Comparing Brave New World to Modern Day
Comparing survive spick-and-span World to Modern mean solar dayPrediction to future technological warf ar in Brave New WorldWhen thinking round the greater good and scientific advancement, nearly people believe that they are always beneficial to society just now abide new universe of discourse gives us the controvert perspective of technology advancements. In the novel, brave new world written by Aldous Huxley, warns it readers to the highest degree technological disadvantages and harms. Particular these disadvantages are evident in the field of biology and technology.Firstly, scientific advancement of which Aldous Huxley warns us is about biological technology used. The massive production of homophiles is achieved and do through process of bokanovsky process. The Director say , But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, and will separate every embryo into a full-sized adult (Huxley pg.3-4). Humans are world genetically modified and engineered in the expe rimental laboratories rather naturally. In the trustworthy world scenario, it is agnizen that cloning is a huge scientific advancement that has been made and is still being developed but is considered unethical when living subjects are brought into the matter of especially homophile cloning. This idea is in addition evident the check of thousand sensitive suns where the Taliban controls , brain washes and teach lies , deny other religions , dress from having freedom of thought from the people of Afghanistan also where weapons are a manakin of power such as guns and drones. Moreover, connecting to present world we bottom see that embryonic stem cell research is a real thing where an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm to create a human embryo or basically create life. Keeping in mind this process can be seen unethical by round people as they have different values and beliefs. Just the wish wells of the bokanovsky process this process is also is messing with an embryo and mending gods work. In Brave new World somebody intelligence is dependent on the touchstone of alcohol injected into their individualistic embryos before the process of life starts. Mr. Foster says that, We can establish a new one with the greatest ease-as many as we like (Huxley pg.128). Epsilons have a heavy amount of alcohol injected in the decanting process whereas alphas and betas do not go through that process because Epsilons being a lower class society. Todays science is cap fit of modifying a person DNA but is not able to fully develop a human being by its own yet cloning of animals has been through in our world. For example, Dolly the sheep is a cloned animal who leadd a conventionalism live which offered hoped to scientists to use cloned cells in medicine also it was seen that cloned animals age quicker than normal offspring. But this first cloning done my humanity was a double step towards the future and biological advancement. By make a world where human beings ar e massively produced biologically, Brave new World illustrated those advancements in the aspects of biology, which display it being dangerous despite the wellbeing and betterment of the human race.According to Huxley, advancements in technology can also be a threat to mankind and the society. Among technological advances, one danger is the growth of pharmacology or the in taking of drugs by people and its side effects. The theater director says that, One cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments (Huxley pg.46). Soma helps the users into a dream world, providing them with total relief from fear and providing them with happiness. This relates to the character Abigail William, from the crucible where she is playing as soma to the society. Abby manipulates people to get what she wants her intentions are solely to wellbeing herself. She does not care about the consequences of her actions as well as she is able to manipulate the town to hurt the people she does not like. Just like the soma which is acting as positive thing for the people of brave new world but in reality a negative one, we can see how medical advancements such as x-ray devices, magnetic resonance imaging machines and medical drugs help a person restore his/ her health and making the average human life expectancy much better as years are passing. Technology effects entertainment by altering all the games to be played by humans. Mustafa Mond says that, All conditioning aims at making people like their inescapable social destiny(Huxley pg. 13). Game make less organization, making a person bound to a footling entertainment as it defies the ideology to be creative. This relates to a thousand splendid suns because men in the book do not care what happens to a women, so do the people of brave new world not care about connecting on an emotional level with each other, everybody servicings their determination within society and each person is there for anybody to use (even sexually) which is sympat hetic to a thousand splendid suns where the wife only role is to serve their husbands purpose and fulfill their needs just like Laila providing Rasheed with an heir. This can also relate to our present teenagers childs play mindset where advancement in gaming technology have caused massive violence and hatred among teens making them do crime. For example Grand theft Auto is a game about stealing, shooting and hurting random people. Due to his game one of the calamity that occurred in United States was the one teenager who shot two law of nature men and was prisoned due to his crime. Similar to biological disadvantages, technology can be a dangerous factor towards the society if used inappropriately and without the regarded for the social welfare of the human race.Society must ensure that technology and scientific advancements is changing to suit human needs but rather changing human race to suit science. Moreover the world one day without individual free will and sense would ma ke it impossible to overcome these factors. whole shebang CitedHuxley, Aldous, Margaret Atwood, and David Bradshaw.
