SOCIETYS SLAVES :: essays research papers

The books Brave in the altogether World, by Aldrous Huxley, and 1984, by George Orwell, are alike because they have comparable organizations. By using persuade techniques, censorship, and the obliteration of history, the leaders in Brave spick-and-span World and 1984 control the thoughts and recollections of the people in their societies. Without using these techniques, the societies being controlled could non exist, because the people would non be disciplined like they needed to be. The citizens in these societies are slaves of the leaders, but cannot resist or do anything to change things for themselves.     Chiefly, brainwashing was essential to accomplish while the children were young because then it would ensure that they would bend up to be model citizens in the society. Principally, love was disallowed in both societies, by the virtue that it would cause problems. Fights would begin over relationships that would cause skepticism that was not needed in the society. When the citizens Brave New World were young, they were tough in sexual games that would introduce them to sex and portray it as something casual.                ".this unforesightful boy seems rather reluctant to                join in the ordinary erotic play."                                   (Brave New World, pg. 30)As they got older, they were not able to know love, or would not be able to distinguish it from sex, so it became the norm to have everyone. In 1984, marriages were allowed, but on the grounds that the two people getting married were not in love. They wanted the people to feel like they were only getting married to be of service to the party (when their children were set up working with the Spies, growing up to be pawns for the Party). The one they were supposed to love was big(p) Brother.           "You mustiness love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him          you must love him." (1984, pg. 201)Everyone was designed so that people would feel like they were be for the Party, and the Party is virtuous. Peoples reactions towards decease was also deteriorated in Brave New World, so people would not show anxiety if one of their friends died.           "What are these crappy brats doing here?          Its disgraceful."          "Disgraceful? But what do you mean? Theyre being wipeout           conditioned." (Brave New World, pg. 208)They would just continue on living in the society, as existin g happily and productively was their purpose. In 1984, emotions about occurrences like death was frowned upon as well.
