Brave New World, published in 1932, was first intended as a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley. Set in London in the 26th century, the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, biological engineering, and hypnopædia that combine to change society. The world it describes could also be a utopia, albeit an ironic one: Humanity is carefree, healthy and technologically advanced. Warfare and poverty have been eliminated and everyone is permanently happy. The irony is that all of these things have been achieved by eliminating many things people currently derive happiness from — family, cultural diversity, art, literature, science, religion and philosophy. It is also a hedonistic society, deriving pleasure from promiscuous sex and drug use.\n\nBrave New World is Huxley's most famous novel. The title comes from Miranda's speech in Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:\n\n    "O wonder!\n    How many goodly creatures are there here!\n    How beautious mankind is!\n    O brave new world,\n    That has such people in't!" -- Wikipedia\n\nIn other words, people are happy but their happiness costs them their perspective and their objectivity.  Their vision is kept permanently small, limited and narrow.  If they were to wake up and see the larger world, then they wouldn't be personally happy anymore, because they'd see all the suffering.  People don't suffer materially; they suffer intellectually and emotionally from deprivation and lack of challenge.\n\nFrom a blog, but one of the most lucid, articulate explanations I've seen:\n\n"Social conditioning also teaches us to keep our perspective small in time and space.  When do TV characters ever take on a cosmic perspective?  Most don’t broaden their perspective beyond themselves and their families.  At best they assume the perspective of their community, their religion, or their country.  These characters condition you to do the same, and you probably don’t even realize that there’s an alternative.  If the media can control your perspective and keep it small and tight, then it can more easily influence you to do what it wants, such as “keep watching” and “buy stuff.”  A person with a limited perspective will more easily become a media addict and will buy things to feel secure.  Materialism helps maintain the illusion of that limited perspective.  A person with a cosmic consciousness doesn’t need much stuff because s/he will perceive it as trivial or unimportant, which indeed most of it is.  Hence, the media doesn’t encourage us to broaden our perspective beyond a certain point (usually no further than one’s own nation or religion).\n\nThe most common way to shrink someone’s perspective is to put them into a state of fear.  Make them feel their survival is threatened.  Fear shrinks perspective.  Fearlessness expands it.  Fearlessness can take the form of unconditional love, service, transcendence, or even just curiosity.  Does traditional media usually leave you feeling more fearful or more fearless?  Of course it’s the former, but the fear is sold to you like a comfortable old shirt.  You become so accustomed to it that you forget you’re wearing it.  You just conform to social norms and assume that it’s the most intelligent way to live." -- stevepavlina.com\n\nAnd now for behaviorism:\n\n"Behaviorism is an approach to psychology based on the proposition that behaviour can be studied and explained scientifically without recourse to internal mental states. A similar approach to political science may be found in Behavioralism.\n\nThe behaviorist school of thought ran concurrent with the psychoanalysis movement in psychology in the 20th century. Its main influences were Ivan Pavlov, who investigated classical conditioning, John B. Watson who rejected introspective methods and sought to restrict psychology to experimental methods, and B.F. Skinner who conducted research on operant conditioning

Here's something you can do to get your ideas flowing.\n\nWatch an OLD episode of the original Star Trek (the 1960's TV show with Kirk and Spock).\n\nLook at the set and props.  Look familiar?\n\nRemember, these things did not exist as real technology designs until today. At the time, they were speculative. Many of the current technology designers of today used to watch that show.\n\nThen, go read Isaac Asimov stories. Look at the social analysis he does of modern politics, in the science fiction format.\n\nFinally, there are two novels you should read. "Brave New World" and "1984".  What do they show you about modern society?\n\nPeople who are readers are leaders. People who are readers and leaders, with access to speculative fiction, have things to think about that can often guide modern society.

Start by writing down everything you remember about the story, consider how it made you feel while you were reading it and why it made you feel that way. Look at the question the teacher has asked and you should be able to make connections between what you have written and what is being asked. It it is a straight book review start with the title, author and a brief synopsis of the story, If you haven't read it, read the first two chapters and the first page of every chapter and then the final chapter...good luck

...Junyong, you sure seem to have a habit of passing all your homework assignment onto us - hoping that we will do it all for you, so that you can simply copy and paste it directly into your worksheets ! \nYou MUST learn to do your homework by yourself, dear - because others will not be around to help you in your final examinations, and you will also be having no first-hand knowledge of what can be found where !\n'Science fiction' is a highly technical field, and the current market rates for even the shortest (but technically correct) piece are around US $ 500/- ! Nobody is going to bother write one for you - in return for the points they get !\n...I'll give you some tips, though : Geology is the science that deals with the history of the earth as recorded in rocks. So, you could write a tale about a rare piece of rock that a child accidentally finds in their garden - which has an unusual gleam. The child's parents think it must be a semi-precious stone - and take it to be evaluated by a jeweller. He tests it, looks shocked, and secretly phones up the Space Research people. They come, examine it, and look even more shocked : The secret is finally revealed - that it is NOT from our Earth at all - but a unique specimen that must have come from a meteor [speedily flying fragment of rock, which has broken off from some other planet !]. \n...Since they already have samples from the Moon and Mars, the scientists feel certain that this stone is NOT from either - as its constituents are different. \n...Then where is it from ? And how did it fall into the garden of this child's home ? Have any other such pieces been found, or reported ?    \n....The answer comes from the least expected source !....\n...I've given you the outline. Now, be a dear, write the story in your own words, and give it a surprising ENDING - to show how clever and imaginative you really are. \n[On purpose, I've not ended the story !]\n...Best of Luck, dear.
