Aldous Huxley once wrote, “If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.” This is clearly a statement about public acceptance and tolerance of dissimilar people. Aldous’ beliefs can be seen in his book, Brave New World by two outcast characters, John Savage and Bernard Marx. Bernard and John are both outspoken about their ideas on society, but differ in their actions when faced with temptations. Although many citizens are conditioned to appreciate the community they live in, both Bernard and John
The story of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a utopian society conflicted by stability. People are oblivious to the morals and ethics upheld by their ancestors 600 years before and, in turn, are demoralized. Babies are born in laboratories, relationships last no longer than "bedtime", and drugs are provided by government for daily use by their citizens. The drug, "soma" symbolizes estatic rapture experienced by the gloomy looking for escape, material religion for those looking for comfort
The most valid document relating to the indigenous responses to Western Imperialism in both the Hawaiian Islands and Africa is “Hawaii’s Last Queen on American Annexation” By Queen Liliuokalani.

John the Savage is a peculiar case within Aldous Huxley 's "Brave New World." His thoughts ran deep, deeper than any primitive native within his reservation. Three distinctly different views aided these thoughts, Linda 's highly spoken words of the brave new world, the Pueblo men and their traditional beliefs, and Shakespeare 's romanticized notions. The collision of these three worlds thus compose the mind of John the Savage, a mind with a belief in a god, a naive view of a world only spoken of
Think about the last time you went out to a restaurant, take notice of just how many times you checked your phone or scrolled aimlessly when the conversation dulled. Technology has come to a point where it requires our attention, whether we are consciously aware of it or not. Similarly, in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, society has been completely altered through the aid of science and technology.
