Brave New World: The Key to Happiness :: Brave New World
Brave spick-and-span World  The Key to Happiness        The novel, Brave virgin World is like no other, it predicts a future overpowered by engineering science where the people have no religion. Has Huxley written close to a corrupting way of life or has he discovered the key to a perfect world that should be called Utopia?  The society presented in the novel is as completely rational as our have got and all the precautions that are taken are needed to preserve their lifestyle. However different and horrible as the lives of individuals seem to be, in actuality they are much better than ours are. While galore(postnominal) swear that the government controlled word, religion, the strict class system, the restraint of history, culture, the arts and books, and the obsolete need for parents and love are contradictory to Utopia, these aspects of society are very conducive to Utopia. The first argument that would contradict the fact that Brave New World is a Utopia is the government controlling the world, causing the loss of emancipation and liberty of the people. Is it really that bad that iodin government controls the world?  Does the modern structure of world government meet the needs of the people?  argon millions starving?  Do millions more search in vain for acidify every day?   In Utopia, the people dont have to worry astir(predicate) having a job.  One must remember that most people on our planet today have very little freedom the excommunication being the population of western societies.  Freedom is only all important(predicate) if it leads to happiness, and if one already possesses happiness, then there is no need for freedom.   Religion plays an important role in peoples lives today. Religion embodies societies theoretical principles and values. Religion guides us, gives us something to believe in and a set of rules to live by. However, every society has their own r eligion and the majority of the people in our world pray to gods with label that we cannot even pronounce.  Our current practice of worshipping hundreds of different gods is not conducive to a peaceful society and, in fact, results in hundreds of wars being fought every division on our small planet.  The current system must be replaced.  Mustapha Mond when referring to the dedicated Bible says that theyre old theyre about God hundreds of years ago, not about God now (Huxley, 237). Mustapha Mond is saying that with the evolution of time the many gods worshiped beforehand have been replaced by the worship of one God, Henry Ford.
