So far, we have reached an understanding of where the principles of life are different in the reality after Ford created the assembly line. People are breed to do things that are seemed fit for society. If they need to work then that’s what they love to do.
“Mothers and Fathers, brothers, and sisters…… but there were also husbands, wives, lovers….there were also monogamy and romance” (39). From this quote we see that the kids of this world have not heard these words before. Or they have and been taught that they are bad words or funny words that you only here in a certain class. So, we can obviously see that the kids do not have mothers or fathers. This is the manipulation of reality. They have a “creator” not a loving mother and father that fell in love and reproduced the natural way of life. They are playing with the circle of life. They are playing “God” in a sense. The desire of having a family will cease to exist. You cannot reproduce so you will have an artificial family. There will be no desire or passion for love. A girl and boy cannot fall in love and want to have kids. It’s not the way it works in this world. There’s no desire to do anything fun or enjoyable. People are programmed to do what the government sees as expectable. If there is a shortage of farmers they will train kids to farm and farm every day. It’s what they will love to do because they do not know any better. The world itself would be manipulation. They do not know if the rest of the world is like this. They do not have the temptation to read a book or ask if this is really how people lived.
Chris i enjoyed many different points of your blog today. I like the point were you said that they are playing the part of God in this world. I totally see this also because they are controlling everything. They are controlling what they will do in the future(job), what their love life will consist of (everyone), and what they will love(job). The people being controlled have no say in what they want to do and are kinda forced into a job, but they still love the job that they are doing. This relates to what God does because he has us on a path leading us to what we are going to do or suppose to do, but it is not as direct as how they do it in Brave New World. Not to bash or anything but I think you answered a little bit of what the blog was needing, but you did miss some points of it. So try to work on that in the future.
