Revisiting "Brave New World"

In his study, Mr Huxley discusses some of the ideas and observations Which inspired him for his futuristic novel "Brave New World". Among the main topics, overpopulation of some parts of the world was a major concern for the author. The Rapidly Increasing Number of people in relation to limited natural resources may lead to social instability and jeopardize the wellbeing of individuals. There is a correlation between people too Rapidly Multiplying and the rise of totalitarian system of government. Then the author discusses the issue of what should be under taken with congenially or mentally insufficient organisms Which are the result of unfavorable mutations. Should They be allowed to "contaminate" the genetic pool from Which the members of our species will have to draw?
Another problem of modern societies is the factthat the dehumanising Effects of Their over-organization, Especially in cities, may lead to a high incidence of schizophrenia. In "Brave New World" we see a society where people are never alone. This tendency can already be Observed today as William Whyte rightly Observes in "The Organization Man". Concepts like "socially oriented behavior, teamwork, group dynamics, acquisition of social skills" are very trendy nowadays.
Other topics are Discussed by Mr Huxley: such as the concentration of communication power in the hands of a few big concerns, the danger of people assembled in large crowds who then cease to have any judgment or will of Their Own - overwhelmed as They are by simplistic slogans - the question of children being conditioned by advertising from a very early age to buying specific products, the problems Caused by Widely available drugs: such as "Soma" and the effectiveness of subliminal Projections and Hypnopaedia.
An altogether interesting read Which Allows a better understanding of Mr. Huxley's "Brave New World".
