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."

Abstract
Normative social influence is one of the two types of group influence theories that seeks to explain why it is that people conform.

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 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."

Aldous Huxley's ?Brave New World?, 2002.
This paper discusses the characters of John the Savage and Mustapha Mond in Aldous Huxley's ?Brave New World?.

Abstract
The paper examines the character John, the Savage, whose suicide stems from his freedom to discover and define himself as an individual human being. The author feels that his character stands as a lesson in contrast to the mind-control of Mustapha Mond?s utopian arguments. The author concludes that the question of happiness depends on who is defining these words.
From the Paper
"Again, to be fair to Mond's argument, it is undeniable that with freedom comes the consequences of suffering. The point is that the individual human being, to have his or her life mean anything, must be free to choose what to do, think and feel. The people in this utopia have had their freedom to choose conditioned out of them. They are trained from birth, and genetically controlled before birth, to accept their lot and, therefore, they are not even aware of freedom. They willingly accept the drugs, which give them a chemical "happiness"; and they do not miss the freedom for which John is willing to suffer and finally to die."

Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", 1991.

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
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."

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 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 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
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 argues that Huxley's negative view of technology as presented in his novel, "Brave New World", is a one-sided perspective that ignores the positive aspects of technology and how it can benefit society.
From the Paper
"In Aldous Huxley?s dystopic Brave New World, humans live in a consumerist world where all human life is directed by the twin scientific miracles of the opiate soma and behaviorist child-rearing and procreative practices that direct the lives of its people. It is easy to look at this book and see it as an example of a world gone wrong in which science has been allowed to usurp the humanity of the masses. The ease with which it can be interpreted in this way is due to the fact that this is how the protagonists see the story unfolding. However, one must keep in mind that Huxley is presenting a very skewed view of this new world, because he draws the force of his narrative sentiment from the point of view of the Savage. The society portrayed is of course dystopic in many senses. However, in many other ways it shows great promise and potential for being superior to anything that preceeded it. Science and technology in Huxley?s new world present opportunities for happiness and human achievement which are both misrepresented by the author and openly rejected by the close-minded inhabitants of that world."

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."
