New Meaning in a Brave New World :: Brave New World
New Meaning in a Brave New World   The motto of the Brave New World was Community, Identity, and constancy. In the following essay the actual meanings of these terms will be addressed. The term Community really did not have the meaning that we are accustomed to hearing and public speaking in the modern day and age (1996). Instead it stands for almost a lack of Community, meaning that there is no choice of where ane ranks in the Community, instead you are assigned even before production (natural birth is non-existent) your place in society and a person could never have it off what are the differences between being an Alpha or a Gamma. A person in the community is shared by every(prenominal)one in the Community, everyone belongs to everyone every person is shared sexually with one another, and there is no emotional bond because are breed not to have them. The term Identity is a complete opposite from the way that we are accustomed to seeing it and feeling it, in other wo rds it is non-existent no one has any feelings, and no one posses any of their own personal characteristics, they are all alike. If a person were to try and find their own identity they were looked down upon and had to take a figure holiday (soma was a legal drug that took away all of a persons feelings or individualized ideas). The soma holiday was everyones way verboten of having to deal with anything unpleasant or their way of having a good time. The Stability in the Brave New World is a contrastive sort of Stability, the Stability in Brave New World is economic perceptual constancy, clothes were not to be mended, instead new ones were to be purchased to support economic stability and growth. Nothing was allowed to be produced or purchased that was not very expensive and did not require money to keep it in good running condition. If the society let cheap things onto the market or things were fixed easily what would happen to the vast economic society, it would develop cracks and eventually fall to the ground with a thundering crash. The wide society in Brave New World was based solely on science and technology and not on the social aspect of people, personal freedoms, and feeling differently from your fellow man. Science and technology was not only the basis of their being, and the way they lived it was also the sole reason that life seemed so different than it does in the present day and age (1996).
