America Today VS. Brave New World
In the novel, Brave New World we learn about two civilizations that seem corrupt to our current capitalistic American society. Americans reading this story may not be able to fathom the two societies with such different rules and ideologies than our own. This idea in itself sheds light on a similarity between our society and those in the book. As stated previously we are not able to understand and embrace the cultures of other people even those just living across the ocean from us. Similarly neither of the two societies described by Huxley have the capability to comprehend and accept the others culture. This was demonstrated in one instance when Linda of the World State is lost and forced into living on the reservation. Once there she continues in her cultural habit of participating in sexual activities with many different men. The people of the reservation cannot accept her culture and in turn ostracize her from their community.There are many other ideas presented by Huxley that show a similarity between American society and that of the World State. One such idea was that of cloning. At the time thi
s novel was written the concept of cloning seemed far-fetched, but with current scientific practices coning has become a reality. This idea will likely never be the only way to produce a child. In the New World State it is predetermined what you can think much like the ideas of a cult or terrorist group. It is a drug that relaxes the mind and body. We will probably never be taking a drug to find happiness in life, and cloning will never become a common practice as a method of producing children. Although there are many similarities between the two societies, there are also many differences. These unorthodox societies are like the Savage Reservation and the New World State. One such difference is the manor of human inception and birth. In the New World State soma a scientifically created drug is a symbol of powerful influences. Children are made in a factory, the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Although in the novel this is the only way of reproduction according to the law. In reality there are many different societies that think much different than the American majority. The hatchery produces identical humans embryos that are later put into one of five different castes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta or Epsilon. In the World State Soma is a scientifically created drug that influences everyone's decisions and makes those who take it feel good.
