Brave New World Blog #1

In Brave New World, the government creates equality by programming all humans to practically be the same in the lab where nhumans are created. The government has reduced conflict by programming everyone to not only be equal but to think similarly in such a way that conflict is avoided. The government has forced happiness by not allowing anyone to know anything different from the way they live. Not only do the humans not know anything different, but they are programmed so that they don't want to know anything different and so that they view the ideas of outsiders as ridiculous. This society is a dystopia because though the people are happy, they can't control being happy and the government forces things upon the people such as the addiction to Soma. In the book it says "everyone works for everyone else. We can't do without anyone." This quote shows that all humans work together as one unit rather than individuals.
