"Both Brave New World and We warn of dark futures of totalitarian government. Both novels warn of a society in which the individual is lost to the collective. More worrisome is that people may not fight their oppression, but embrace it. Brave New World suggests that to be on guard against the threat, society must be wary of the oppression of pleasure, in which ecstasy allows adult society to descend to infantile hedonism. We suggests that ideological extremism must not allow society to objectify nature and deny morality and humanity. The overriding effect of oppression in both the World State and the One State is the loss of individuality; the essence of individualism is antithetical to the power structures of both societies. Though the oppression differs in We and Brave New World, both warn of ominous futures. "

From the Paper
"Brave New World by Aldous Huxley has its spiritual side, which for the society envisioned by Huxley may be various means undertaken to thwart spirituality or at least to rechannel it. The attempt is to move from what might be called "natural" spirituality into a different avenue more acceptable to this particular society. The writings of the Buddha represent a method of giving direction to spirituality as well. However, the difference is that the Buddha seeks to evoke a spiritual response from others so that they seek a truth within themselves, while the society in Brave New World wants to shape the response and create a truth in keeping with some idea of social harmony.

Buddhism takes on a slightly different patina in different countries of the world where it is practiced, meshing its religious culture with the social culture of the given region. Buddhism.."

Abstract
This paper discusses how both George Orwell in "1984" and Aldous Huxley in "Brave New World" depict visions of Utopian societies which might actually be labeled dystopian because they do not work to create a better world at all. It shows how these two novels show the dangers of carrying ideas that might be questionable in our own time into full fruition in the future. Orwell knew that Stalinism was a threat and shaping a whole society around it was not going to improve it. Similarly, allowing science full rein in Brave New World would make social engineering a threat as well. It examines how both novels show concerns with the same essential issues of freedom versus totalitarianism and bring into question the very idea of government, which in both cases is shown to tend toward easy solutions and simplified controls over the people.

From the Paper
"Orwell been talking for more than a decade about making political writing into an art. For Orwell, the first step toward changing the world was to understand it. The novel supports the vitality of the past and of tradition, while the structure of the novel is shaped by the historical background of the time in which Orwell lived. Orwell was directly involved in the such events of his time as the battles of socialism against capitalism and of both against Stalinism. He lived for a time among the working class in the north of England, including those who were long-term unemployed. He volunteered to fight for Republican Spain. After he returned to England from Burma, he became passionate about changing the conditions facing those at the lower end of the economic and social scale, and he set out to join them to tell their story."

Abstract
This paper compares Plato's "The Last Days of Socrates" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" to determine whether Plato or Huxley is the more reasonable.

From the Paper
"In Plato's "Last Days of Socrates", Socrates seems to be the most reasonable because he employs logic and reasoning in his arguments. Socrates leads his listeners through his logic, step by step, to enable them to arrive at the same conclusion he has drawn. In "The Apology" fo rexample, the convicted Socrates has an opportunity to make a pitiful appeal to the jurors to spare his life, an opportunity most people would take advantage of. He declines to do so, however, and explains..."

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 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 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 paper concerns itself with the ways in which America is progressing into the 'World State' culture depicted in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". It explains that through our cultural ideology and values, our American civilization is becoming it's own dystopia.

From the Paper
"It's quite hard to imagine the United States of America in the same context as World State of Brave New World. After all, America is the land of the free. America has morals. It's not America, land of free, uninhibited fornication or, America, land of free drug distribution. However, the truth is there are only enough dissimilarities to distinguish our American values and culture from that artful work of fictitious literature. In fact, World State may not be ruled-off as the possible futuristic fate of our nation. Our culture parallels that of World State in uncannily similar ways."

Abstract
In this article, the writer describes that Aldous Huxley's novel, 'Brave New World', is a futuristic story of an Earth where people do not age, and do not reproduce, but where they also suppress their feelings by taking drugs, and do not 'experience' life as we understand it. The writer concentrates on the character of John the Savage that is one of the last characters that 'Brave New World' introduces to the reader. It is clear from the novel that John the Savage ultimately destroys all those from the World State that he comes to know regularly. The writer discusses that even John himself is finally destroyed by his interaction with the world: unable to face the mounting pressure to 'perform' his self-flagellation for the viewing public, and saddened by his beating of Lenina, he commits suicide. The writer concludes that Huxley wanted to show that life without emotion is nothing, and so those who are confronted by emotion in the shape of John the savage must be punished.

From the Paper
"However, John has not been raised in isolation from the Savages, and is therefore able to read literature which would have been unavailable in the World State He lives in isolation, in-between the worlds of his mother, Linda, and that of his adopted tribe. His story makes clear that he has not been totally accepted by the tribe; and later events make it clear that he will not be accepted by the World State either.
"The personality of John, as is revealed in the first chapters, is that of a rather enthusiastic, naive young man. He does not realize that Bernard and Lenina are revolted by him, at this stage he does not understand the differences between his present life, and the World State ...
