Brave New World
Throughout Brave New World human experience is manipulated through family, monogamy, impulse, feeling,and desire. To produce the desired outcome the D.H.C produces humans, through producing human you control how they feel about family because they technically arent born more so created, they dont have a mother so they dont have a maternal or paternal connection to anyone, just like the D.H.C doesnt view humans human they dont veiw each other as human and see each other more as "meat". There desires and impulses should be fulfilled when I say this i mean sexual desires because thats all they really want, they seem to have no other needs because they have everything provided for them through the D.H.C. Monogamy is unheard of, they have been taught that it is bad to be in a serious monogamous relationship and there experiences with lots of other people is correct and how it should always be. I think the reason the D.H.C wants to control sex so much is because it is a big part of human nature and if you can control all aspects of human nature you can therefor control humans.

You're sort of on the right track, but make sure to quote the text if you want credit.
ReplyDeleteGood post, I like how you mainly focus on how the DHC treats people. I totally agree with how you stated the DHC doesn't treat humans as important and how they are treated as objects and not other sentient beings. You described this futuristic society really well, showing how these people don't care or have compassion or feel emotions. It's also good how you wrote that the DHC provides everything humans want except sex because that's a good example of how humans don't have morals or ethics in this future. you also did a god job describing how people have once again been taught a lack of human emotion by the DHC by reminding the there are no monogamous relationships and that people are taught that they are actually bad. I like and agree on your thought that the DHC wants to control sex because it is such a big part of humans and if the DHC can control that then they can control every aspect of people's lives.
