To them "History is bunk."" The Director in chapter 3. This explains that with no God or other divine morals, the past is regarded as backward and detrimental. Huxley makes an emphasis on the over use of drugs that manipulate with our emotions "Christianity without tears that is what soma is.": Mond in chapter 17. Here Mond highlights the true reasoning behind soma; it makes people content without causing the sadness and guilt of Christianity. This emphases how fordism has changed the perspective of society.
BNW is a benevolent dictatorship, for at its pinnacle there are ten world controllers. We get to meet its representative, the donnish Mustapha Mond, Resident Controller of Western Europe. He governs a society where all aspects of an individual's life, from conception and conveyor-belt reproduction onwards, are determined by the state. The individuality of Brave New World's two billion hatchlings is systematically stifled. A government bureau, the Predestinators, decides a prospective citizen's role in the hierarchy. Children are raised and conditioned by the state bureaucracy, not brought up by natural families. There are only ten thousand surnames. Value has been stripped away from the person as an individual human being; respect belongs only to society as a whole. Citizens must not fall in love, marry, or have their own kids. This would seduce their allegiance away from the community as a whole by providing a rival focus of affection. The individual's loyalty is owed to the state alone. By getting rid of potential sources of tension and anxiety and dispelling residual discontents with soma. The World State controls its populace no less than Big Brother. Brave New World is centered on control and manipulation. As ever, the fate of an individual depends on the interplay of Nature and Nurture, heredity and environment: but the utopian state apparatus controls both. Naturally, we find this control disquieting.
