Brave New World #1
In multiple ways was conformity and equality in multiple ways.The first most obvious way that the society in Brave New World creates this feel is by producing children using the Bostonovsky technique, where batches of children are m ade from a single egg. Each of these bathes are created to fit in with their caste, they are made to be what society wants them to be. Through the use of Hypnopedia, children are trained to love and appreciate what they were made to be, so they could be happy. This government makes sure that everyone is happy through not only Hypnopedia but also through the supply of Soma, a drug that creates a feeling of happiness and takes people's mind off of problems or whatever else could be wrong. People are kept busy.The society is based on pleasure. I think that the society presented in Brave New World is a dystopia because of the rigid caste system and also, there is no freedom to choose or be who you want to be.
