How have they created equality or conformity? How have they reduced conflict,
specifically in regards to religion, relationships, and individual rights? How
have they created or forced happiness/conformity? Make a claim about this
society as either a utopia or a dystopia based the rest of your blog entry.
In "Brave New World" the society has created equality in several different ways. One of those ways is by the Bokanovsky Process. This process includes shocking an egg so that it produces ninety-six identical human beings. This way, they can have more people doing the same exact job at identical machines. They have reduced conflict by placing each fetus in a certain caste. Once they are in this caste, they are practically brainwashed to believe that their caste is the only one that they would want to live in. They are given reasons as to why they would want to be in their caste so that they aren't jealous of any other caste. This society appears to be a utopia on the surface because it appears that their systems of living are working perfectly fine and the citizens seem to be under control. However, it has the potential to become a dystopia based on the fact that they have complete control over everybody, which could eventually be the cause for rebellions to occur.
