Brave New World 3

1. What do you think would have happened of the police hadn't been able to stop the riot? Would the people be able to take action and work together or would they fall apart?


I think if the had John, Bernard, and Helmholtz leading the pack then they might be able to actually do it. John had a discussion with Mond, and I think he could be extremely convincing. He has an advantage because he is actually more of what we consider to be "normal". he knows what it is like to have emotions and feelings, and I think he could really have an effect on society if he hadn't killed himself.

2. What exactly make this society believe that stability and happiness are more important then humanity?

I believe this society stuck on the fact that they think their world is perfect when we know it is not. However, they believe that things must be made perfect by controlling everyone's thoughts and actions. They feel that past societies have failed so the only way to be "perfect" is to create exactly what they want and need. They try to be stable by making everyone in that class equal. They are afraid that if they let people be themselves, be human with human desires, then their world will spin out of control. They are scared.
