Topic C: The Social Criticism

In Brave New World, Huxley creates a society exaggerated from our current society in America as well as throughout the world. He takes the technological trend of our society and he forms his dystopian society around that idea that technology is taking over. In the world as we now it, we are advancing in technology every minute. The people in the Dystopian society are relying on technology for everything. They feel as God is at least importance because they have put their trust in superficial things created by man. They have replaced the image of God with Henry Ford, the creator of the assembly line. While these people rely on machines and technology, i don't think this vision of a society is believable because of differing morals. Every human is so different and it's easy to say that people would not agree not decanting instead of birthing or having sexual relations with anyone and everyone. It's just so unrealistic. To say the least, this dystopian society gives hopelessness. This society is not ideal and this is a dismal alternative to the freedom we have in our society.
