Topic: Describe the elements of our real time world that you think related or doesn't relate to Huxley's Brave New World
In Adolf Huxley's novel Brave New World, many similarities and differences are made clear and distinct. Many of which are already in effect today as we speak. One of the similarities between Brave New World and our world today is how we rank and rate people in our society. A way the two differ would be the scientific level and how our governments use it.
Both worlds as you begin to see place a high regaurding upon how society and its people are looked at and ranked. Although our real time world does not go to some of the many extremes as brave new world, we do have many similarities. Take a step back and look at how we in todays world look at people. We have wealthy, middle class, and low class. In brave new world, people are ranked by value to society. Both similar yet different. In any society ofcoarse it is not fair to place a higher regaurding on people because of how much they make or their value to the world. That would be like cutting everyone who works in the fields here in town because they come from a lower class. Yet what people fail to realize is that without them no store in town would have fresh goods. In brave new world this is sadly the case, but from birth you are destined.
A difference we have compared to Brave New World is how our government is run. In Brave New World the Henry Ford is looked at as a god for many reasons. As you get into the novel you begin to see how much he really resembles how their society is made. Scientifically each society is advanced. But compared to Brave New World, we don't use science to make a perfect society. We use it to help society, not destroy it. n brave new world unknowingly is society being destroyed. But you do begin to see that through out the novel.
