About Me
- Aamir Z. Qureshi
- I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
Throughout "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, the concepts of consumption and utopia are constantly juxtaposed and compared to determine whether or not they are genuinely compatible. Although one could state that the citizens of this world in "Brave New World" are genuinely happy, this is more a result of ignorance and blindness rather than a truly fulfilling sense of bliss. Because the state in "Brave New World" has meticulously given consumption an almost holy significance, the culture that exists around it must accordingly be conducive to it. As a result, the signifiers of identity such as a concept of nature, religion, and self, have been obliterated to foster a powerful and complete reliance on the state. Because of the almost infantile degree of dependence the state has created in "Brave New World" the culture of consumption is able to thrive. It is only through the character of John, who is most allied with our perception of reality, that the reader is able to discern how the ideas of consumption and utopia cannot be compatible. Through his eyes, it is possible to see how instead of creating happiness in "Brave New World" by Huxley the combination of these two opposing forces breeds dependence and destroys the individual.
ReplyDeleteIn the first line of Brave New World, the reader learns the tri-partite pillars upon which World State is allegedly built: “Community, Identity, Stability.” The processes by which these three qualities are achieved and maintained, however, seem completely paradoxical in Brave New World. For the contemporary reader, “community” is understood as a group of diverse people, while in World State, people are essentially manufactured to be sorted into one of five social castes. The modern reader of Brave New World understands “identity” to be highly individual, but again, the caste system prevents anything by conformity and uniformity, and it is through these that stability is achieved. Or is it? Although World State is highly controlled, one can argue that it is anything but stable. In a society in which individual rights are non-existent and people are not permitted to develop unique identities, there can be no stability at all. John’s suicide at the end of Brave New World confirms that World State is utterly chaotic, despite all of the efforts to maintain complete social control.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
ReplyDeletewe parted with the old world, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving toward a new world, the world of Communism. We shall never turn off that road!? He further reassures his Communist colleagues: ?Comrades, do not be concerned about all that you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption.
ReplyDelete"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
