Dystopia vs Utopia

Throughout the novel, Aldous Huxley creates an image about a new world where everybody is content about their role in society and the caste they are in. For me, the civilized world that they live in would be a never ending nightmare. No one worries about their life, emotions, and about the right or wrong in the society they live in. No one has to be responsible for anyone or anything. What a dream world when there is no interconnections between people, the only way they connect is through sexual relations. Babies are born in the tube, and their life is set up through a system, a system that has already predetermined their lives. These children then grow up to fit in the position which the system give to them. This means people will live  in the world without childhood, family and decision. The world is emotionless and empty. This causes people to use soma, a drug used to satisfy themselves. In addition, people are classified by the color of clothes, height and weight; job and hobby and their intelligence. If you are not fit in the measurement of the group, you will be treated as the outsider, Bernard is an example of being an outcast because of being unable to meet the measurements of society. In my opinion, there are no perfect things, no prefect persons; and life also is also full of struggle. The world can’t be right as utopia or dystopia; it has to mixed between both. Everything has two sides, day and night; hot and cold, black and white, and right and wrong to balance out. Without the balance, life just becomes dysfunctional. Things will fall apart. Again, the perfect life in Huxley’s novel is just a formation of dystopia, which are full of problems hidden by their happy appearance.
