SOCIETY

- All are happy to be who they are, they don’t want to belong to another caste

- Programmed (Like Robot) to be glad that they do not belong to other castes

- All are equal , all work as hard as the next person- Everyone is created for every one (most communist saying)- People are “programmed” in their sleep- Everyone “hangs out” with their own caste- All people are literally made , thanks to new technology in

bioengineering- History is “bunk”- FORD IS GOD

Alpha & Betas

• Alphas are better, they are made to “rule”, Alpha++ are world controllers

• Alphas are beautiful• Alphas and Betas are not mass produced• Alphas and Betas have the higher positions, due to their

intellect, but they are no more important than an Epsilon or a Delta

• Both Alpha and Betas are like individuals, have their own personality

Gamma, Delta & Epsilons

-All are equally important, difference is their types of job

-Gammas, machine operators, butlers, semi-though-provoking jobs

-Deltas, helicopter attendants, cold pressers, screw-cutters, package packers; are mass produced and have no individuality

-Epsilons, can’t read or write, mass produced, have no individuality

-Epsilons, are stupid, without a personality, they like robots, manual labor all they are used for (tool)

-Epsilons’ embryos are starved of oxygen and given alcohol when they are fetuses

-All are happy to be who they are

Social structure• All people are absolutely different

• Everyone can be whoever they choose

• Some people are more important than others (Workers and CEOs)

• Not all people have same possibilities

• In this society you need to work hard to become an important person

• Everybody “hangs out” with whom they like

Class system

• Middle class• Support our economy, and system, without middle class,

world would be very different• Upper class• Provide jobs for middle class• Upper class depends on the middle class, middle on the

upper • “Poor class”• Live in bad conditions, don’t have to be an epsilon to be

there, even smart people can be in that situation

Aldous Huxley wanted to tell the people how the society will look in the future

-There is still partial segregation, not as extreme as in the book

-Class segregation, upper class, middle class, poor class

• Huxley was right to some extent about the two societies, both have some partial segregation, such as different clothing or types of lives, but his was too extreme
