Brave new world 1

in Brave New World, the government creates conformity by creating 96 humans at a time and designing them for a specific social class and occupation. Because of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon classes, they are not equal and even dress differently. As Mr. Foster said, the lower the caste, the shorter the supply of oxygen (28). They are able to make them less intelligent by limiting their oxygen supply and with the use of other techniques. Nurses condition babies to hate books, and without the influence of books, the people do not have opinions about religion, relationships, and individual rights because they have never been exposed to anything like them. They have created happiness and conformity with the use of soma which is a drug that reduces bad feelings. People are so well-suited for their class and work, they feel that they belong with the group. Happiness is instilled in everyone because the children are told the morals of the society while they are sleeping and think that they are correct. This society is a utopia because everyone believes that they are happy and there is virtually no conflict.
