1 00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:04,620 Introduction to Social Crisis 2 00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:09,419 A central part of the American dream is that people can rise above their status and burden 3 00:00:09,419 --> 00:00:11,140 and become something more. 4 00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:16,059 However, this does not exist in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. 5 00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:19,800 He thought the future would be like this novel, a dystopian novel. 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,539 In the Brave New World society, not only the bonds of family are erased, but people are 7 00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:27,899 also predestined for their role in life. 8 00:00:27,899 --> 00:00:32,740 Those at the top, alphas and betas, receive extra attention while those at the bottom, 9 00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:36,500 gammas, deltas and epsilons, are growth and stunt. 10 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:45,780 We will look at the several castes that make up society in the Brave New World. 11 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:50,539 To defend the motto of the Brave New World society, community identity and stability, 12 00:00:50,539 --> 00:00:53,979 social classes were created. 13 00:00:53,979 --> 00:01:01,579 This consists of a system of gays which divided into alphas, betas, gammas, deltas and epsilons. 14 00:01:01,579 --> 00:01:06,579 Cats are predeterminated and humans grow in the appropriate manner of their groups. 15 00:01:06,579 --> 00:01:13,519 The lower the case, the dumber and uglier the future individual will be. 16 00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:20,519 The two upper cases can interact socially with each other, alphas and betas, but not with minor groups. 17 00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:22,920 A quotation for social classes is, 18 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,319 there the alphas and betas remain and they definitely bother, 19 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,420 but the gamma's deltas and exodons were brought out again, 20 00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:35,670 after only 36 hours to be treated by Bokanovsky's process. 21 00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:37,349 The Bokanowski Process 22 00:01:37,349 --> 00:01:43,870 It arrests normal human development while promoting the production of dozens identical eggs. 23 00:01:44,709 --> 00:01:52,069 Deliberately deprives human beings of their unique individual natures and so makes over processes for controlling them unnecessary. 24 00:01:52,269 --> 00:01:53,870 Quotation about Bokanowski Process 25 00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:57,730 One egg, one embryo, one adult. That is normal. 26 00:01:58,310 --> 00:02:01,370 But a Bokanowski-fied egg will divide into many others. 27 00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:19,669 From 8 to 96 and everyone will grow to a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult, producing 96 human beings instead of one. The staff of a factory from only one Okanowski egg. That is progress. 28 00:02:19,669 --> 00:02:37,300 Soma. The society encourages everyone to take Soma as a means of social control by eliminating the effects of conflict. 29 00:02:38,620 --> 00:02:45,300 Soma was part of the hypopoietic conditioning from the moment of people's decanting. 30 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:58,300 Soma is used to ensure stability and the particular form of happiness that is encouraged, which is believed to be an essential component of a successful society. 31 00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:07,300 The geistes, especially the lower ones, gammas, deltas and epsilons, are capable to kill for the soma. 32 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,300 Soma is the source of life. 33 00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:18,439 in the book in quotation we can see the but would you like being a slave the savage was saying as 34 00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:25,819 they entered the hospital he began to throw the little boxes of soma tablets out of the window 35 00:03:25,819 --> 00:03:34,159 in her moment the light brown crowd was silent frozen with amazement and horror at the sight 36 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:53,219 of this fearful cry a great shout suddenly went up away from the crowd of moments drove it breathing towards the savage free free the savage shouted and with one hand continued to throw the soma 37 00:03:53,219 --> 00:04:10,460 education all the fatal condition in hypnopietic training and the power of convention moulds each individual into an interchangeable part in the society people are taught depending on their social status and the cases have different power over the others 38 00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:23,740 in this world uniqueness is uselessness and uniformity is happiness because social stability is everything for example the conditioning given to the deltas in the conditioning room 39 00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:38,740 in the book we can see the following quotation each shelf was loaded with eight-month-old babies all exactly alike a bokanovski group and all since they were deltas dressed in light brown clothes 40 00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:49,060 at once they began to move towards the books and roses attracted by the bright colors and pretty shapes the babies cried out loud with pleasure and excitement 41 00:04:49,060 --> 00:05:02,139 the head nurse pressed a second switch the screams of the babies became desperate their little bodies stiffened we can send electric shocks all the way through that part of the floor explained the director 42 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,259 At the mere sight of the roses and the books, the infants drew back in horror and began to cry louder than ever. 43 00:05:08,259 --> 00:05:10,360 Gender, race and inequality. 44 00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:17,060 The gender, race and class inequalities expressed in the novel are another way of social control. 45 00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:26,839 In particular, there are no women decanted into alpha beans and the epsilon minus, semi-morons notably wear black, which is called such a beastly color. 46 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:56,819 In the book, it said, 47 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:03,079 of happiness. One group can't do other groups' work because they would feel unhappy. In the book, 48 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:09,199 it's said, I'm glad I'm not an epsilon, said Lenina sincerely. And if you were an epsilon, 49 00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:14,680 said Henry, your conditioning would have made you no less thankful than you weren't a beta or an 50 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,920 alpha. The social classes were also created for making work more productive. For example, 51 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:29,199 On the part of the motto, community, identity, and stability, it's seen that everyone has to work for everyone, putting their little part of help. 52 00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:32,680 And with this, society can still work and keep growing. 53 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,160 A quotation for this is, 54 00:06:36,060 --> 00:06:45,920 Lelina suddenly remembered an occasion when, as a little girl at school, she had woken up in the night and noticed for the first time the whispering that went on all the time when she was asleep. 55 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:49,800 Everyone works for everyone. We can't do without anyone. 56 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Even epsilons are useful. We can't do without anyone. 57 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,800 Suppose epsilons don't mind being epsilons, she said out loud. 58 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,800 Also, they needed the groups to like doing things others don't like. 59 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,800 In the book we can see it with this quotation. 60 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,800 A society of alphas couldn't fail to be restless and unhappy. 61 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,800 An alpha would go mad if he had to do epsilon work or start destroying things. 62 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,639 Only an epsilon can be expected to make epsilon sacrifices for the good reason that, for him, 63 00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:24,180 they aren't sacrifices.
