The book Brave New World is author Huxley’s shocking vision of a future utopia, which deals with the philosophical and ethical controversies brought by advances in technology and science. Religion has been replaced by worship of Science; instead of Lord, they have Ford. Human reproduction has become a mass produced, made to order product, carefully programmed and genetically altered to suit the needs of society. Eroticism for se

The committee found that the books help to develop SAT vocabulary and Advanced Placement analytical skills for students who attend the eighth-best high school in the nation, according to Newsweek magazine. ”This book enriches and supports the curriculum and presents various sides of controversial issues so that students have an opportunity to develop, under guidance, skills in critical analysis and in making informed judgments in their daily lives.”

lf-satisfaction is promoted, while pregnancy and parenthood are abhored and to be avoided at all costs. The family unit is no longer. Childern are raised by the State. There is a strict caste system, from Alpha to minus Gamma, with the Alphas being the best looking and most intellectual, and the minus Gammas being morons. Unlike current-day society, everyone has been programmed and conditioned to fit exactly into their particular position in society, and has no thought of being anything different. Everyone is happy all of the time, thanks to the mood-altering drug, Somma. Reading this novel, it is quite disturbing to see how many of the innovations Huxley first wrote about in 1932 are now reality. This reality is faced by the global society today as a whole. This book along with others encourages the individual to question their beliefs and the world around them. That questioning, the critical thinking, the critical pedagogy is exactly why this book should be taught in a high school environment. By fostering these critical skills before leaving high school these individuals will enter the work force or college setting with the proper analytical skill necessary to succeed in the government controlled world.
