Urgent! BNW chapter 7-8

In Chapter 4, Lenina rides up to the roof in an elevator operated by a monkey-like “Epsilon Minus Semi-Moron,” who lives in a “dark annihilating stupor” (59). In the World State, humansare bred to fit into castes ranging from Alpha Plus to Epsilon Minus. Each individual is bred to have the appropriate amount of intelligence for the job to which he or she will be assigned and then is conditioned to be happy doing that job. Although Alpha Plus Bernard Marx seems to be a little too bright to be completely satisfied with his job, the elevator operator appears to be happy with his existence. Is this caste system with its careful breeding and conditioning superior to the somewhat random way that people are educated and employed in our society? Use evidence to support your answer.

Answer 1

The caste system presented in "Brave New World" is not superior to the way people are educated and employed in real society, due to the suppression of freedom and lack of possibilities.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Although the castes created in "Brave New World" allow all people to have an occupation to which they are conditioned to find happiness, this system suppresses people's freedom.

• Without freedom, individuals cannot explore their talents and seek improvements in their professional and academic lives.

• In this case, this caste system prevents the creation of unoccupied and unhappy people, but these people have no chance of changing their lives if they do not fit into this pattern of happiness.

The way people are educated and employed in the real world does not guarantee occupation and happiness, but allows people to look for better jobs and more comfortable situations that allow for happiness and freedom.
