Introduction to Social Crisis 00:00:02
A central part of the American dream is that people can rise above their status and burden 00:00:04
and become something more. 00:00:09
However, this does not exist in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. 00:00:11
He thought the future would be like this novel, a dystopian novel. 00:00:16
In the Brave New World society, not only the bonds of family are erased, but people are 00:00:19
also predestined for their role in life. 00:00:24
Those at the top, alphas and betas, receive extra attention while those at the bottom, 00:00:27
gammas, deltas and epsilons, are growth and stunt. 00:00:32
We will look at the several castes that make up society in the Brave New World. 00:00:36
To defend the motto of the Brave New World society, community identity and stability, 00:00:45
social classes were created. 00:00:50
This consists of a system of gays which divided into alphas, betas, gammas, deltas and epsilons. 00:00:53
Cats are predeterminated and humans grow in the appropriate manner of their groups. 00:01:01
The lower the case, the dumber and uglier the future individual will be. 00:01:06
The two upper cases can interact socially with each other, alphas and betas, but not with minor groups. 00:01:13
A quotation for social classes is, 00:01:20
there the alphas and betas remain and they definitely bother, 00:01:22
but the gamma's deltas and exodons were brought out again, 00:01:26
after only 36 hours to be treated by Bokanovsky's process. 00:01:29
The Bokanowski Process 00:01:35
It arrests normal human development while promoting the production of dozens identical eggs. 00:01:37
Deliberately deprives human beings of their unique individual natures and so makes over processes for controlling them unnecessary. 00:01:44
Quotation about Bokanowski Process 00:01:52
One egg, one embryo, one adult. That is normal. 00:01:53
But a Bokanowski-fied egg will divide into many others. 00:01:58
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. 00:02:01
Soma. The society encourages everyone to take Soma as a means of social control by eliminating the effects of conflict. 00:02:19
Soma was part of the hypopoietic conditioning from the moment of people's decanting. 00:02:38
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. 00:02:45
The geistes, especially the lower ones, gammas, deltas and epsilons, are capable to kill for the soma. 00:02:58
Soma is the source of life. 00:03:07
in the book in quotation we can see the but would you like being a slave the savage was saying as 00:03:10
they entered the hospital he began to throw the little boxes of soma tablets out of the window 00:03:18
in her moment the light brown crowd was silent frozen with amazement and horror at the sight 00:03:25
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 00:03:34
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 00:03:53
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 00:04:10
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 00:04:23
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 00:04:38
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 00:04:49
At the mere sight of the roses and the books, the infants drew back in horror and began to cry louder than ever. 00:05:02
Gender, race and inequality. 00:05:08
The gender, race and class inequalities expressed in the novel are another way of social control. 00:05:11
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. 00:05:17
In the book, it said, 00:05:26
of happiness. One group can't do other groups' work because they would feel unhappy. In the book, 00:05:56
it's said, I'm glad I'm not an epsilon, said Lenina sincerely. And if you were an epsilon, 00:06:03
said Henry, your conditioning would have made you no less thankful than you weren't a beta or an 00:06:09
alpha. The social classes were also created for making work more productive. For example, 00:06:14
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. 00:06:20
And with this, society can still work and keep growing. 00:06:29
A quotation for this is, 00:06:33
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. 00:06:36
Everyone works for everyone. We can't do without anyone. 00:06:46
Even epsilons are useful. We can't do without anyone. 00:06:49
Suppose epsilons don't mind being epsilons, she said out loud. 00:06:54
Also, they needed the groups to like doing things others don't like. 00:06:59
In the book we can see it with this quotation. 00:07:04
A society of alphas couldn't fail to be restless and unhappy. 00:07:07
An alpha would go mad if he had to do epsilon work or start destroying things. 00:07:11
Only an epsilon can be expected to make epsilon sacrifices for the good reason that, for him, 00:07:16
they aren't sacrifices. 00:07:22
