Annie Madden Mrs. Maya ERWC 18 December 2014 A Natural New World In Aldous Huxley’s, Brave New World, the main goal of the utopian society is to achieve a state of stability that allows the civilians to live â€Å"happily ever after.† Each person is conditioned into a certain class where they accept their assigned job. In the World State there is no such thing as family or any other relationships. The drug soma ensures that the only emotion the civilians feel is happiness. However, along with social stability comes a loss of individuality. Community, identity, and emotions, three characteristics that are natural and required in order for an individual to truly live life have been erased from society. The World State removes these elements because they are unstable and uncontrollable. Huxley shows that no amount of stability and happiness is worth the loss of everything that makes us human. That means a utopian society is impossible. The novel’s key ingredient to stability is that individuality must be absen t. The civilians are steered by ten controllers that determine all aspects of society. Through mass production of people, individualism is lost. Children are born in hatcheries where they are given certain elements that are important to proper development. The civilians seem to believe they are happy and content with their simple lives, but they do not know any better. According to the book, the motto of the World State is, â€Å"Community, Identity, and Stability.†Show MoreRelatedA Scientist, By Aldous Huxley848 Words   |  4 Pagesa curious, patient individual slaving away in a sterile environment.
