many, "A Brave New World" is a frightening portent of a possible totalitarian state dispassionately to maintain the status quo. Any useful feminist critique of the text must examine three things:..."

Abstract
The paper examines Bouchard's "Strong of Body, Brave & Noble: Chivalry & Society in Medieval France", and discusses the author's main thesis that traditional concepts of what constituted nobility in the medieval era were often misconstrued, and that to fully understand the concept of nobility of the period, one must understand more accurately the actual society of the period. The paper explains that her intent is to rewrite the traditional concept of nobility by reinvigorating the modern reader's pre-conceptions of the period.

Abstract
This paper examines whether or not Huxley's novel "Brave New World" describes a utopia for the majority of its citizens. The paper describes life in an engineered world and focuses on the willingness of the people to delude themselves for "happiness."

From the Paper
"Written in the years after the Russian revolution, the book "Brave New World" was the author's ironic vision of utopia in which "Community Identity Stability" is the state motto. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate whether "Brave New World" indeed represented a utopia to the members of its society."

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)."

Abstract
This paper shows that a look at Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World" through the eyes of a criminologist reveals the relevance of such theories as Hersch's Social Bonding Theory, Sutherland's Differential Association Theory, and Merton's Theory of Anomie.

From the Paper
"The futuristic society envisaged by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World is a utilitarian sanctuary in which all social efforts have been coordinated to produce stability and harmony. In this world personal liberties are quashed in the name of empty pleasures and mindless sensory delights that in spite of their dehumanizing effects do nonetheless produce and perpetuate a gloss of happiness that sustains the citizenry. Genetically engineered and hypnopaedically conditioned to accept-even enjoy-one's station in life the typical citizen in Huxley's future is free in a critical sense ..."
