Hunter Steiner5-18-12English 12Mr. WalkerScience, as it affects individuals, is the theme of Brave New World. There are many different ways to do this, but they are all important topics that would be quite worrying if they came up in our society. From changing the way the family functions, to the way we deal with our stress and problems, or even the way we live our religion, everything has changed with the help of science. It has also completely alienated the elderly from society. Science is leading this new world state which is Huxley's warning of what might happen to us in the future. Science has replaced the family unit. This is true for several reasons, including the fact that women no longer have children. Children are born in a center where the government controls not only their birth but also how they will be and where they will work. They undergo conditioning that teaches them different traits, such as hating the cold and the shock of learning to hate books. Another thing they do is visit dying elderly people, what the government calls death conditioning to teach them to have no emotion about death. “Phosphorus recovery,” Henry explained by telegraph. "As it goes up the chimney, the gases undergo four distinct treatments. Previously, P2O5 was removed from circulation each time someone was cremated. Today, they recover more than ninety-eight of them percent. More than a kilo and a half per adult corpse. Which represents the bulk of four hundred tons of phosphorus coming from England alone each year, rejoicing wholeheartedly at this achievement. , as if it were his own “It’s nice to think that we can continue to be socially useful even after we die. Making plants grow." (5.1.5) Science has replaced religion... middle of paper ... people who don't repair old or broken things, throw them away and replace them. "The more there is points, the less wealth there is” (3.35) and “It is better to finish than to repair”. Which fits perfectly with their ideas (3.35). People and certain elements of life control us much more than they already do. Huxley uses the book as a warning to his readers and paints a very detailed picture of what he believes would actually happen in relationships. like drug addiction and unborn babies that can really open your eyes to the dangers of our society if left in the wrong hands. From family, religion, desire and emotion, as well as old age. , may soon be replaced by scientific ideas and concepts that sound good but are actually intended to facilitate government control..
