Brave New World

Throughout the story, it is shown how the Fordian society is much more advanced technologically than the Savage Reservation. Because the Reservation is not fully equipped with well-developed machinery to do all their work for them, they must learn to do it themselves. Unlike the Fordians, the Savages are taught functional skills, such as stitching up simple tears and weaving.

They are also taught self-control in how they are prohibited free sex. For instance, in families the parents must care for, love, and nurture their children as best they can in order for them to develop. Above all, the 'Savages' can express their inner soul far more effectively than their industrial counterparts. Things must be tended to for growth, like seeds.

These emotions can be used as learning experiences and certainly help all of them to grow.

The Savages are not withheld from feeling emotion, and are encouraged to deal with them, rather than ignore them.

Since the industrial revolution, human kind has placed great emphasis on technological change. For example, when the angry women come to hurt Linda, John tries to protect her and ends up himself getting hurt. This is shown is the contempt the Savage boys show towards John because he is different, and the pain John feels.
